** Please dress your child in loose-fitting, comfortable clothes and in RUNNING SHOES, for active play and to ensure safety. All children should have hats and sunscreen already on before getting to the playground site, and in their backpacks as we are frequently outdoors.
** Please keep in mind that the child will be taking part in messy activities most days (water, paint, glue, etc.). Please send your child to camp prepared to participate in these activities. The water days are slotted into the calendar but occasionally, when the weather gets too hot, the leaders decide to play water games to cool off.
** Please notify the coordinator and all of the leaders of any allergies your child may have and any special direction pertaining to the allergy (dietary requests, epi-pen, administration of medication, etc.). It is up to the parent to ensure the child’s safety by informing leaders in the case of an allergy.

** If your child will be absent from the summer camp, please email rhythmandbluescambridge@gmail.com before the program begins to notify us of your child’s absence.
