MATCHPOINT NYC SUMMER PROGRAM PARENT HANDBOOK & POLICIES

MatchPoint NYC Summer Day Program 2025

A Safe, Active & Unforgettable Experience for Your Child!

Welcome to MatchPoint NYC’s Summer Day program — where fun meets structure in a safe, encouraging, and high-energy environment. Our programs are thoughtfully designed to keep kids active, engaged, and learning all summer long through a variety of exciting sports and recreational activities.

Parent Information Center

Please review the MatchPoint NYC Summer Camp Parent Handbook & Policies thoroughly before your child begins their camp experience.

Important: Fill out and return the “Emergency Contact Form” found on the last page of the handbook. Be sure to include all relevant medical needs, allergies, and required signatures.

Emergency Procedures

Your child’s safety is our top priority.

– Parents will be contacted immediately in the event of a serious injury.

– First aid will be administered on-site for minor injuries.

– For emergencies, we may call for outside medical assistance if needed.

– An up-to-date emergency contact number for both the parent/guardian and an alternate adult is required.

– Parents will be informed of any unusual incidents or behavior at pickup time or via a written report if necessary.

Behavior Expectations

We believe every camper contributes to a positive camp experience.

We ask campers to:

– Take responsibility for their actions

– Show respect for themselves, others, staff, and our environment

– Be honest in their interactions

– Practice kindness and caring toward others

Discipline Policy

Our discipline approach is proactive, respectful, and supportive.

Steps include:

Gentle redirection toward appropriate behavior
Reminder of rules and guidance to choose better actions
Documentation of continued issues and parent notification
Parent meeting and development of an action plan
Suspension or expulsion, if issues persist or are severe

Immediate dismissal may result from physical violence or threats to the safety of others.

Illness & Medication Policies

– Children appearing ill may not attend camp.

– Notify us if your child will miss camp or is feeling unwell.

– If your child becomes sick during the day, you will be contacted to arrange pickup.

– Medications (including sunscreen, ointments, or supplements) must be provided in original containers with written permission.

Weather Policy

Rain or shine — we play!

Outdoor activities will be moved indoors when needed. On hot days, campers are kept hydrated and monitored closely.
