Registration

Please fill out the appropriate Registration/Consent Form located after the camp descriptions. Please make certain your camper’s age fits within the age/grade-level range listed in the camp description. Feel free to copy for multiple camps/campers. There is limited enrollment in each camp, so please register early.

 

General Facility Policies

Parent or acting guardian must accompany and supervise children under the age of sixteen (16) while checking in within Pirtle Technology building.

 

What to Bring
  • Please provide a healthy snack and drink each day.
  • Provide a sack lunch if electing the Supervised Lunch option (pre-registration required).

 

Supervised Lunch

A supervised lunch hour is provided from noon to 1 p.m. for those campers who are registered for a morning (9 a.m.-noon) camp session and an afternoon session (1-4 p.m.). This option requires pre-registration. Please bring a sack lunch as no food service is provided. Students will be escorted to their next camp session.

 

Transportation

Parents are asked to provide daily transportation for students attending camps and daily walk students inside the facility. Please pick students up promptly.

 

Internet Usage

Our programs sometimes offer Internet service to our participants. Part of our responsibility in preparing participants for the future is to provide them access to the tools they will be using as adults. With this opportunity comes responsibility. Use of the Internet is a privilege, NOT a right.

Examples of Internet infractions that may be assigned consequences include but are not limited to:

  • Playing of games unrelated to the scheduled activity;
  • Viewing inappropriate websites

 

Tobacco, Alcohol and Drugs

Tobacco products in any form are not permitted on the main TJC campus or any other TJC site. This includes parking lots and any owned, leased or rented property of TJC. Illegal drugs and/or misuse of other drugs is NOT ALLOWED at any TJC location. Alcohol is NOT ALLOWED to be brought onto or consumed at any TJC location.
