MARCH BREAK & SUMMER CAMPS
NEW - Drop-off and pick-up are now digital - no more paper forms.
We do however require a little bit of help from you - our fabulous camp families as your RA account must include all grown-ups who are authorized to pick-up your child(ren). Only the primary account holder has access to their RA account. Additional contacts do not have access to your on-line services portal nor can they view/access your account. We ask that a photo is uploaded for every contact (grown-ups and children). These photographs will not be shared and are for identification - so please no avatars. For safety and security reasons, we will be asking for ID at pick-up if there is no photo on file.

OTHER CAMP INFORMATION
MARCH BREAK & SUMMER CAMPS
CONTACTING US
To reach us for any reason or to report your child is sick or unable to attend camp, please send a note by email to camps@racentre.com. Please DO NOT send your child to camp if they are sick or not feeling well. For any urgent matters (where time is of the essence), please call the RA's main number at 613-733-5100 and speak with RA Member Services.
MEDICATIONS - We ask that you talk to the Camp Supervisor when you drop off your child regarding your child’s medication. Required medication must be placed in a Ziploc bag and clearly labeled with both the child’s name, dosage, and any specific storage information.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES – Your child’s safety is our number one priority. Our daily activities are designed with safety in mind however we do know that “minor accidents can happen”. As such, counsellors carry fanny pack first aid kits allowing them to deal with the small bumps and bruises on the spot. Senior camp staff and counsellors are certified in first aid and CPR. In the unlikely event of a serious injury, you will be contacted immediately at the contact information that we have on file.
BEHAVIOUR EXPECTATION – RA Camps have behaviour guidelines that are grounded in the RA’s Code of Ethics. Staff will use approaches that are positive, supportive, consistent, proactive and based on logical consequences. Disruptive behaviour will be handled in a fair and consistent manner using progressive behaviour management strategies. These rules are reviewed with the campers each day before the start of camp. Disrespectful behaviour, foul or hurtful language and violence will not be tolerated. The Association reserves the right to withdraw your child from camp should their behaviour jeopardize safety of themselves, other campers, staff, or property.
