NO NUTS!
Absolutely no peanuts, tree nuts, or shellfish are allowed in TNCS due to severe student allergies.
Additional Authorized Pick-up

Absences, Late Arrivals, and Early Pick-ups
To report absences, late drop-offs, or early pick-ups, please fill out the online reporting form.
Clothing and Footwear
Your child should dress in comfortable seasonally appropriate clothing for camp. Note that shorts are required under dresses.
NO OPEN-TOED FOOTWEAR!
For safety reasons, open-toed shoes, flip-flops, and sandals are NOT permitted.
Cell Phone Policy
Children are not permitted to use cell phones or electronic devices while at camp. Unauthorized cell phone use may result in the device being taken away and safely stored. Devices will be returned to the child only upon their departure from campus.
Adding Extended Care
If you have not registered for weekly Extended Care and would like to add it for any particular week, please sign in to your CampDoc account.
Preschool Water Play Fridays
Children in Primary Fun Camp have the opportunity to enjoy water play most Fridays in summer. Campers should arrive in swimsuits or clothes that can get wet and bring a towel and complete change of clothes in a zip-top bag. Please remember to label all items with first and last name.
Water Play may not happen because of inclement weather or special events. Notifications are sent to families on on Thursdays when we know that Water Play will not take place the following day.
Wellness at TNCS
The health and safety of our students and staff is our top priority. TNCS has a multi-prong approach to support wellness and prevent disease transmission including optional mask wearing for students and staff, routine hand washing, continuous air exchange, and self-reporting. TNCS stays up to date on guidelines and recommendations from the CDC, Maryland Department of Health, MSDE, and the Maryland Office of Child Care (OCC).
