Yes. LJCDS follows California law (SB 277) and requires proof of immunizations for all children attending summer camp.

For non-LJCDS and newly accepted families, in the summer programs registration portal, upload your child’s yellow California immunization card or official record with their doctor’s signature and dates of immunizations. Your child will not be allowed to attend camp if we have not received proof of their immunizations.

LJCDS has a registered nurse (RN) and/or an athletic trainer (ATC) on campus from 8 a.m.–4 p.m. In addition, our counselors are trained in CPR and first aid. Counselors in camp programs that travel off-campus for field trips are prepared to assist in EpiPen and medication administration. In the event of a medical emergency, LJCDS medical staff (either ATC or RN) will evaluate and provide emergency medical management, including activation of EMS, as necessary.

LJCDS will call parents/guardians or emergency contacts as soon as possible using the phone numbers on file. All families must provide the camp with a local phone number in the event of an emergency.

Yes. All campers taking prescription medications during Summer at Country Day will need to have a Prescription Medication Administration Release Form filled out in its entirety and signed by a parent/guardian and physician before the start of classes. No medication will be allowed or given at school until this form is submitted, even if the medication was given at school the previous year. Academic school year medications will not transfer over.

Lower and Middle School students who need to take medication at school must have a parent/guardian deliver the medication to the school nurse in the original bottle together with the completed and signed release form on the first day. Upper School students are permitted to deliver the medication and signed form to the nurse themselves.

Students may be permitted to carry their own medications for diabetes (all grades), asthma or an allergy requiring an EpiPen (Grades 5–12). In these instances, the Authorization for Students to Carry a Prescription Inhaler, Epinephrine Auto-Injector, Insulin, Diabetic Supplies or Other Approved Medications Form, must be completed and signed by the physician and a parent/guardian and submitted to the school nurse. Students must be instructed in the proper use of the medication and fully understand how to administer it.

We ask that all devices be put away (unless needed for a camp session) during camp. If your camper has a phone or personal device they are bringing to camp (with your permission and understanding that Summer at Country Day is not responsible for this device), we ask that it be kept in a safe and non-disruptive place.

If your camper uses the device without permission, it will be held in the summer programs office until pickup.

Yes. Extended Day is open from 3:30–5 p.m. (M–Th) and 3:30–4:30 p.m. (F).

Extended Day is open to students in kindergarten–Grade 8 and includes camp activities such as crafts, games and playtime. The cost is $15/hour, and drop-ins are allowed. Families using this service are billed at the end of the week. 

Students may also bring their own lunches. Please clearly mark names on lunch containers. All campers should bring their own reusable water bottle; refilling stations are available throughout campus. Please email summerprograms@ljcds.org with dietary restrictions.
