TERMS OF AGREEMENT
I enter into this contract with the full knowledge of my obligation and my agreement to meet the following policies of Camp Fire North Shore:
To complete a child registration and pay a non-refundable Family Fee of $20.00/child or $30.00/family. The registration must include all pertinent information related to the safety of my child and I agree to update all of the information as necessary throughout the year. This includes changes in phone numbers, address, medical history, emergency contacts, etc.
To pay tuition on Mondays, one week prior to my child attending the program whether or not my child is in attendance. This is a full week in advance. This includes when my child is sick and away on vacation when the program is open.
To pay a late fee of $10.00 for tuition payments received three or more days after the Monday due date. Any payments due in a given week will be assessed this late fee if payment is not received by close of business Wednesday.
To pay a late fee of $10.00 per fifteen minutes if I do not pick up my child by the closing of the program. Continuous tardiness could result in termination of my child from the program.
To provide a two-week cancellation notice to the Main Office should I choose to terminate my child's registration. If notice of cancellation is not received 14 days prior to service, I will be financially responsible for the remaining tuition. Refunds on tuition and exemptions to the 14 day rule are made only for documented medical reasons causing a child to withdraw. A written notice from your health care provider must be provided.
I understand that I am not obligated to pay for scheduled holidays and school vacation days, per the published school district calendars. I am responsible to pay snow and/or inclement weather days throughout the school year.
I understand there will be no deduction in tuition if my child is absent from school or the Camp Fire program due to illness, extracurricular activities, inclement weather, or any other condition beyond the control of the Camp Fire program.
I further understand that if I fall behind in tuition payments, the Camp Fire Extended Day Programs will terminate my child’s participation in the program, effective immediately. This action will not alter my obligation to pay the balance due.
Massachusetts health regulations require all participants to have a current physical and immunization record on file before the child may attend program. I understand my child cannot be admitted to program without this documentation.
Participants will wear a face mask or covering while at program. I understand that my child cannot be admitted to program without a face mask or covering.
Massachusetts reopening regulations require programs to establish an emergency communication system. Camp Fire North Shore staff and Directors will use the REMIND APP to communicate emergency and general information to parents/guardians. I agree to download and monitor the REMIND APP.
I agree to call the Camp Fire Main Office or the Camp Fire school site cell phone if my child will be out sick or is going to be absent.
I understand that my child may be terminated from the program due to behavior or other issues, per the policy listed in the Parent Handbook. This action will not alter my obligation to pay the balance due.
I authorize Camp Fire North Shore to photograph/video my child while involved in program activities. I understand these pictures will only be used for Camp Fire promotion, marketing and for Camp Fire projects.
FIRST AID AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE CONSENT:
I authorize staff in the child care program who are trained in the basics of first aid/CPR to give my child first aid/CPR when appropriate. I understand that every effort will be made to contact me in the event of an emergency requiring medical attention for my child. However, if I cannot be reached, I hereby authorize the program to transport my child to the nearest medical care facility and to secure necessary medical treatment for my child.
TRANSPORTATION PLAN FOR PROGRAM:
I agree to keep emergency contact/authorized pick up information updated in the Regpack registration system. I, or an authorized contact, will pick up my child and sign the child out at the end of the program day.
TRANSPORTATION PLAN FOR WALKING FIELD TRIPS:
I hereby give permission for my child to participate in walking field trips (weather permitting) with members of the Camp Fire staff (to locations such as a playground, field, park, etc.). Children will bring their belongings with them so that they can be picked up at the off-site location.
