Caring for Children In Camp
NCWHS is a safe and nurturing place for children.
Here are a few guidelines.
Thank you for taking the time to read this thoroughly.
❤ NCWHS is an adult conference with children welcome.
Please be responsible that your children are not disruptive to classes and other events.
❤ Please always know where your children are. It is tempting, we know, to let them run about in a safe environment. Please be sure you know where they are
❤ NEVER let children be at the creek without an adult
❤ Please bring snacks for your child, food lines can take awhile
❤ Please help your child understand how to properly flush camp toilets. You have to hold the handle down or up until the bowl is completely empty
❤ If you have a toddler toddling about without a diaper, please keep a close eye and clean up any dropping
Thank-you very much for your cooperation.
We are looking forward to a very fun and safe weekend with the children!
Using Childcare
Childcare is a very fun and nurturing Waldorf-inspired place for potty-trained children to play and explore while Mamas, Aunties and Care-takers attend classes.
❤ Childcare is for potty trained children
❤ Childcare opens fifteen minutes before each class session begins.
❤ Sign your child in by making contact between you, your child, and one of the childcare coordinators. Do not just drop them off without this.
❤ Childcare closes fifteen minutes after each class session ends.
❤ When The Fairie is hanging over the door of the tipi, Childcare is closed.
❤ Be sure your child understands that s/he may not wander to other parts of camp while signed into childcare. If your child wants to leave, we will come get you.
❤ While your child is in childcare we need to know where you are at all times. If you change location please let us know.
❤ If your Community Work or Work Exchange goes beyond class times, arrange to have a friend pick up your child.
❤ Snacks will be provided during Childcare. If your child has special diet needs please provide appropriate snacks.
❤ Please send your child to Childcare with the following items:
- re-fillable water bottle,
- plate or bowl and cup for snacks
- change of clothes
- shoes or sandals
