YMCA Camp High Harbour Services Office 200 Main Street, Suite 108 Gainesville, GA 30501 Phone: (770) 532-2267 Fax: (800) 954-5586 www.camphighharbour.com Lake Burton - 706-782-6311 (summer only) Lake Allatoona - 770-966-9668 (summer only) CAMP OFFICE BUSINESS HOURS Monday - Friday 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. In case of an emergency during your camper s session, our voice mail will list a number that can be contacted 24 hours a day. PRIOR TO CAMP Health Form - Must be signed by a physician or midlevel. Hand deliver on opening day. CAMP FEES PAID The balance of all Camp Fees must be received by the Camp Office by April 15 to avoid cancellation of your registration. Also, there is a mandatory monthly payment of camper fees. HIGH STANDARDS YMCA Camp High Harbour is fully accredited by the American Camping Association, a nationally recognized association. REFUNDS Camp High Harbour is here to make a positive, life-long difference for every camper. Through many years of experience we have developed a highly refined and successful system. To provide maximum value to each camper's experience, we must provide the finest staff, services and special equipment (boats, etc). The expense to provide and maintain these features is on-going, regardless of whether or not an individual camper attends camp or must return home early from camp for any reason. Therefore, our cancellation policy is as follows: On or before April 15 : Registration Fee: Non-refundable Camper s Fee: 100% refundable After April 15: No refund No refunds will be granted for children who are sent home during their session for misbehavior, homesickness, or other reasons beyond the Camp's control. Since camp sessions cannot be filled mid-week, no prorated fee is available for late arrival or early departure. Our refund policy is strictly enforced. TRANSPORTATION Camp High Harbour does not furnish transportation for campers to camp at Lake Burton or Lake Allatoona. WEEKEND CARRY-OVER CAMPERS Campers who are registered for more than one session will remain at camp over the weekend. There is an additional $45.00 fee which directly covers our cost for the weekend and is indicated on your campers invoice. The weekend programs are held at all locations. CHECK IN Information For All Campers and Parents Parents are encouraged to bring children to camp to meet the staff, tour the facilities, and get their camper(s) settled in the cabin. Lake Burton and Lake Allatooona sites: ARRIVAL TIME: Sunday 2:00-4:00 p.m. EST DEPARTURE TIME: Saturday 10:00-11:00 a.m. EST Please do not request or attempt to check-in early. The staff will be preparing and in a meeting to get ready for your child's session and will not be available until 2pm. In the best interest of all concerned, we ask that you adhere to the check in schedule. Please remember, camp sites are a natural outdoor setting and have been designed to serve children, not vehicles. Thus, parking may be limited upon arrival and your patience is appreciated, especially in the event of inclement weather. The camp staff will move you through the check in process as quickly as they can allow, with ensuring you and your camper are taken care. Boat Arrival/Pickup Should you wish to drop off your camper by boat on the opening day of their session, please stay in your watercraft until 2pm when our staff will begin to check campers in. Please understand that there is limited dock space at both facilities so on certain opening days there may be an extended wait time. It is NOT necessary to call site office for boat arrivals, only for boat pick up on Saturday. Boat pick ups must be made prior to noon on Friday before scheduled departure date with the site office. If you do not prearrange to pick up your camper by boat by noon on Friday before they are scheduled for pick up, you could experience extended wait times. Please be prepared with payment information when you call. CHECK OUT All sessions conclude on Saturdays at approximately 10 am. To officially check your camper out, please close out campstore accounts and sign out your camper out at their cabin. If someone other than the person who brought the child to camp will pick him/her up, please notify your camper's site office prior to noon on Friday, and note your permission for this departure in writing on your camper's health form. Parents will also need to leave payment information for the campstore with the site office. As our staff deserve to spend the day with their own families, all departing campers should be picked up by 11:00 am. Please remember to check over your camper's belongings before departing, and to reclaim any medications that were left with the infirmary. LATE FEES - EARLY DEPARTURE or LATE PICK-UP Campers who are picked up outside of the normal pick-up times of 10am - 11am on closing Saturday will be accessed a charge of $25. CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS Financial assistance is available based on need. Please call the Camp Office for details about camp scholarships (770) 532-2267. We actively seek to involve those in need.

