fActiv8ers and BeTween 2 Teen camps will be in the Elizabeth Bradley Turner Center, CSU Recreation Center (Sports), and the Center for Commerce and Technology (iTech).

fAll Activ8 campers must be dropped off and picked up at the Elizabeth Bradley Turner Center. They will be escorted by our staff to other locations as needed.

Drop-off & Pick-upThere is only one designated drop-off and pick-up area for all children involved in the Activ8 program: the Elizabeth Bradley Turner Center. This will be the only supervised area on campus to drop-off and pick-up your child. Children are not allowed to be on campus without supervision before 8:45am or after 4:15pm. If you cannot drop-off after 8:45am or pick up before 4:15pm, you must sign your child up for Before and/or After Care.

We will be enforcing a sign-in/out policy for campers. Parking is only allowed in the parking lot of the Elizabeth Bradley Turner Center. Curb parking is prohibited.

SAFETYSafety is our number one concern for your children. All of our employees have passed criminal background checks. At no point in our schedule will your child be left unsupervised. Our program aides go through comprehensive training and will be on campus before, between, and just after classes begin to help direct children to their camps. To accommodate those with allergies, NO NUTS please.

SUPPLIESAll supplies are included with the cost of Activ8 camps unless specified otherwise.

WAIT LISTSWhen our classes fill up, we will put you on our waiting list. If there is an opening, you will be notified. Avoid missing a camp by registering early!

WAIVERAll participants must have a fully completed and signed waiver before they can join the camp. Please make sure that we have all waivers prior to the start of the program. If we do not have your child’s waiver, your child cannot participate.

ABSENCESIf your child is going to be absent or late, please call the Activ8 office at 706.507.8282 to let us know. We need to know where your child is at all times. Activ8 aides take roll at the beginning of each camp. If your child is absent, we will call you to verify their absence.

SPECIAL NEEDSWe welcome all children to our program and make our best effort to accommodate everyone. If your child has special needs, please let us know one week prior to your child attending camp.

HEALTH NEEDSWhen filling out your child’s waiver, please make sure to include all medical information that would be relevant and important for our staff to know. If there are special health needs, please contact our Activ8 office at 706.507.8282.

BAD WEATHERIn case of bad weather (i.e., heavy rain, lightning, or tornadoes), we will keep all children indoors until the weather has passed and the staff has been authorized to go back outside. For the safety of your child, we ask that you allow bad weather to pass before coming to find your child. Our staff will make sure all children get to their destinations once authorization has been received. Please send an umbrella or poncho with your child if the weather requires it.

REFUNDS/CANCELLATIONSIf you choose to withdraw from a camp, you must contact us before 5pm, on the Wednesday prior to the start of the camp, to get a full refund minus a $15 processing fee. If you withdraw after Wednesday, but before the camp begins, you will receive a 50% refund. No refunds are given after a camp begins. We reserve the right to cancel a camp and will notify you before the start date to issue a refund or transfer your child to another camp.
