Camp Forms
NO CHILD WILL BE ALLOWED TO ATTEND CAMP WITHOUT SUBMITTED FORMS. If your child needs to receive medicine (including keeping an Epi-pen at camp) while at camp, please print out the physician’s signature form, which must be completed by both physician and parent, and upload back into the system. If you would like to check if we received it, you may log in and under Forms and Documents you will see what has been received. FRED’S CAMP cannot administer medications without this form.
CALENDAR
BUSES
Bus schedules will be emailed approximately 1-2 week before camp begins. If you have any questions/changes (i.e. morning or afternoon bus only), call Jodi 773-818-8027 ASAP. Once camp begins, please only use the camp phone number 773-325-3733 to reach Jodi.
TRIP DAYS - Not every week
Tween Camp – Monday
Senior Camp – Tuesday
Junior Camp – Wednesday
FIRST AID/EMERGENCIES
Minor bruises, scratches and cuts will be taken care of at camp. If it is anything more serious, we will call you or your emergency number. If emergency care is required, we will go to Lurie Children’s Memorial Hospital or the closest medical facility. During our staff orientation, most of our Senior staff will become certified in CPR/Red Cross and Epi Pen trained.
LUNCHES/COOKOUTS - Peanut and Tree Nut Free
Parents are to send lunches every day except Friday, which is our cookout day. We will provide beverages every day and a snack before the campers go home. Lunches are refrigerated as soon as your children arrive at camp. Please send your child’s lunch in a labeled bag marked with his/her name. On trip day, please do not send a lunch that can spoil as lunches are not refrigerated that day.
SWIMMING
We will be swimming 3-4 times per week under the direction of our own Water Safety Instructors (WSI). Each swim period includes about 25 minutes of instruction. Please send a bathing suit and towel every day, unless notified by camp, as we often have water activities on our trip days.
We leave camp around 9:15 a.m. and will be away the entire day. The calendar will list the various trips. Your child will return home at the usual time.
Virtual Orientation – Thursday, June 15 at 7:00 PM
We will be sending out a link for parents to submit questions ahead of the call so we make sure to answer everything.
To recap, campers will need to wear comfy weather appropriate clothing, closed toe shoes with rubber soles (gym shoes are the best), sunscreen, lunch, bathing suit, and towel. We provide lunches on Fridays.
We are looking forward to a fantastic summer. Please reach out with any questions or comments.
