This information is available in the Information Packet. This must be read and understood by all camper families.
- Medical Forms – NYS Department of Health mandates that all campers must have a health form on file prior to the first day of camp. Campers will not be allowed to attend camp without the required form (attached). A standard health form from your child’s pediatrician is acceptable. Campers taking any medications must have a completed Authorization for the Administration of Medications form (attached).
- Monday Swim Test – All campers must adhere to our swim test on MONDAY. If a camper does not attend the Monday swim test, they will only be allowed to swim in the shallow end of the pool for the remainder of the week. Any camper attending multiple weeks of camp will only have to take the swim test once per summer.
- Electronics & Cell Phone Policy – We provide an “unplugged” summer camp for both campers and counselors. Campers are not permitted to use electronic devices for personal use during camp hours. Including but not limited to, i-devices, cell phones, gaming devices, tablets, smart watches etc. We kindly ask that these items be left at home or stored away for the day.
- Drop off & Pick up Location – Campers should be dropped off and picked up at the Camp Clubhouse at the back of the property. No pickups or drop-offs occur in the main building/front door. All Campers must be signed in and out by a parent and/or guardian who is responsible for dropping off and picking up the child.
- Approved Pickup – If someone else other than the parent or guardian is picking up your child, then please send in a written note as to who will be picking up your child on a certain day. This individual will need to show ID.
- No Refunds – Once payment has been processed, there are no refunds and no credits for any reason.
- Full Weeks Only – Camp TSR does not offer partial weeks of camp.
- No Makeups – There are no makeups, no credits and no refunds for any reason including a campers inability to attend for a registered week.
- Daly Activities – Campers are provided a number of activities throughout the day and the week. Specific activities are not guaranteed. Daily and weekly activities will vary.
- Before & After Care – Campers for before and after care will be dropped off and picked up at the Camp Clubhouse. Before care starts at 7:00am. After care ends at 6:00pm. Any camper dropped off before 8:50am will be charged for before care. Any camper to be picked up later than 4:10 will be charged for after care. Accommodations for before and after care need to be made in advance to ensure proper staffing. To add before or after care to your camp registration, please email info@taconicracquet.com. Before and after care fees can be found on the “rates” page of this website.
- Lost & Stolen Items – Camp TSR is not responsible for lost or stolen items of any kind for any reason.
- Contagious Illness – If any camper is exhibiting signs of a contagious illness, a parent will be called and the camper will be picked up immediately. The camper will be permitted to return to camp when a doctor’s not with approved clearance is provided. There will be no credits and no refunds for any reason.
- Bad Weather – Camp will meet each day as scheduled, rain or shine. In the event of severe weather or extreme conditions, camp will be held in our indoor facility. Camp schedule and activities will be altered. Decisions to hold activities indoors or outdoors will be made by TSR Management and the Camp Director. Tennis activities may be held on the indoor or outdoor courts at the sole discretion of Camp TSR.
- Camper Behavior – Camp TSR does not provide one to one support. In the case or behaviors exhibited outside of acceptable limits, a parent will be immediately called and the camper will be expelled from camp. Refunds for expelled campers will be subject to a 10% refund fee.
- Packing For Camp – comfortable, well-worn clothing, a hat and athletic shoes should be the norm (please no sandals or “party shoes”). Each child should bring a tennis racquet (we have if needed), backpack with a bag lunch, snack(s), bathing suit, towel, flip-flops or slides for the pool, water bottle and sunscreen. Send extra clothes/rain gear on rainy days and a sweatshirt on chilly mornings. Please do not send your favorite items to camp as campers will be changing and running around all day and items may be misplaced.
- Lunches/Snacks – Children must bring their own bag lunch and snacks to camp each day. Please provide enough for your child to have a snack during the morning and afternoon. Refrigeration is available at camp, but we recommend packing an ice pack with lunch. We strongly suggest that campers bring a water bottle every day! There are drinks and snacks available at the Snack Shack for a fee. We do not allow campers to make cash payments. Campers should not come to camp with cash. Parents/ guardians are able authorize snack plans to be billed to the credit card on file.
- Waiver – Camp TSR is not liable for personal injuries, property damage, or other loss sustained by any person or camper in, on or about the premises. Any camper and parent of campers registered for Camp TSR agrees to this policy.
- Safety – Campers’ health and safety is our top priority. Camp TSR is a Dutchess County Permitted Summer Camp, meeting rigorous requirements for safety. All pool staff are certified lifeguards. Most staff members and counselors are First Aid & CPR certified. Some staff members are Basic Life Support certified. Trained staff members will handle minor injuries. If an injury requires further medical attention, parent/ guardian will be called to pick up the camper. If an emergency occurs, we will call 911 and your child may be sent to the hospital with paramedics.
- Sun Protection – We recommend that campers wear sunscreen every day to camp. Hats are highly recommended. Campers should apply sunscreen prior to camp each morning.
