YOUTH & FAMILY ACTIVITIES DIRECTOR, Stefanie Arrington We have had an amazing summer and are looking forward to a fun filled fall and winter! We have great activities for your kids and would love to see them at any of our events! One important thing to take note of is that TGIF and Saturday Night events beginning in September will now begin at 5pm rather than 6pm. Drop-In Rates will be increasing to $12 per hour and $14 per hour for guests. Bulk packages have also changed to reflect this.

FROM THE TIMBERS TEAM We are here to make your lives easier. We want you to know that your children will be well cared for while you enjoy your time here at AAC or even go off site for a date night. We are building a new team so you will see lots of new faces around the Timbers area. Please know that all of these people are here to serve you and your children to the best of their ability. Please help us make your child’s experience here as carefree as possible. Please send a change of clothes with your child if they are under the age of 5. Please send a water bottle labeled with your During Drop-In care your child will have time to freely explore games, crafts, and more. When it is appropriate and staff coverage allows for it our counselors will lead the kids in some games and activities. During “reservation required’ events and camps you can expect a schedule of themed counselor led activities such as games, sports, crafts, and more. Parents are required to set up a KidCheck account and update it as needed. WHAT TO BRING Please make sure you have a completed and updated registration packet on file with us. For children 5 and under we ask that you send a complete change of clothes each time you drop them off. We ask that every time your child comes please send a water bottle labeled with their name on it. During the summer please send sunscreen. child’s name for all ages! WHAT TO EXPECT

FOOD AND BEVERAGES We will provide your child a snack during their time with us. For Drop-In care this will be goldfish or animal crackers. During events and camps the snacks will vary based on theme and events. During “registration required” events and camps we will notify you at the time of registration if lunch or dinner will be provided. At any other time, you are welcome to notify our staff if you would like us to order a meal for your child from the Troon. We are a strictly nut and gum free area. If you do send a snack for your child, please be sure to abide by this rule. We can’t allow them to eat any nut products. INFANT CARE For infants under the age of 1, we ask for a courtesy call or email to ensure we have proper staff coverage. Diapers and wipes are included in Timbers Drop-In Care, however, if you have a brand preference or a child with sensitive skin, we ask that you provide the needed diapers and wipes. Please provide a complete change of clothes, at least one extra bottle, and/or baby food in addition to any regular portions they will need while in our care. Additional items such as cream, pacifiers, and comfort items are welcome. Counselors are required to adhere to AAP Safe Sleep Guidelines for SIDS prevention. ILLNESS POLICY Our full Illness Policy is in the Policies form you signed with your registration packet. Basically, if they are too sick for school they are also unable to attend Timbers Drop-In Care, events, or camps. Please be mindful and help us keep everyone healthy.
