Outback Beach Day Information Sheet Beach Day Rules

• Stay with the group! • When in the water, don’t go deeper

than your belly button. • Don’t push or pull on friends in the

water. • Put on sunscreen at lunchtime. • Tell a teacher if you need to go to the

bathroom. • When you hear the bell, everyone

comes out of the water! What should kids be wearing when they get to Outback on Beach Days? Children should have on sunscreen, a swimsuit, and their tie-dye Outback T-shirt. Students will get their T-shirts on their first beach day of the summer. Per EEC regulations, Outback will provide all children with a plastic bracelet for each child to wear that includes the program name, emergency numbers on any off-site trips.

Chaperones Every summer we rely on the continued support of parents/caregivers to assist us on our trips. It’s a nice opportunity to take a day off from your regular routine, and for maximum safety and fun, it’s essential for Outback to have additional adult help. If you are interested in accompanying us on a beach trip, complete and return the Chaperone Form, available as a download or at the Sign In/Sign Out.
