Two Days Left!!!!

Howdy Circle F Family,

How does it go by so fast. A day can feel like a week, yet, when you come to the end of a session, it seems like everyone just got here.

We have been having a great time over the last few days. Some of the highlights include our Nerd Dance, Islands of Adventure, Build-A-Boat and our normal fantastic activities. Today was our first ever Earth Day. Camper had a chance to build a city from scratch, and to leave a permanent mark on Circle F through native plant landscaping projects. This evening we had a visit from the Reptile Man. The Reptile Man is a local who puts on a wonderful show with Snakes, Turtles, Lizards and even a Crocodile. He talks about the animals and their habitats.

As we come near the end of the second session (sigh), there are some FAQ's that parents normally have:

Q:What day is Pick-UP?
A:Pick up is on SATURDAY July 12.

Q:What time is Pick-Up?
A:Campers will be ready for pick-up by 9:00AM. All campers should be on the road by Noon unless prior arrangements have been made.

Q:When is the Rodeo?
A:The Rodeo is at 10:00AM.

Q:Will my camper be in the Rodeo?
A:The rodeo is open to all campers, however, some campers choose not to participate.

Q:What if my camper wants to stay another session?
A:We do have availability for our 2 remaining sessions. We can arrange for your camper to stay for our next session or to come back for our 3rd or 4th session. There is a 5% discount on you additional session and you also receive a 5% discount on the current session.

Q:How do I sign up for next year? When will you have the dates available? Will the prices go up?
A: I am glad you asked. We have set the camp schedule for 2009 and we will have registration forms available at check-out. If you sign up for Summer 2009 before November 1st with your $500 deposit you will lock in the 2008 rates. You will also receive the early bird discount of 5% off tuition. I highly encourage you to sign up your campers for next summer before November 1st to take advantage of this huge discount.

Q:What is the deal with tipping counselors?
A:We neither discourage or encourage tipping. Our counselors are primarily college students working for money for tuition, books and extra spending money. If you feel the desire to tip your counselors you are allowed to, but it is not expected. Counselors appriciate any type of recognition, and are happy to know that you you, as parents and guardians, appriciate the hard work they have done.

Q:Should I tip the Assistant Director?
A:YES!!! (just kidding)

If you have any questions about pick-up, please feel free to contact us.

Fantastic Wishes,
Roger and the whole gang
