All participants are expected to behave appropriately at all times while in the care of the Academy of the Holy Names personnel. Any behavior issues will be addressed with the participant, and if deemed necessary, the parent(s) and/or guardian(s). If the inappropriate behavior continues, and the behavior is deemed serious enough by our faculty/staff, we will immediately withdraw the child from the summer program without refund. Parents/guardians will be phoned and expected to pick up the child immediately.

In order to attend camp at AHN, campers are required to be able to visit the bathroom without assistance from a camp counselor. If a camper has three accidents at camp during any length of time, the camper will be asked to return after he/she is able to visit the lavatory without assistance. AHN will not provide a refund for camp fees.

1. Water bottle. Water fountains will not be accessible; however, there is access to bottle-filler stations.
2. Towel, bathing suit (if applicable).
3. Sun block!
4. An extra mask in a Ziploc bag.
5. Snack (Please pay attention to the allergy section of this document when packing snacks.) Please send one snack for the morning and one for the afternoon, if applicable.
6. Lunch (Full-day campers only, if your child is not buying lunch.)
7. Any medications your camper might need during the day. (Please complete the medical forms located in Camp Brain.)
8. Pre-K3 and 4 full-day campers should bring a blanket or towel to rest on and any other item they like for rest time on Monday of each week they attend camp. The items will be sent home each Friday; please clean them if you are returning the following week.

When dressing for camp, please remember that campers will be both inside and outside. Please dress appropriately for the weather.

Any loose items brought to camp should be properly labeled with the camper’s name.

DRESS CODE - GENERAL

Appropriate attire is expected for all participants, respective of their session. The basic attire should be a T-shirt, shorts or pants and sneakers or closed-toed shoes. Participants should not wear short-shorts, midriff shirts or revealing outfits. Camp Jaguar participants must bring swim gear (swimsuit, towel and spray-on sunscreen) daily.

DRESS CODE - SPORTS SESSIONS

All sports participants should be dressed prepared to practice in the respective sport. Participants should wear shorts, a T-shirt and have proper athletic shoes. Tennis players must bring their own racquet and lacrosse players must bring their own stick. For those sessions where the pool will be used, a swimsuit, towel and spray-on sunscreen should be brought daily.

SWIMMING

Although we would like each child prepared to enter the pool immediately when they come to campus, we know that this might not be possible. Ideally, and more specifically for the PK-3 and 4-year-olds, we would like the children to come to camp in their bathing suits with a cover-up and sunscreen already applied. Campers will all need a change of clothes, including undergarments. These items should be in a gallon zip-lock bag with the child’s name on the outside, especially for the young ones (PK 3-4). All clothes, goggles and towels need to be labeled with your child’s name AND grade that they will be entering next year so we can return items to their owner.

Campers will be in the pool roughly one or two times a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon (full-day campers). Please bring the following items each day if your camper is not dressed-and-ready to jump in the pool:

1. Swim suit
2. Towel
3. Sun screen--lots of it! Typically we will keep their sunscreen at camp for the week, labeled with your child’s name, so that we are sure he/she is properly protected.
4. Change of clothes
5. If your child has floaters or any type of assisted swim device, please have him/her bring that on the first day of camp. We can keep that device in the classroom for the week.

Early Bird and Extended Day are provided in the cost of camp; however, we require an RSVP through camp registration. Drop-off for campers not attending Early Bird begins at 8:45 a.m., and the camp day ends at 4:00 p.m. Pick-up for half-day morning sessions, including athletic camps, concludes at 12:30 p.m.

Early Bird hours are Monday-Friday from 7:30-8:45 a.m. Supervision is not offered before 7:30 a.m. Drop-off will take place via the car line. 

• Early Bird sessions will be offered beginning at 7:30 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. Please note, the time frame you choose for Early Bird notes the start time you may drop off for the week.

Extended Day is offered Monday-Friday from 4:15-5:30 p.m.

*Please plan to pick-up promptly. We will charge an additional fee of $1.00 per minute if a child is sitting in Extended Day after 5:30 p.m.

Please direct camp questions or concerns to summercamp@holynamestpa.org. 

After 4:00 p.m., please call 813-839-5371 to reach the after-hours phone.

All parents must sign the Summer on Bayshore Covid Pledge, which states:

While we encourage all families to maintain safe COVID practices during the duration of camp attendance, we also require the following:

Parents must self-screen their child every morning before the start of Summer on Bayshore camps and classes; this includes taking your child’s temperature.  

If your child is exhibiting any of the following symptoms, please keep your child at home: temperature of 100.4 or higher, shortness of breath, persistent cough, loss of taste/smell, headache, difficulty breathing, sore throat, chills, respiratory infection, runny nose(non-allergy), diarrhea, or abnormal muscle or body aches. 

Additionally, if your child is under investigation for COVID-19 (e.g., awaiting test results), your child must stay home until results are known and are negative.

