Farmville Parks and Recreation Day Camp Rules & Policies
- Participants must follow the Farmville Parks and Recreation Department’s Camper Code of Conduct. All participants must sign these policies before the start of camp.
- All campers must have a completed registration form and medical information form on file by the stated deadline. No camper will be allowed to start participating in the camp until all fees and all forms are completed by the arranged deadline.
- Activities will follow the Challenge by Choice principle. This means that the group will offer support and encouragement but will not push someone into activity through peer pressure. We want to encourage everyone to participate, however, if the participant does not want to take part in the planned activity (e.g., swimming, climbing tower, etc.), the participant may take part in an alternative activity led by Parks and Recreation staff.
- Medication: Farmville Parks and Recreation Department staff is not permitted to accept or dispense medication of any kind (except in the event of an emergency) unless a dispense medication form has been filled out by a parent or guardian. It will be the responsibility of the parent/guardian to administer medication to their child.
- Lunch: If a camper chooses not to eat the lunch that is provided, please send a nonperishable lunch with a drink to camp every day. Mark the lunch box/bag with the child’s name. Camp counselors will need to inspect the lunch when it is brought in.
- Water: The weather during camp is usually very hot. Drinking fountains are available, but we suggest you send extra bottles of water to camp with your child labeled clearly with the child’s name.
- Swimming: During the Summer Camp Program, campers will be allowed to swim at different swimming areas. Proper swim attire is required, and it is suggested that it be provided every day. Please, no leotards, shorts with zippers or belt loops, etc. Label swim bags and towels clearly with the child’s name. We recommend you send sunscreen daily and instruct your child on how to apply sunscreen before attending camp. Each camper will be required to take a swim test before water-related activities. If your child CANNOT swim or has any difficulty swimming at all, please send him/her with a life jacket or floaties to camp every day.
- Programs are limited to registered participants only; visitors or guests will not be permitted.
- Drop Off/Pick Up:
- Pick up and drop off location is at the Firemen’s Sports Arena (1328 Zion Hill Rd. Farmville, VA 23901)
- Parents should be punctual in dropping off and picking up campers. All campers must be signed in before entering camp and signed out before leaving.
