When is comes to safety procedures many parents don’t know what the right questions to ask are. 

Below are some suggestions for topics that you want to make sure get covered in your discussion with the Camp Director. The Camp Director should be able to discuss these topics as easily as if you had asked them to recite their ABC’s.

Topic Tip #5

Safety Procedures- Ask about the safety measures that are in place. These can include inquiring about medical personnel on property, emergency plans (i.e. evacuation, inclement weather), and facility security management, staff screening procedures, instructor qualifications, and operating rules of specific programs.

First of all, I don't understand why teachers are paying for anything out of pocket when the supplyRead More lists that parents receive at the end of the summer are as long as their arms. Secondly, SOCIETY lets the kids down?!?!? I think the school taxes in Yorktown should be sufficient so that the teachers don't have to pay any out-of-pocket expenses. SOCIETY does not let the kids down, it is those who are in control of the school tax monies who let the kids down. Perhaps the administrators should take salary cuts, or maybe we should even eliminate some of those administrative positions. No teacher should have to pay for supplies out of pocket.