SPECIAL NEEDS AND CIRCUMSTANCES If a camper has any medicinal requirements, behavioral conditions, dietary conditions, please notify the camp office prior to attending camp. Reasonable accommodations will be made for campers who have special needs, provided that a parent/guardian contacts camp at least one month prior to your child attending camp with a specific care plan from your Specialist or Primary Care Physician. One-on-one aides are not provided by Camp. No camper will be denied acceptance unless his/her presence would pose a significant risk to himself or herself, or the greater population, as determined by the Camp Administration as well as Camp Medical Advisory Committee. Moreover, if YMCA Camp High Harbour cannot meet the child's needs through reasonable accommodations, the placement cannot be accepted. All sites are open environments with several natural hazards and terrain. SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES Should you need to drop off/ pickup you camper outside of normal times there is a $25 charge. INFIRMARY PROCEDURES Should your camper reach a temperature over 100.4 degrees, be infirmed more then 24 hours, excess vomiting, or need outside medical attention, parents will be notified by the camp medical staff or director. Please do not send your camper if they have been exposed to the flu or any contagious illness prior to camp. If your camper has been exposed to someone with strep throat/pink eye/or a virus prior to camp, we suggest a doctor s clearance and visiting the infirmary at check in. The camp setting is communal and campers are subject to contract things just as they would in a school environment. We appreciate ahead of time your cooperation in helping us keep all campers and staff healthy during thier stay at camp. Campers will be asked to be picked up: Run fever for consecutive days and/or show no signs of improvement, excess vomiting, other illness deemed not suitable to be in a communal camp environment by our medical staff. LICE PROCEDURE It is the responsibility of the parent or guardian to check their camper for lice prior to your arrival at camp. If a camper is found with lice, they will be removed from camp as soon as possible. There is no refund due to the time missed at camp. In order to return to camp, the camper must have a signed document from a professional organization stating that the camper is free of lice and/or nits. INSURANCE/ILLNESS Camp High Harbour does not carry Accident or Sickness Insurance on summer youth campers. It is the policy of Camp High Harbour and our medical staff not to keep sick campers for more than two days in our camp infirmary. Campers who miss more of the camp program should not be at camp; therefore, we ask that the parents care for the child at home and see the family doctor. We stock medicines to be dispensed by our medical staff, under Doctor s orders, to campers who are ill for short periods of time. The cost of prescription medications and doctor s visits are the responsibility of the parents. NOTE: The Health Form with copies of insurance and prescription cards must be completed and brought to camp on opening day of your camper s session. Campers will not be allowed to stay at camp for more than 24 hours without a signed Health Form. VISITORS/TELEPHONE CALLS Parents are encouraged to see camp only on opening and closing days. At camp, we strive for campers to develop independence, and an integral part of the maturing process is the extended experience away from home. In keeping with this, WE HIGHLY DISCOURAGE PHONE CALLS TO CAMPERS UNLESS THERE IS A FAMILY EMERGENCY. HOMESICKNESS It is quite normal for campers to experience homesickness. Our staff is prepared to identify such feelings and encourage campers to participate in the camp activities. Generally campers adjust to their surroundings and thrive in our program within a few days. In the event that your child does not adapt well (by the third day), our site director will contact the parent to discuss any further actions. No camper will be forced to endure a camp experience they perceive as negative. CABIN ASSIGNMENTS Cabin assignments are gender-specific, and are done by general age. We will do our best to honor cabin and bunkmate request: however, like most camps, in fairness to campers who are not attending with acquaintances, we can not guarantee particular cabins or bunkmates. (Cabin assignments are done by time and date of registration). The goal of YMCA Camp High Harbour is to provide every child with the Camp High Harbour experience while encouraging new friendships and a sense of inclusion. MEALS Each site offers a dining hall where all meals are served. Campers sit with their cabin group. Meals are well-balanced, reviewed by a dietitian and served by our professional food service staff. Meals are served family style so campers may help themselves at the table. SPECIAL DIETS AND OTHER NEEDS Our Camp Dining Hall can serve a limited variety of special diets if your camper requires uncomplicated dietary needs. You must notify the camp office in writing 4 weeks prior to your campers arrival. Campers with special emotional or physical needs should be called to the attention of the Camp Director and Staff by fully describing any unique requirements of your camper on your Camper Health Form. Please call the Camp Office if you have questions regarding campers and their special needs. DAILY INSPECTION A large part of the camp experience is teaching campers the responsibility of caring for themselves and their surroundings. All campers are expected to participate in helping clean their cabins and bathrooms each day. CELL PHONES It is the policy of YMCA Camp High Harbour to not allow cell phones to be brought into camp by campers. Camp will not be held responsible for lost, stolen, or broken cell phones. Should an emergency arise with your camper while at camp, you will receive a phone call from our camp personnel. Should you need to get a message to your camper, please contact camp directly.

