HEALTH AND SAFETY
If a child exhibits signs of illness, the responsible parent/guardian will be notified, and the camper will be excluded from all activities. In the event that a camper becomes physically ill and needs to be picked up, they will be separated from the rest of the campers until a parent/guardian arrives. A local emergency name and telephone number must be on file for each child, in case the parent/guardian cannot be contacted. Information concerning allergies or health restrictions must also be on file, along with a physician’s name and telephone number. The Karate Program does not offer Accident Insurance on the children; therefore, a signed release statement must be on file for each child verifying that the parent will assume FULL responsibility for any and all expenses incurred due to injury in the program. Children must wear shoes and the appropriate clothing to all sponsored Karate Programs.
SNACKS & LUNCH
Lunch and three (3) Snacks are provided by the parent/guardian daily, PLEASE NO GLASS BOTTLES!!! Lunches and snacks must not require heating or refrigeration. To prevent unintentional food poisoning, lunch boxes with reusable ice packs should be used when providing your child with diary or meat items. It is recommended that parents/guardians separate lunch items from the intended snack treats, this keeps your child from eating all their food in one meal.
PERSONAL BELONGINGS
Personal game stations and toys are only permitted on specified days and must be approved by the director. NSK staff will not take responsibility for any broken, lost or stolen items. NSK staff will make every attempt to help locate missing items; however, we cannot take responsibility for replacing them.
