Summer Camp Rules

Our goal at PARD is to offer a safe, fun atmosphere that combines learning and play during our free summer camp program.

Please go over these rules with your children.

1.   Please be on time for camp. Most camps begin at 9:00a.m., and being prompt helps everyone have a fun and productive day.

2.   Please leave your belongings at home.  PARD is not responsible for lost or stolen items.

3.   Drinks and snacks are provided during camp.  Other snacks/drinks are available at the front office after camp for $0.75 each.

4.   Camp is limited to those who have registered.  If you have a friend who would like to join you at camp, please call the PARD office at 903-564-5964 before camp and speak with the Camp Director to see if there is an available spot for a visiting camper. 

5.   Please notify PARD if your child will miss a day at camp.  If your child misses more than 2 days of camp without notice, for reasons other than illness or a family emergency, your child may lose his/her place in the camp.

6.   Hitting, spitting, name calling, and refusal to follow directions will not be tolerated.  These or similar actions may lead to campers being corrected by PARD staff for the safety of all in attendance.

7.   Please be respectful of staff and other campers.

Thank you for your support.
