Another thing to mention here is the training week all of the program aides will be going through prior to the start of the program. In these trainings, we will cover all the essential information on how the camps work and how to properly supervise. In addition, we will do several 'what if' situations that arise throughout the summer. These situations come from personal experiences in the past 10 years and from research of other camps.
I have heard of those stories of kids left alone and I never want to have that happen in our program, so that is why we train our program aides and supervise them throughout the day.
Hi Meni and thanks for answering my questions again!
I do hope no offence is given, it sounds like you are running a supper program in an extremely responsible manner. Unfortunately I can tell horror stories of my daughter being left on play grounds, wondering halls lost, or found under furniture, with no one really sure how she got there. I know you will understand my concerns.
I’m really excited about this program and will be sitting down with the girls this weekend to pick classes they want to register for!

Before and After Care do not have any "set" activities or routine. These are times that are supervised by several program aides who will help on a daily basis starting activities. There is going to be several different areas in the gym to do the things that the child will want to do. If they like to play sports, there will be balls out. If they like board games, there will be several to choose from. If they just want quiet time to read, we will have a comfy corner for them.
Your children will always be supervised and our program aides will make sure to get them involved if they want to be!
All kids will be escorted from class to the cafeteria. In the cafeteria, they will be supervised the entire time. When it is time to dismiss from lunch, all kids will be taken in the same direction and back to class. The last program aide will leave the cafeteria only when all the kids are gone.
I'd like to throw in here...No child is EVER left unsupervised!

You can register your children online, as well as over the phone or in person. If you go to the www.activ8er.com website, you can go to the program you would like to register for and it will take you directly to our registration system. Once you are in there, you can sign in and sign up for all the classes for the summer.
If you have more questions about this, feel free to post on here or call 706.507.8070 for more help. Once you get signed into the registration site (under your child's name), you can search for all the classes you would like to register for!
