Summer 2024 Locations:
Dragon's Eye is at:Durham Community School
654 Hallowell Rd.
Durham, ME 04222
Check-in Notes:
Drop off will take place at the front doors
of the school between 8:45 AM and 9 AM.
Masks are optional.
We ask families to err on the cautious side when a child isn't feeling well -- children should stay home rather than spread colds or the flu to our community.
If you arrive after 9 AM, text 207-350-5926 and staff will come
meet you at the main doors to the building.
Sign Out Notes:
Sign out will also happen at the front doors of the school.
Please make sure the person doing the pickup brings ID. If we haven't met a parent or other adult doing pickup, we will check ID and our authorization list.
Any adults who need to the enter the building to pick up during the day will need to bring their ID as well. Text the staff and we can come meet you at the door.
Detectives who are 12 and over may check themselves (and younger siblings) in and out of the program, if the appropriate permission was signed on the registration form. If you haven't done this for your child, send us an email, so we have your permission in writing! Make sure the child is authorized to sign out their siblings, too, if there are any. This will streamline the pickup procedures.
Covid Requirements:
Please send a mask in your child's backpack, in case there is cause to wear them.
Staff members are fully immunized and boosted from Covid 19.
We will emphasize frequent handwashing.
The program does have masks available, if needed.
Water & Lunch: No peanuts or ground nuts or nut butters, please!
Each child should have a water bottle and lunch.
If your child has special dietary needs, please send a healthful morning and afternoon snack as well. Fresh fruit is available at each snack. Please do not send sodas, candy, or gum.
Sneakers:
Children need sneakers for indoor and outdoor games. A child wearing slippery shoes will miss out on the running portion of games. Throw a pair of sneakers into the backpack, if fashion requires fancy footwear!
In winter, send outdoor gear, just in case the weather cooperates for some snow play.
In summer, sandals like Tevas, with secure ankle straps, covered toes and rubber soles that grip are fine. More fashionable summer footwear is fine, as long as sneakers are present for games.
Flipflops may only be used during waterplay. We require watershoes or flipflops for waterplay on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Sunscreen:
Please send sunscreen every day during the summer.
Put your child's name on the container.
Bug spray may also be included. Again, label the container with your child's name.
I also recommend putting sun screen into a Ziploc bag, to avoid messes in the backpack.
Medications:
Medications require paperwork. The forms are on the Registration & Contact page.
Friday Presentations:
Dragon's Eye used to hold a Friday afternoon presentation for parents and friends.
This year, we will not have those presentations, to minimize risks.
A summary of each week's adventure does go up on the website after each session, so look for those a week or two after each session.
