Heat Safety Reminder for Summer Camp
We want every camp day to be fun, safe, and unforgettable. With the warm weather, please remind your students to:
- Stay hydrated — drink plenty of water throughout the day
- Eat healthy to keep their energy up
- Get adequate sleep so their bodies can perform at their best
- Practice their music to reinforce skills and stay prepared
Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and successful summer camp experience for all students.
