Sunscreen
Please apply sunscreen to your child in the morning right before heading to MCH. If sunscreen should need to be applied to your child in the afternoon, make sure you have completed the Sunscreen Authorization Form in Transparent Classroom. Sunscreen will be reapplied to Extended Day children before heading back outside in the afternoon. If you would like sunscreen applied to your child before the 11:30 playground time, please let your child's teacher know and we will make sure it gets applied.
If you have not completed a form yet, please email the office and we can email you a copy. Please note that sunscreen must be provided by the parent and the authorization form must be complete in order for us to be able to apply sunscreen for your child. Having aerosol sunscreen bottles is very helpful for ease of application for our staff.

Backpacks
Your camper will use their backpack to bring the following items daily:
- Labeled Water Bottle
- Labeled Lunch Box (with an ice pack)
- Two sets of extra summer clothes labeled with their name and packed in a reusable bag
Snack
Please pack snacks for your campers as well as lunch. Snack is student-driven, and they will be able to access snacks whenever they are feeling hungry. A good rule of thumb to follow is:
- 1 snack for half day campers
- 2 snacks for full day campers
- 3 snacks for extended day campers
Children who Nap
If you have indicated through the enrollment form that your child is a napper, they will have a nap period from 1:00-2:30 daily. If you have an MCH nap blanket please send it with your child. If you are new, we will loan one to your child through the summer. Nap blankets will be sent home on Friday to be laundered and must be returned on Monday.
