Children will have to stay in their age group and participate in the scheduled events the supervisors plan. Two supervisors will be in charge of the children in each group. Children must report to their supervisor with their photo ID when they arrive. Children who do not have their ID will not be allowed to stay. Parents must check in with their child's supervisor when picking up their child. Parents picking up their child must show a pickup card that was issued by the Recreation Department.
