What Parents Need to Know

Arrival

Registration for day camps is between 8:30 – 9:00 a.m. Monday – Friday. All parents/guardians assume the risk of sending their child to camp this summer during Covid-19. No early arrivals, please.

Departure

Day camps will conclude each day at 5:00 p.m. Due to covid-19 there won’t be a closing program for the families on Fridays.

Insurance

Providing medical insurance for the Rancher is the parent/guardian’s responsibility. All expenses due to illness are the responsibility of the parent or guardian.

Medical Procedure

Parents will be notified in the event of an emergency, injury, or sickness requiring medical attention. All parents in a Rancher’s group will also be notified if a Rancher is symptomatic with covid-19. Refunds for early departure due to sickness or injury are given on a prorated basis. A parent or guardian must complete the liability / medical release form.

Medications

All medications and vitamins that the Rancher will need while on property must be turned in during Registration on Monday and will be administered by the camp nurse throughout the week. Medications are to be in their original prescription containers, vitamins should have the Rancher’s name on the package. No medication in substitute containers or with altered or hand written dosages will be accepted. Ranchers who require inhalers or other medication to be kept with them are required to have written permission from their medical doctor. Please present this written permission at check-in.

Homesickness

A certain amount of homesickness is both natural and healthy whenever a child is away from their home. In the case that a child becomes extremely homesick, we will contact the parents to let them know the situation and ask them how they want us to handle it. Understand, though, that we do not give refunds for early departures due to homesickness or missed days.

Special Dietary Needs

Due to the numbers of individuals we serve each meal, we are unable to meet special dietary needs and menus. Some exceptions may apply. Please contact MMR at [email protected] to see if we can meet your child’s need.
