Amazing Animals: Pre-K & K Summer Nature Day Camp

Amazing Animals 

Animals live with us, around us, and on all seven continents. Campers are introduced to some of the most amazing animals in five of the different classes; amphibians, reptiles, fish, birds and mammals. Each child will gain a new understanding of the world after imagining the underwater world of a fish or the soaring abilities of a bird!

This week is only 3 days. No camp July 4th & 5th. Fee is pro-rated. 
Pre-K must be a minimum of 4 year old. All children must be bathroom independent. For the safety of our staff and campers, TNC staff do not go into the bathroom with campers. 

• Use the grade your child is entering next September to determine group.
• Pre-K & K may choose Full days 9:00 am-3:00 pm or Half days. Half days are AM 9:00 am-12:00 pm or PM 12:00 pm-3:00 pm. 
• Campers may attend multiple weeks. Each week will feature different themes and activities.
  
• After registering, primary guardian will receive confirmation emails.
  
• Be sure to sign up early; space is limited and pre-registration is required.

To Register:

3. Wait for your confirmation email and use the link to log into our online health system: PROCARE. 

This is where you will tell us about your camper, fill out health information, emergency contacts, other important safety data, and submit the following required files: The Mandatory Health Packet: Universal Health Record from your child’s health care provider or equivalent form. 

Including an Immunization History:

• Please note, if your health care provider will not be including a complete immunization form the Health Department requires a written statement signed by the parent or guardian explaining how the administration of immunizing agents conflicts with the camper’s exercise of bona fide religious tenets or practices. General philosophical or moral objection to immunization shall not be sufficient for an exemption on religious grounds. 
  
• A copy of your insurance card.
  
• A copy of any information regarding your child's activity restrictions/special needs (ex. IEP, ISFP).
• Complete the form submission through PROCARE 7 days prior to the start of the camp session. New Jersey state law requires that campers submit a current health record each year.

Failure to submit all forms to TNC 7 days before the first day of camp will result in forfeiture of your registration fee. No exceptions.
