The Summer Challengers Program is a safe, structured place for children going into Kindergarten – 6^th Grade to attendduring the summer and interact with positive adult role models (5 year olds must be entering into Kindergarten & may attend on a trial basis). Our hours are Monday thru Friday 7:00 am to 6:00 pm. Qualified staff provide structured activities in several areas of learning and fun. Scholarships are available so that the program is affordable for everyone. Programs include: indoor-outdoor athletic activities, games room tournaments, arts & crafts projects, computer fun, and educational activities in our Education Center. For more information about our program and our policies and procedures, please pick up a Membership Handbook at the front counter. Reminder, to best serve your child this facility is not a daycare facility; it is intended to provide youth development programs.

Annual Membership Fee

The Annual Membership Fee is a one-time $25.00 fee per child. The Annual Membership period is September – August (1^st day of school year program to last day of summer program). We do not have a sliding membership fee scale for multiple family members. Hours of operation are 7:00 am to 6:00 pm. Scholarships are available for those who qualify. Inquire at the Front Counter.

Summer Challengers Weekly Fee

**Challengers Special** $480.00 for the entire summer and receive 2 weeks FREE!! (must be paid in advance)

Sign-In/Sign-Out

Please remind your child to sign-in on the computer at the front counter when they arrive. This is a helpful tracking tool for parents and staff, but it is the responsibility of the member to carry out. Parents or other ‘authorized adults' must sign Challenger members out each day. Please include other people who are authorized to pick up your child on the registration form. Club members must be picked up and signed out by closing time!! Failure to do so could result in loss of membership.

Lunch & Snack

A well-balanced, free lunch and snack is prepared each day by the Lewiston School District. A Challenger staff picks it up and transports it to the Club each day. To ensure your child will receives a lunch, we need to know by 9:00 am if your child needs a lunch each day. We can not guarantee your child will get a lunch if we are not contacted by 9:00 am. If your child chooses not to eat the provided lunch, they may bring a sack lunch. We ask that you do not send any food items that require our staff or your child to cook, microwave or to prepare at the Club. I.E., Top Ramen, Frozen Food, etc.

Health & Accidents

In the event of an emergency, a staff person will attempt to contact parents using the information on the membership form. Please keep your home, work, and emergency contact information current. In fairness to your child and others, please do not send your child to the Club when he/she is ill. Staff will notify a parent as soon as possible if your child becomes ill while at the Club. If a parent cannot be reached, Club staff will assess the situation and make the necessary decisions for the safety of the child.

The "Outside the Club” Activities will begin at 1:00 pm and end at 3:30 pm. Outside Activities are offered to enhance our Summer Program and are not designed to replace the Clubhouse experience. For a child to be able to attend, payment must be made before 12:00pm on the day of the activity. Outside the Club activities are optional, but highly encouraged. We prefer that you do not pick up your child from special events, but we realize that at times, this may be necessary. Please notify the staff at the Club and the staff at the event site. Outside the Club activities could include: Swimming ($1.50), Skating ($5.00), Bowling ($5.00), Movies ($3.00) and Mini Tours (Free). Activities will be covered by the ColorTyme scholarship for those members who qualify. There will be no refunds or credits given for missed activities. All activities are subject to change.
