Medication

If your child will take medication during camp hours, you and your child’s pediatrician will need to fill out and return the Medication Administration Authorization Form before we will be able to administer any medication. All medication will be safely locked away at camp and travel with campers on all trips. To receive the forms needed, you can call our Main Office or print out a form from our website, www.KidsCoOnline.com.

Trip Shirts

KidsCo will offer a UV protective, “rash guard” style swim shirt. Your child’s swim shirt needs to be worn on Wednesday. These shirts provide heightened visibility as well as a higher level of sun protection for your camper. We have chosen a fun color this summer marked boldly with our KidsCo logo for visibility. Shirts will be given to campers on Wednesday morning of their first session. Remember to wear the shirt on Wednesdays if attending any other sessions. If your child loses or forgets their shirt, a new shirt will need to be purchased. On week 8, campers should also wear their shirt Friday.

Pool/Trip Days

Each Wednesday, our campers will be heading either to Rockville Municipal Swim Center (RMSC) (Pool Day) or on a field trip (Trip Day) within the MD/VA area. (Please see the attached schedule for your child’s trip each week.)

At RMSC (Pool Day), campers enjoy a large free-form recreational pool with a water slide, beach-style entrance, a tot pool with a fountain, and an interactive spray ground with slides, fountains, and a waterfall. On these pool days, KidsCo Day Camps will travel to the pool around 9:45am. Campers will arrive back to camp around or by 3:30pm.

During field trips (Trip Day) campers will enjoy a full day exploring, swimming, splashing, climbing, sliding and/or much more! Campers will depart at 9:00am and arrive back at camp by 3:30pm.

Please be sure to apply sunscreen to your child each day before camp and send an extra supply with them to re-apply during a Pool Day or Trip Day. On all Pool Days & Trip Days, each camper is decked out in KidsCo UV protective, rash guard style water shirts as well as color-coded wristbands for easy and quick identification. Staff members sport bright and visible KidsCo T-shirts and swimwear. You may send money with your child to buy drinks or snacks at the pool or on a field trip. On Friday of week 8, campers will go on an additional trip to the RMSC pool.

Summer School

We offer a summer school before and/or after care program. If you are utilizing this program then you need to register for this program separately from summer camp 2023. Your child can not be enrolled in both programs during week 4, 5, and 6 of camp. There is no care offered on Wednesdays for children enrolled in the summer school before and after care program.

On-The-Run Travel Camps

Drop Off & Pick Up Times

Depending on the destination, drop off times will vary. We ask that all campers be at the site and ready to board the bus or KidsCo vehicle on time. Please refer to the list below to ensure proper drop off and pick up times. In addition, a digital postcard will be emailed weekly containing detailed information for each trip. Please note that some trips will have modified drop off/pick up times.

Where To Meet Each Day

All pick up and drop off locations will be near the welcome booth. Each camper will need to be signed in and out with their On-The-Run counselor at their designated meeting area (campers enrolled in extended care will need to sign in and out at the welcome booth). Extended care is complimentary for all families while attending On-The-Run camps (please sign up for extended care with our Main Office if you plan to utilize this option).

If needed your director will be sending a mass text to all families letting them know the estimated drop-off times from our trips.

Inclement Weather

We will always be “On-The-Run”, but on days when there is extreme inclement weather, we will hit local restaurants, movie theaters, bowling alleys, or participate in other exciting indoor activities. Changes to the On-The-Run schedule because of weather or unforeseen circumstances may occur, we will do our best to notify families, via email or text, if a schedule change occurs.

Our kids will sport an On-The-Run Camp wristband while traveling with the KidsCo phone number on it.

Trips

Our trips are hand chosen to pack as much fun into a day as possible! Water parks, indoor rock climbing, amusement parks, laser tag arenas are just some of the exciting events On-The-Run campers will experience!

Transportation

On-The-Run travels to the coolest destinations. Each bus ride becomes an experience in itself with friends, music, games, and prizes. Ice Breaker Mondays and Trivia Tuesday only add to the fun on the bus. Kids can also choose items such as electronic games, puzzles, and fun magazines out of our cooler of fun. On Wednesday for our longer trips, our On-The-Run campers will ride in a chartered coach bus with air conditioning and a bathroom on board.
