Creepy Crawly Critters: Pre-K/K Summer Nature Day Camp

Creepy Crawly Critters  
They're creepy and they're kooky /mysterious and spooky/ they’re all together gooky…no, not the Addams family; it’s the week of Creepy, Crawly Critters at Tenafly Nature Center! Are snakes slimy? Do toads give you warts? Join us this week and learn about the slimiest and most slithery organisms.

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 9am-3pm or Half days. Half days are AM 9am-12pm or PM 12-3pm. 
• 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.

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 Summer Nature Day Camp Mandatory Health Form from your child’s health care provider. (You do not need to use our form but you need to provide a copy filled out by a medical professional.

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 CAMPDOCS 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.
