months with a 2

sent via email to EDS-Office@comcast.net or
mailed to EDS, 2589 Boyce Plaza Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15241.
You will receive a confirmation of your change from our

us to make exceptions. We really do purchase materials and
schedule staff over 2 weeks in advance for your child's camp space.

Questions?
Please email us with any questions at EDS-Office@comcast.net. You may also call
our administrative office at (412) 221-1980 with any questions or
concerns.

What to Bring
Daily
(Please put names
on all items brought from home)
1. Plastic
Bag lunch and drink (lunches cannot be refrigerated or heated)
If you have not pre-registered for the camp lunch program and
would like to, please click here
to register via email.
2. Water Bottle:
Please write name in permanent marker.
3. Sunscreen: Please send a bottle of spray
sunscreen only with your child's
name on it on your child's first day of camp. We will keep these bottles for your
child throughout the summer.
Please apply sunscreen to your child at home before he arrives
at camp each day. We will
reapply sunscreen after lunch if necessary. Please let us know if your child is
particularly fair and requires extra sunscreen daily.
Optional items: Please write name in permanent marker
on any item brought from home.
However, we discourage bringing games and toys from home. They are easily lost or misplaced. We cannot be responsible for these
items!
Please DO NOT bring cell phones, bikes, roller
blades, scooters or Heelies.
|
Ice Cream
Mondays!
The
sound of summer! The ice cream
truck will be visiting summer camp every week throughout the
summer. If you would like your
child to purchase a treat, you may sign up in the morning as you sign
in. A $2 charge per treat will
appear on your next statement.
|
Camp Lunches
Each day of the week a
different lunch will be offered at camp. These lunches were detailed on the
registration form and require that you pre-register in order for your child
to participate in them. The
price is $4 per day and the schedule is as follows:
Monday: Pizza
Tuesday: Chicken Strips
Thursday: Pizza
Friday: Hot Dogs
Drinks are included. All lunches except pizza include a
side dish.
If you have not
pre-registered for lunches and would like to, please click here to register via email or
call (412) 221-1980.
Please remember that if your child
is scheduled to go on the field trip on a day of the week where he/she
is scheduled to have a camp lunch, you will not be charged for that day
and you will have to pack your child a plastic bag lunch for the field
trip. (This
does not apply to Wednesday Pool trips. On Wednesdays, we eat
lunch prior to leaving for the pool, so your child may still eat the
camp lunch if you ordered it.)
|
Cooking Classes and Food Allergies
All campers will have the opportunity to take part in some
simple assembly-type cooking classes (i.e. making 'smores, trail
mix, nachos). While we do not include any items that contain nuts
or nut oils, some products may carry a nut warning on the label (i.e.
plain M&M's carry a nut warning because they are made in a factory
where nuts are present)
Therefore, if your child is highly allergic to nuts and
cannot have any products that even have a warning on the label that
they are manufactured in a plant where nuts are present, please let us
know and your child may have another kind of snack while the other
children are eating their creations. Thank you!

|
T-Shirt
Distribution
We realize that many of
you have field trip and/or swim T-shirts at home from past summers.
Therefore, we will not bill for trip T-shirts until the day of the swim
or field trip on which your child will be going. If your child does not have the
appropriate shirt or if he forgets to wear it, he will be given one,
and your account will be charged on the day of the trip.
