Before Camps/Classes Begin

  • Register for camps/classes.
  • Sign the Consent, Waiver, Release, and Assumption of Risk form for each of your campers. You must submit one form for each student.
  • Sign the Media Release Form for all your students.
  • If you wish to have your student(s) transport themselves home (biking, walking, driving, etc), fill out the SUU YEA Consent Form for Self Transportation.

Drop Off

Please bring your student to the General Classroom Building, 152 South 300 West. YEA/PREP staff will be checking in students in front of the building.

  • First Day: Arrive 20-30 minutes before the scheduled start time. Please accompany your student to check-in in case staff need to speak with you.
  • Other Days: Arrive 10-15 minutes before the scheduled start time. You may drop your student off at check-in; you do not need to walk them in.

Pick Up

Return to the General Classroom Building, 152 South 300 West. YEA/PREP staff will be checking students out in front of the building.

  • Please remain in your vehicle.
  • A staff member will come to your car and ask for your student's Pick Up Code (see below).
  • Provide the code(s) for the student(s) you are picking up.
  • Once the code is verified, staff will radio your student's teacher, who will send your student out to your vehicle.

Pick Up Codes

Student safety is our top priority. Each student will receive a unique four- or five-digit Pick Up Code. This code is required to pick up your student.

  • If someone else will be picking up your student, you may share the code with them.
  • Students will only be released to individuals who provide the correct code.

Late Arrival

If your student is late, please bring them to YEA/PREP Headquarters in General Classroom 110 (GC 110). The director or a YEA/PREP staff member will take them to camp/class.

Early Check Out

If your student needs to check out early, please email us at stemsummercamps@suu.edu at least 24 hours in advance. If this is not possible, call 435-586-5434 before you arrive. Come to YEA/PREP Headquarters in GC 110. A staff member will bring your student to Headquarters, where you will sign them out with the student's pick up code.

Checking Out and Back In for Appointments

If your student needs to leave during the day for an appointment, please email us at stemsummercamps@suu.edu at least 24 hours in advance. If this is not possible, call 435-586-5434 before you arrive. Come to YEA/PREP Headquarters in GC 110. A staff member will bring your student to Headquarters, where you will sign them out with the student's pick up code.

Bring your student to Headquarters to check them back in. A staff member will return them to camp/class.

Self-transportation

For safety reasons, students may only check themselves out if we have written consent from a parent or guardian. Staff will not release a camper to travel home without an authorized adult unless the signed consent form is on file.

If you would like your student to transport themselves after check out, please email stemsummercamps@suu.edu at least one week prior to the start of camps/classes.

Medications

YEA/PREP staff are not permitted to administer medications to students. If your child requires an emergency medication, such as an epi-pen or inhaler, please email stemsummercamps@suu.edu at least one week before the start of camp. Together, we will make arrangements to ensure your student has access to their medication in case of an emergency.

Allergies & Dietary Restrictions

SUU YEA can make accommodations for allergies and dietary restrictions with sufficient notice. If you did not report your student's allergies or dietary restrictions during registration, please email the information to stemsummercamps@suu.edu at least one week prior to camp/class.

Please be aware that students may choose to bring snacks or lunches from home. While we encourage students not to share food, we cannot guarantee this will not occur. YEA/PREP is not responsible for allergic reactions caused by food or snacks shared between students.

If an allergic reaction does occur, our staff will respond immediately to ensure your child receives the help they need, including contacting emergency services if necessary.

Other Needs

If your student has other needs you would like us to be aware of, please email stemsummercamps@suu.edu at least one week prior to the start of camp/class.

What to Bring

  • A water bottle with the student's name on it
  • A light jacket, if the weather is cold or wet
  • If the student is self-transporting, bikes, skateboards, scooters, rollerblades, hoverboards, and similar items are allowed. Upon arrival, these items must be parked in YEA/PREP Headquarters (GC 110) during check-in and will be available for pickup at check-out.
