How will you keep my child safe during the COVID-19 pandemic?
Don Moyer Boys & Girls Club is operating under a “new normal” during these challenging times. Our #1 priority is the safety of your child. The safety protocols will be followed as recommended by the Center for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) which includes periodic handwashing, and teaching our youth to prevent the spread of viruses.
Don Moyer Boys & Girls Club is the only place that some of the families in our community can turn to when schools are closed. We have carefully considered the risks of our Club reopening, as well as the risks of disruption to service over the summer for families in our community. We believe that reopening for limited service will fill a critical need to the community. Don Moyer Boys & Girls Club will remain vigilant to protect the well-being of the members and staff.
Here are some of the steps we're taking to minimize risk and ensure a safe reopening:
- 1:9 Staff-to-youth ratio
- Only youth and staff will be allowed in the building (drop-off & pick-up will be held outside the doors)
- Before entering the building all staff & youth will have their temperature taken and recorded three times daily
- Hand washing will be implemented every 60 minutes throughout the program day
- Social distancing, avoiding physical contact and mask wearing will be of top priority
You can read our detailed procedures on our Safety Guidelines page.
-
What programs are offered at camp?
The Club offers a variety of programs and activities, some developed locally and some using national curricula from Boys & Girls Clubs of America. Please click the links below to read more about the programs your child will participate in at camp:
-
Will there be field trips?
In accordance with guidelines from the CDC, we do not plan to take any field trips this summer. If these guidelines change, parent/guardians will be notified of any optional field trip opportunities.
-
What else do I need to do to register my child?
After submitting your registration form, your registration is not complete until the following steps have been completed:
- Participation Waiver: All parent/guardians will be required to sign a waiver acknowledging the risks involved of contracting COVID-19. Waivers will be distributed on the first day of camp. You can preview the waiver here.
- Virtual Parent Orientation - All parent/guardians must attend a Virtual Parent Orientation. We will go over our safety procedures in detail and answer any questions you have about Summer Camp.
- Payment - Payment arrangements must be made within 3 business days of registration, or your child will be moved to the Waiting List.
-
Do you offer any discounts, scholarships or waivers?
At this time we do not offer any scholarships or discounts. Payment plans for Summer Camp are offered on a case-by-case basis. If you are eligible for Child Care Assistance, you can contact the Illinois Department of Human Services to seek aid for Summer Camp.
-
How do I pay for Summer Camp?
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we cannot accept in-person payments. Club staff will work with you to set up debit/credit card payments over the phone or online, or you can mail a check or money order to our main office. Please do not send payment until we have confirmed your registration. You will not be charged if your child is on the Waiting List.
-
Will meals be served at camp? Can my child pack a lunch?
Outside food and drink are not allowed in the building due to health and safety concerns. We will serve lunch and snack each day at our K-5 camp and dinner at our Teen Camp. Please make sure the Club is aware of your child's allergies and dietary restrictions.
-
Where is my child on the Waiting List?
If a program is full when you register your child, Club staff will notify you of your child's initial place on the Waiting List. When a spot has opened up for your child, we will call you right away. You will not need to pay registration fees until this occurs. Please note there is no guarantee that spots will become available. While we cannot provide regular updates on whether your child has moved up on the list, you are welcome to call us at (217) 355-5437 for a status update.
-
How can I request a refund?
Refunds must be requested prior to the first day of camp. A 15% service charge will be deducted from all refunds and cancellations. No refunds will be given after the program start date.
