PERSONAL GEAR: Parents, please be sure that your children clean up their PFDs, clothing, towels, bags and other gear and not leave it lying about at the EYC. When the staff arrive each morning, they need to be able to concentrate on teaching, not on cleaning up junior gear.
EYC PICNIC FACILITIES: The EYC is a great place for members to have a family cookout. The EYC provides gas grills, grilling utensils, picnic tables, rest rooms, a great view, a water fountain, swimming, and trash receptacles. Members are reminded to clean up after themselves. Please place all trash in the correct receptacles, turn off the gas grills, wipe off the picnic tables, clean the EYC’s grilling utensils, and do all the other things you would do if you had just grilled in your own back yard.
Thanks for helping to keep the EYC neat and clean!