ADVENTURE DAY On Wednesday of each session, campers registered in the Pathfinder program are able to choose one of several trips to participate in on that day. Campers are transported via bus to several locations within close proximity to camp. Campers sign up for their trips on Monday during night program. Campers will be charged an additional fee of $15 to their store account. Adventure Day concludes with cookout and movie night. Sunscreen is a must for all campers on Adventure Day. Sleeping bags are required for our campers in cabins 6&12 (Lake Burton) and 4&8 (Lake Allatoona) and specialty programs. For more details, see Adventure Day page. CLOTHING When sending your camper to camp please label all their belongings (clothing, shoes, sleeping bags, etc.) with their first and last name. Camp clothes seem to see a lot of wear and tear, please consider sending items that are comfortable and well broken in. Please do not send new or expensive items to camp. We will make every attempt to return lost and found items while your camper is attending camp. Please note: While our staff try to help all campers keep up with their belongings, it is ultimately the responsibility of your camper to make sure they have all of their things. If your camper accidentally leaves items behind at camp, we are only able to return items that have camper's full name clearly marked on them. Items will be mailed at parent's expense via a UPS scheduled pick-up. Items without names and/or left for longer than two weeks will be given to local charity. YMCA Camp High Harbour will not be held responsible for any lost items, but will make every effort to return all labeled items. DRESS CODE Campers' and staff dress should reflect good taste and concern for the values and standards of other campers. Inappropriate dress includes but is not limited to the following: Hats worn backwards or to the side, short shorts, clothing promoting alcohol, drugs, tobacco products, provocative swim suits, clothing, bare midriff, spaghetti straps, clothing where under garments show through. Campers may be asked to change if the Camp Director deems clothing to be inappropriate. VANDALISM Campers involved in vandalism or malicious mischief either against camp property or against another camper or staff are disciplined immediately. Vandalism includes any kind of graffiti on camp beds, walls, bathroom stalls, etc. The parent will be contacted immediately. Violation of this policy may result in the camper being sent home early from camp. Payment to repair any damage accrued as a result to the camper's vandalism is the responsibility of the camper parent or guardian. DEVOTIONAL AND CHAPEL PROGRAMS Each evening, campers end the day with a devotional/discussion appropriate for their particular age group. All devotions are based on Christian values.

WEEKLY THEMES During each session of the summer, camp has a theme to add excitement and fun to your camper s week. On Friday, we end the week with a celebration that is the highlight of each theme week. Session 1 Session 2 Session 3 Session 4 Session 5 Session 6 Session 7 Session 8 Session 9 Aloha Summer! Time Warp by the Decade Movie Magic Carnival Party In the USA Camp s Got Talent Holiday Week Sports Week Peace Out! CAMPER S LAUNDRY The camp provides a laundry service to campers who stay for more than one week. Laundry fees are included with weekend carryover cost. YMCA Camp High Harbour will provide each carryover camper with a laundry bag with the camper's name on it to send in. All clothes must be labeled with camper s first and last names. Only camp issued laundry bags will go out on laundry day. CABIN PICTURES Cabin Pictures will be taken weekly. Pictures must be ordered by parents on opening day of the camper s session.. If you camper is staying for multiple sessions at camp, please let the check-in staff know if you would like pictures on both weeks or one designated session. Charges for cabin pictures will show up on your camper's campstore bill. The picture is an extra charge and will be charged to your camper s camp store account. ONLINE PHOTO GALLERY Please note that it is our top priority to provide a quality camp experience for your child by directing staff resources to the on site program, thus the photo gallery might not cover all campers and programs every day. We do our best to include as many campers as possible in camp candid photos, however, due to the large volume, all campers may not be photographed during their stay at camp. CAMP STORE Several items may be purchased by the campers at the campstore. Camper do not need money during their time at camp. (No vending machines on site). Each camper has a "charge account." There is a small amount of healthy snack sold in the campstore. Each camper will be issued a parent approved credit limit that must be paid at pick up. Payment for the campstore will not be accepted on opening day. Please be prepared to pay in full all campstore balance on the day you pick up your camper(s). RETREAT SEASON PROGRAMS In addition to offering one of the finest camping programs available, the camp also provides programs during the fall and spring months. The camp facilities are available for rent to churches, schools, YMCA groups and other organizations during our retreat season. For more information about camp and its programs, please call (770) 532-2267. REGISTRATION FOR NEXT SUMMER Please visit our website after August 15 to get updated registration information for the upcoming summer. Our website, www.camphighharbour.com, is the only method of registration. CAMPER MAIL We strongly encourage you to write and send letters to your camper during their stay at camp. It is also a good idea to send pre-stamped postcards or envelopes, addressed to your home, with them to camp. Please make sure to include your camper's cabin number on any mail sent. (All camper cabin numbers can be found on your confirmation as well as your household account). Please understand it is up to the parent to have the correct site and cabin numbers on any mail sent.

All mail can be sent through the US Post Office, UPS, FedEx.

We have limited space to store things in the cabins. We have a limited ability to dispose of boxes and filler. We will gladly accept an envelope that is no larger than 12"x 15"x ¾", otherwise known as: - A USPS Bubble Mailer - UPS Size 5 Envelope - A FedEx Large Pak Any packages received out of these guidelines listed above will have a camp handling fee of $1.99 per package charged to your camper s store account. It's probably a good idea to let grandparents, aunts, uncles and other relatives know about this policy as well so your camper does not incur unnecessary charges on their campstore account. Campers are required to sign off on packages received and carry them on their own to their cabins. Should you need to send something to your camper, leadership camper, or staff member outside of these guidelines, please contact your site office. SENDING OR BRINGING FOOD TO CAMP Your campers are fed full, healthy meals three times each day. Please refrain from sending your camper any foods with peanuts or peanut products for the protection of our campers with allergies. It is with this in mind that the Camp Director reserves the right to remove any food or candy from the cabin if it becomes a problem. We sell a small variety of snacks as well as drinks in the camp store. Your cooperation with this matter is greatly appreciated.
