If the camper is not found within 10 minutes, the local police department will be notified as well as the parent/guardian. When the police arrive, the search and rescue will be turned over entirely to them.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Day camp staff are CPR/First Aid certified. In the event of an emergency, staff will respond to the best of their ability. Every effort will be made to provide appropriate care.
If a child is injured, first aid will be administered and staff will let the parent/guardian know if their child needs to be picked up. In the case of a severe injury, 911 will be called and parents will be notified that their child was transported by emergency vehicle to the hospital. Minor injuries will be reported to the parent/guardian when they arrive to pick-up their child. An Impact Summer Camp staff member will fill out a complete incident report.
Please be considerate to other families and if your child is demonstrating any sign or symptoms of illness, please keep your child at home. If your child is contagious, allow the recommended time pass by a physician before they return to camp. If your child becomes ill at camp, a parent/guardian will be notified to come and pick them up. Until a parent arrives, they will be separated from other children and provided assistance from a staff member.

NATURAL DISASTERS
In the event of a natural disaster such as severe weather, fire or flood or a lockdown, the safety of our campers and staff is our number one priority! All staff members are properly trained on all of the above safety and evacuation procedures. Drills are held to familiarize staff and children on those specific emergencies.

EVACUATION PLAN
In the event of an evacuation of the Sports Stable in the case of a fire, earthquake, bomb threat or other unforeseen emergencies, we will evacuate to the north of the facility. Depending on circumstances, parents may be notified to pick up their children. Modified evacuation plans may be created depending on the child’s ability.
WEEKLY FIELD TRIPS
We will be taking two field trips per week, one to an assigned destination and the other to the Louisville Rec center. Each group will be checked in and out by the camp coordinator or director. All field trips will be approved by Impact and camp administration to ensure safety and age appropriateness. If the departure of the field trip is before the usual time of your drop off, we ask that you please arrive a minimum of 15 minutes before the estimated departure time. This ensures your child can be assigned to a group for the day and a smooth transition for your child and counselors that morning.

CAMP ACTIVTIES
A detailed weekly calendar will be available at www.myimpactsports.com. The camp curriculum is designed to introduce children to a variety of sports and games. Campers will be encouraged to participate in all sports and activities but reading and board games will always be an option. The days will consist of a combination of small nontraditional games (kickball, dodgeball etc.), with one of our featured sports in the morning and one in the afternoon. The times during the day we are engaged with our highly qualified Sports Performance Coach wlll be a more structured setting. For the weekly scheduled activity, all campers are asked to participate. We strive to have a balance between structured and youth directed time during camp. During drop-off, pick-up and snack times, the camp will be together as a whole and campers can choose to utilize board games, crafts, visit with friends, and spend time in the reading area or watching a movie. At Impact, our staff will encourage new experiences and friendships. If your child is having a difficult time making friends at camp, please do not hesitate to contact a camp counselor or director. We will do our best to introduce them to other children to ensure they have the best summer possible!

However, children who arrive late on a field trip day will not be allowed to attend. There will be no supervision available, at Impact, for campers who arrive after the bus departs the facility.
Please send a leak proof water bottle, campers will have access to cool water during all camp activities and camp staff will be encouraging them to drink plenty of water during the day. most of our activities will be held inside but if we happen to be outside and there is inclement or excessively hot weather, camp activities modified and moved indoors.
