Arrivals and Departures
What are the arrival and pick-up times?
Children registered for daycare may arrive starting at 7:00 a.m. A staff member will be on site to welcome them.
Children registered for camp activities only may arrive starting at 8:45 a.m. They will be directed to their group.
Pick-up begins at 3:45 p.m.
How does drop-off and pick-up work?
Upon arrival, please go to the parking lot on the side of the Centre Multisports André-Chagnon. You’ll find the daycare area marked by yellow barriers.
In good weather, we will greet your child outside.
In bad or uncertain weather, please enter the building through the black doors on the side of the Centre. Then, check in with the daycare supervisor or your child’s coach. Your child can then drop off their belongings in the designated area and join the staff.
Children not registered for daycare should arrive between 8:45 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.
In the evening, children can be picked up between 4:00 p.m. and 4:15 p.m. After that time, they will be directed to daycare. If your child is not registered, a $6.50 fee will be added to your Amilia account.
If your child is allowed to leave on their own (on foot or by bike), please inform our team by email, with a signed note your child can give to their coach, or verbally notify a staff member.
How do you ensure my child leaves with the right person?
To ensure safe pick-up procedures, anyone picking up your child must present themselves to the coach or daycare supervisor and provide the password you selected during registration.
If the person does not know the password, your child will not be allowed to leave with them until we have confirmed their identity with one of the emergency contacts listed on your file.
Besides gym activities, what other activities will my child do at camp?
Outdoor Activities
Our campers visit Aurèle-Joliat Park, Briand Park, and the Jean-Béliveau Street splash pad. All outdoor trips are done on foot and are supervised by camp staff.
Water Activities
Children will not go to the swimming pool, but they will enjoy the splash pad at Jean-Béliveau Park when the weather allows.
Outings
Gymini Day Camp doesn’t need outings to be memorable! We’re confident your child will create lasting memories every single day.
What should I do if my child has allergies, takes medication, or if I need to update their medical information?
Allergies
Some children attending camp this summer have severe allergies to peanuts and other nuts. We ask for your cooperation in not including any nut or peanut products in your child’s snacks or meals.
If your child carries an EpiPen, they must have it on them at all times, and you must inform their group leader on the first day of camp. Please provide a suitable case so it doesn’t get in the way during activities. Make sure your child leaves home and returns from camp with their EpiPen. If it is missing, please speak with a staff member immediately.
Medication
All prescription medications must be handed to the daycare supervisor upon arrival, along with a signed consent form (unless otherwise instructed). Medications will be administered by the camp supervisor according to the prescribed dosage. They will be returned to parents at the end of the day or week, as appropriate.
No medication will be administered without written parental consent.
Updating Medical Information
It is the responsibility of parents or legal guardians to inform the Club of any changes to their child’s health or medical condition. This information is essential to ensure a safe and appropriate environment tailored to each participant’s needs.
