Outside Food and Drink
Some children in our care have highly sensitive food allergies and even the mere contact with a surface that has touched a particular food item can cause an anaphylactic reaction. Any outside food or drink will be discarded immediately unless it has been prearranged with our Center Manager and/or cook .
​
Food Allergies and Substitutions
If your child has been determined by a doctor to be disabled, and the disability would prevent your child from eating the regular meals at the Center, you must have your child’s doctor complete a CACFP Medical Disability Statement that describes the disability and prescribes the alternative foods needed, verifying that special meal components are needed due to a disability. We will then work with clients on a case-by-case basis to make sure their child is receiving nutritionally balanced meals while in our care.
​
The only exception to this is milk. If your child cannot drink cow’s milk due to medical or other special dietary needs but does not have a diagnosed medical disability, you may complete a Request for Fluid Milk Substitution form. Our Center currently provides a USDA approved soy milk alternative that is nutritionally equivalent to cow’s milk. Parents may request to provide other USDA approved lactose-free options at their own expense.
All food allergies will be posted in locations where food is prepared and served.
​
Milk
Children who are 12-24 months old will be served unflavored whole milk. Children two years of age and older will be served unflavored low-fat (1%) or fat-free milk.* Breastmilk is considered an allowable fluid milk of any age.
*Low-fat (1%) or fat-free flavored milk may occasionally be served to children six years of age and older during special events such as field trips. In compliance with new FSN regulations, effective October 1, 2017 only fat-free flavored milk will be served.

Due to reservation limitations at some of our event locations we are not always able to post the full Summer Events schedule for all activities prior to the start of Camp. Clients will be advised of TBD event times and schedule changes (due to inclement weather, etc.) via Facebook and/or email as these issues arise. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.
Want to enroll? Then here are a few things you need to know...
This is a full-time summer camp that takes the place of our Super Stars program during the summer months. Enrollment for Camp starts the first day of CVSD’s spring break, approximately April 1st of each year. Private Pay families will have priority enrollment for the first two weeks. Open enrollment starts mid-April. Due to high demand, families enrolling in this program will be required to sign a contract for the entire summer break.
​
A non-refundable Camp fee of $50 is required to reserve a spot for existing clients.
Clients who are not currently enrolled will also need to pay for their child’s first weeks’ tuition.
ATTENTION WCCC CLIENTS!! Camp fees are not covered by WCCC
