Nature’s Calling will make every effort to notify parents (by email, telephone, text) as soon as possible so alternate arrangements for their child can be made. Attendance Policy (sick/flex days) Norfolk Forest School understands that there will be days that a child may not be able to participate in forest school due to illness or other commitments. To accommodate for such circumstances, each registered participant is entitled up to 3 sick days/term in which the daily fee will be waived. Once a participant has reached the 3 sick days, the regular daily fee will apply. If a child attends 3 days a week they are eligible for 1 sick day, if a child attends 2 days a week they are eligible for 2 sick day2, if a child attends 3 or more days a week they are eligible for 3 sick days. NOTE: Sick/flex days are not transferable to subsequent terms. If a child is absent for any other reason refunds will not be issued for days absent. In the case that a child must withdraw from the Norfolk Forest School program for a legitimate reason (health, moving away, etc.), a 50% refund for remaining unused days will be issued. Assumption of Risk and Consent I, the undersigned Parent / Guardian of Child's name * do hereby consent to her/his participation in the Eco-Explorer Summer Day Camp. I understand that the camp occurs in a mainly outdoor environment. I understand all program daily commencement and completion times. I also understand that I must be timely in my drop off and pick-up of my child. I am aware that there are potential risks and hazards associated with my child’s participation in NCEE programs. I understand that the hazards include, but are not limited to: Outdoor Classroom: Navigation in unfamiliar territory; slips, trips or falls; trees and other natural objects. Indoor Classroom: electrical cords; equipment, impact with chairs or other potential obstructions. Allergic Reactions: allergic reactions resulting from contact with cultivated or wild plants; food or drinks; spider, tick or insect bites. Physical Activities: bumps, collisions, falling, tripping, bruises, broken bones, sprains, eye injuries; failure to play safely within one’s own ability. Weather: changing weather conditions; wet weather; snowy weather; the effects of heat or strong sunlight. Other Hazards: the possibility that my child, or others do not heed safety instructions or restrictions given to them. I acknowledge that accidents may occur during my child’s participation in NCEE programs and can occur without fault on either the part of my child or NCEE staff. I am aware that NCEE will take all necessary safety precautions and will attempt to minimize any risks associated with program activities. Accidents however, may cause loss of personal property, injury or even death. I understand that my child is expected to be respectful and considerate to other participants and NCEE staff, and must adhere to the rules with regard to student behaviour as set out above. I further understand that inappropriate behaviour on the part of my child may result in her/his removal from Norfolk Forest School and that I will not receive any refund of fees. To ensure the safety of all summer camp program participants: physical violence, harassment, bullying or foul language will not be tolerated. Parents/guardians will be notified if their child’s behaviour is inappropriate. If such inappropriate behaviour continues, NCEE reserves the right to remove the child from the Program and to refuse any further participation. No money will be refunded. I understand that my child will be solely responsible for her/his personal property and effects during Norfolk Forest School and acknowledge that it is recommended that valuable items are not brought on to the property. I release Nature’s Calling Environmental Education and their staff / volunteers from any claim arising from such risks. If at any time emergency medical treatment is necessary for my child, I give consent for treatment to be given. Every effort will be made to contact parent/ guardian(s) and/or emergency contacts. Note: In the event of a serious illness or injury, your child will be sent to Simcoe General Hospital. I/We, agree with, and support the rules and guidelines set out in Nature’s Calling Environmental Education’s Policies and Procedures Parent Handbook and their Covid-19 Guidelines document. I/We understand and support the decision to not wear masks and that NCEE educators will not strictly enforce physical distancing. I consent to my child’s photo being taken using photograph or video. I further understand and authorize that pictures taken at camp may be used for promotion (i.e. social media, print media, NCEE publications and website, and other forms for advertising and promotion).
