SUN CARE POLICY


All children are encouraged to bring their own sun block with them each day with their name clearly labeled on the container. All children will be reminded by counselors and senior staff members throughout the day to reapply sun block to prevent any burns. However, the staff is not allowed to apply sun block on your child unless there is a waiver on file. As a result, we recommend that parents who do not return a waiver send in sun block that is in a spray bottle. If the sun block is provided in a spray bottle the staff is allowed to spray on the sun block and the child will be asked to rub it in. Senior Staff are the only staff members who would be allowed to apply sunblock to a child who has a signed waiver on file. Counselors are permitted to spray on sunblock if a spray bottle is provided.
