Many counselors return year after year to help create an exceptional summer atmosphere for your camper. Parent Orientation An informational parent meeting for Day Camp will be held on Tuesday, May 27 at 6:00 pm at Sunset Knoll Recreation Center. Parents who have children signed up for Day Camp will be able to pick up their campers t-shirt and Emergency forms, which must be filled out and handed in before the camper's first day.

Registration Registration for Day Camp, Teen Camp, and Sunrise and Sunset Camp must be done at the Sunset Knoll Recreation Center (820 S. Finley Road, Lombard). Camp staff will not be allowed to take registration forms and payment at Pleasant Lane School or Lombard Community Building. Registration for camp must be completed three business days prior to the first day of camp. Emergency/information form, field trip permission form, and medication form must be filled out at the time of registration. Medication The camp staff needs to be notified of any medications your child may need to take during the summer program. A release form is attached to this packet and must be signed and returned by a parent/guardian for medications to be issued. Medications should be sent in the original container and must be a prescription. Staff will use a medication log when dispensed. Self-carry inhalers are allowed when proper forms have been filled out. 3-Day Option The 3-day option is only offered for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and can only be used within the same week. Emergency Care and Forms Participants will receive a Day Camp emergency form (attached to this packet) that is to be completed and returned at the time of registration. If registering online, the emergency form must be handed in to Sunset Knoll before the first day of camp. If there are any changes, please notify the Site Supervisor or Program Manager. Your child's Camp Counselor and Site Supervisor will have this form on them at all times while camp is in session. In the event your child becomes ill or injured while attending camp, the following actions will occur: 1. Parent will be contacted and will be asked to pick up their child if necessary. If the parent can't be reached, the emergency number(s) provided will be called. 2. Basic first-aid will be applied for minor injuries. 3. For serious injuries, staff will contact local paramedics and notify parents or emergency contact. If it is impossible to reach the parent/ guardian, paramedics will take the child to the nearest medical facility.
