Daycare

Palmer Fest has always been a family-friendly event providing daycare during the clinics with your Palmer Fest registration fee. You won’t have to say, “No, we can’t go. What about the kids?”

To ensure we have enough daycare staff, you must indicate on your registration form that you require daycare and for how many kids. Please specify at which times throughout the weekend.

Daycare is available during clinic times only:
  • Saturday 10 a.m. to 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm to 4:00 p.m. at the Paddler Co-op Boathouse
  • Sunday 10 a.m. to 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm to 4:00 p.m. at the Paddler Co-op Boathouse

Daycare Rules:

  • Your child must be at least one year old
  • Please leave diapers, sippy cups, bottles, snacks, favourite stuffed dogs etc, sunscreen, water bottles for them while you are gone
  • You MUST return to retrieve your child immediately after your clinic (this is written here for a good reason)
  • Summer/Fall 2009
  • Early Summer 2009
  • Spring 2009
  • Summer/Fall 2008