If your child has had any known contact with someone with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 (within 10 days of the start of your child’s specific camp or class), your child must stay home.

If your child has had any known contact with someone awaiting results of a COVID-19 test, your child must stay home until results are known and are negative.

If a household family member tests positive during any point of your camp experience, please contact Summer Camp staff as soon as possible so that we may advise you with your next steps in regard to camp attendance. 

Campers should be dropped off on our athletic campus each morning between 8:30 and 9:00 a.m. (AM camps) or 12:45 and 1:00 p.m. (PM camps). Check-in will take place in the parking garage.

• If you are utilizing Early Bird drop-off (7:30-8:30 a.m.), a representative from our AHN Athletic Camps will walk campers across the bridge each morning at 8:45 a.m. Please note that early bird drop-off does not begin until after 7:30 a.m. and you must RSVP.

Campers should be picked up in the parking garage between 12:00 and 12:30 p.m. (AM camps) or 4:00-4:30 p.m. (PM camps).

DROP-OFF

Drop-off takes place on the West Drive. High school counselors will escort campers from their cars to camp during drop-off each day. Campers arriving for Early Bird will also be dropped off from their car. Parents should not get out of their car at drop-off.

PICK-UP

Similar to the process used during the school year, we will utilize the West Drive. In an effort to help create a fluid and safe pick-up, please follow these procedures for both the 12:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. pick-ups. 

West Drive

The nearest three lanes to the Brady Center are labeled as "Stacking Lanes." The farthest lane is labeled as "Keep this Lane Open." Please adhere to these labels. When you enter campus via MacDill Avenue, pull in as far as you can and fill the three "Stacking Lanes." Please stay in your car and keep moving forward slowly until you are stopped at the "Pick-up Area." The lines look like a crosswalk, and there will be camp personnel there to radio for your child. The "Pick-up Area" is just past the Brady Center, just before you turn to exit onto MacDill. It is very important that we keep the fourth lane (farthest from the Brady Center) open. The moment you come to the pick-up lines, our camp personnel will radio for your child and your child will be walked to your car.

Please note the following important instructions:

Please do not show up early for pick-up. If you show up early, traffic on MacDill will be obstructed and you will be asked to circle the block.

• Pick-up for athletics is 12:00 p.m.
• Pick-up for half day Camp Jaguar and enrichments is 12:00 p.m.
• Afternoon pick-up for all other camps is 4:00 p.m.
• Please stay in your car. We will bring your child to you. This procedure will keep the line moving and make it a safer environment for all involved.
• Please drive slowly and cautiously through all lanes of traffic.

As we are strongly committed to the safety of all, a security guard will be posted to ensure that the important instructions listed above are followed.

ENROLLMENT

Registration is accepted pending space availability in the requested session as there is a maximum number of participants, which varies per sport, session and program. AHN reserves the right to cancel a session and refund payments to participants if the session does not meet the minimum participant requirement.

WITHDRAWAL

Any participant withdrawing prior to May 13, 2022 will be assessed a 25% withdrawal fee. No refunds will be given on or after May 14, 2022.

Participants attending a full-day camp should pack a lunch, drink and two snacks. Full-day campers may also order lunch. All other participants should pack a snack and drink.

SNACKS/ALLERGIES

There are a number of children at Summer on Bayshore with serious peanut allergies. Campers may bring items from home that contain peanuts or tree nuts for their personal lunch. If your child brings in such items, please remind him or her not to share food with anyone. Students who have an allergy to peanut products will not be seated at the same tables as those students who are eating items containing those ingredients. We encourage all snacks to be peanut free.

*If your camper has food allergies, please complete and upload the allergy action forms on Camp Brain.

We will have a location for lost-and-found items. If items are labeled, we will do our best to get them back to the rightful owner. At the end of the summer, all items left behind will be tossed or donated, depending on condition.

Although we would like each child prepared to enter the pool immediately when they arrive on campus, we know that this may not be possible. Ideally, and more specifically for the PK-3 and 4-year-olds, we would like the children to come to camp in their bathing suits with a cover-up and sunscreen already applied. Campers will all need a change of clothes, including undergarments. These items should be in a gallon zip-lock bag with the child’s name on the outside, especially the young ones (PK 3-4). All clothing, goggles and towels need to be labeled with your child’s name AND grade that they will be entering next year so we can return items to their owner if they are lost.

Full-day Camp Jaguar participants will be in the pool twice a day. Please bring the following items each day if your camper is not dressed and ready to jump in the pool:

1. Swim suit
2. Towel
3. Sun screen--lots of it! Typically we will keep sunscreen at camp for the week, labeled with your child’s name, so that we are sure he/she is properly protected.
4. Change of clothes
5. If your child has floaties or any type of assisted swim device, please have him/her bring that on the first day of camp. We can keep that device in the classroom for the week.
