St. Charles Road) on Mondays & Wednesdays. See page 7 for complete listing of pool days. Camp will visit Paradise Bay Water Park in the afternoon. Entrance for camp are the sliding doors at the Community Building. Signs will be displayed to show you where the Day Camp entrance is. During pool visits at Paradise Bay, campers are assigned to a Counselor and are expected to stay with the Counselor during the entire visit to Paradise Bay Water Park. Counselors will be responsible for their group and will inform campers to stay by them the entire time. Counselors assign bathroom breaks, concession breaks, and swimming breaks with their groups. All campers are expected to adhere to the assigned breaks and changes will be made if necessary. If a camper does not adhere to the assigned breaks or rules, swimming privileges will be taken away for the rest of the day and parents/guardians will be notified. Campers conclude their scheduled swimming time at 3:00 p.m. and will meet on the grassy area in front of Paradise Bay Water Park ready for pick up between 3:15-3:30 p.m. We ask you to wait outside the Water Park to pick up your camper. If you plan to pick up your camper prior to 3:15 p.m., staff should be contacted in advance to accommodate this request. On extremely hot days, campers will be waiting inside the Community Building for pick up. Please fill out the emergency/information form, which also tells us what pool level they are allowed to swim in. If pool levels are not clearly notified, camper will not be able to swim. Staff will group campers together with similar swimming abilities. SENIOR/ TEEN CAMPERS Senior/Teen Campers have the opportunity to go to the pool additional days because Senior/Teen Camp is held at the Lombard Community Building. These additional pool days are a privilege to Senior/Teen Campers and can be taken away at any time based on cooperation, attitude, and general behavior. During pool visits at Paradise Bay campers are assigned to a Counselor and are expected to stay with the Counselor the entire visit to Paradise Bay Water Park. Counselors will be responsible for their group and will inform campers to stay by them the entire time. Counselors assign bathroom breaks, concession breaks, and swimming breaks with their groups. All campers are expected to adhere to the assigned breaks, and changes will be made if necessary. If a camper does not adhere to the assigned breaks or rules, swimming privileges will be taken away for the rest of the day and parents/guardians will be notified. SWIM LESSONS Swim lessons are now available only to Day Camp participants. The cost is $3 per lesson or you can purchase eight lessons for $16. Swim lessons will be held on Wednesdays from 8:30-9:10 am at Paradise Bay Water Park where Day Camp is scheduled every Wednesday during the summer. Once campers are done with swim lessons, counselors will pick them up from inside the water park and bring them to the camp. Additional registration is required for Swim Lessons. Field Trips Junior and Senior/Teen campers will be going on field trips every Friday. During the week of July 27, campers will be going on the field trip on Wednesday. The field trip schedule is on page 7. The field trip permission form is attached to the Camp Handbook or can be found at lombardparks.com. The field trip form only has to be filled out once and will be used for all field trips during the summer. The field trip form must be signed by a parent/ guardian and handed in at the time of registration. If an emergency contact needs to be changed, a new field trip form must be filled out. Field trip departure times may vary throughout the entire summer. Please make sure your camper arrives to camp on time. If camper is running late, please call the cell phone that is assigned to either the Junior or Senior Day Camp. Please note that if Lombard Park District counselors and staff feel that a field trip facility is unsafe, counselors have the right to leave the facility and cancel the rest of the field trip for the day.
