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

Yes. All students taking prescription medications during summer program hours will need to have a Prescription Medication Administration Release Form filled out in its entirety 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 signed form above on the first day. Upper School students are permitted to deliver the medication and signed form to the nurse themselves.

Students in Grades 6 and under are not allowed to carry any medications unless the Authorization Form for Prescription Inhaler, Diabetic Supplies and more is submitted to the school nurse. Grades 7–12 students are allowed to carry medications as long as the Prescription Medication Administration Release Form has been completed and submitted. 

No matter how many precautions we take, accidents can happen. During our summer program, we have a registered nurse and athletic trainer on campus from 8 a.m.–5:30 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 also trained in the use of EpiPen and medication administration. All serious injuries are directed immediately to the camp nurse. The nurse will triage incidents and arrange for emergency transport, if 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.

Grades 1–12 drop-off and pickup take place in the Genesee Avenue parking lot located at 9490 Genesee Avenue, La Jolla, CA 92037. Check-in at the table on the first day. Upper School students can check themselves in, and if they drive, there is designated student parking in the Genesee lot. Check with security, and they will direct you. 

Yes. Extended Day is 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 for drop-ins. Families using this service will simply be billed at the end of the week. If you know ahead of time that your child needs to stay late, we encourage you to sign up when you register for camp to receive our discounted rate of $90 for the week (7 hours of Extended Day). 

Yes. A boxed lunch from SAGE Dining Services® is offered for all kindergarten–Grade 12 students participating in both morning and afternoon sessions. The lunch break is from 11:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. SAGE does not serve peanuts or tree nuts. They do not serve products that “may contain,” “are made in the same facility as,” are “made on shared equipment,” or “processed in a facility that also processes” peanuts or tree nuts, unless they are able to verify that these products are truly safe. Dietary restrictions will be honored. 

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 indicate your child’s food allergy on the application form. If your child’s allergies are airborne or otherwise severe, we can provide a separate lunch table. Bring any and all emergency medications in the original container before the start of the camp in a labeled bag with the allergy action form. Parents/guardians are required to bring the medication and the form to the nurse on the first day of the session. Please do not send medication in your child’s bag.

Snacks are provided at the Early Childhood Center Summer of Wonder program. All of our snacks are peanut and tree-nut-free. If your child has an allergy or food sensitivity besides nut allergies, we are happy to work with you to make reasonable accommodations for your child.
