CAMP AGE RANGES
Camps are developed around the skills and abilities characteristic of the age ranges indicated. We strongly recommend placing your child in the appropriate age category. Depending upon your child’s social, emotional and intellectual maturity and the particular activities in a given camp, he or she may fit into a camp with an age range outside his or her actual age. To ensure your child has the best possible experience, please use judgment when registering your child outside a suggested camp age range.

OLDER YOUTH VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! (13+)
Do you have a child who has outgrown camp? Consider sending them to camp as a volunteer! Contact us for information on camps where volunteers are needed or to sign your youth up to volunteer (608) 221-0404 x.2 or education@naturenet.com.

BUG SPRAY DONATIONS
Last summer saw a record high for mosquitoes and other biting insects. We are asking parents to consider donating bug spray for use by summer campers and after school program youth. See the donation box at summer camp registration, or stop in the office 9 am – 4 pm Monday through Friday.

MEDICAL FORM
ALNC requires a medical form for all children not accompanied by a parent or guardian to summer camps. Children ages 4 and up may be dropped off for summer programs, children 3 and under must be accompanied by an adult. A medical form will be emailed to you with your confirmation letter prior to your first summer camp program.  You may also print a copy of the 2009 Medical form and mail, fax, or bring it in on your first day of camp.
If your child has any severe allergies or other medical needs that may need advance planning by our staff, please contact us or fax your medical form in at least one week prior to the start of camp.
