SNACKS! Bring plenty of snacks for the day. Scheduled snack breaks are offered midmorning but children are able to eat when they need to.
BIG NUTRITIOUS LUNCH If your camp is nut free you will be notified. No sugary drinks or soda please. Nutritious food encouraged.
NO PHONES or electronics allowed at camp. Children are NOT allowed to have their cell phones and must check them in with a coach at drop off.

BEHAVIOR EXPECTATIONS:
Our goal is to create a community of children each week. We hope that every camper leaves camp with new friends and wonderful memories.
All campers will be expected to listen and follow the directions of the coaches. This is vital to the wellbeing and safety of your child and the other campers. If your child is struggling we will work with them to help find ways for them to succeed. If the challenging behavior dictates, we will then call a caregiver and work with them to resolve any issues. If the issues continue and our staff feels it is best, the child will be sent home and no refunds will be issued for that day. If your child is sent home, a phone meeting or in person meeting will need to be scheduled for your child to return to the camp community. We will work with all children to be successful at Playformance. We often find the children who need the most support from us are the ones who benefit the most from Playformance.
All campers will be expected to be kind towards other campers. We have 2 principles of play at Playformance. 1) We play to have fun and 2) we take care of the people. Any violent aggressive words or actions towards other campers or coaches will not be tolerated. If your child uses violent words and or actions towards another camper they will be sent home for the day. If your child is sent home, a phone meeting or in person meeting will need to be scheduled for your child to return to camp.
If you have any concerns or questions about your child's experience at Playformance Camp please make arrangements to talk with a coach before drop off or after pick up. Coaches will not be available to talk during drop off or at pick up about your child's behavior or needs. Please email us at camp@playformancetucson.com or call 520-623-3904. These are the best numbers to reach us during camp hours for urgent matters.

ILLNESS POLICY:
We will NOT accept children at camp who are sick. We understand that sometimes illness can keep your child out of camp.
Any child showing any symptoms of illness including but not limited to fever, headache, coughing, sneezing, runny nose, or excessive tiredness, will be sent home. If in doubt of your child's wellness, please keep them home. Credits may be given to avoid the spread of illness. These are given on a case by case basis. Email austin@playformancetucson.com

CANCELLATION POLICY:
No refunds will be given for canceled reservations. Rescheduling to other camps may be possible when space permits. For questions, email our camp director, Austin Malak at camp@playformancetucson.com
