SAFETY:

• Wear a name tag, NorthField "Green" shirt, Orange "NF Kids" shirt, or VBS shirt each night! It's essential to know who is supposed to be on campus.
  • If you do not have any of these or purchased a VBS shirt, they will be available Sunday morning in the NF Kids hall or Sunday night at the "Im In" station. 
• Background checks are required for all volunteers - if you received one, please fill it out immediately.
• Do not be alone with any kids at any point throughout the week. If you need to assist in the bathroom or visit the sensory room, ask a floater or someone from our safety response team to wait in the doorway. 
• At Check-In and Pick-Up, our top priority is to have name tags match parents' tags. Please make sure every kid has a name tag. 
  • Kids with a name tag also helps you know their names quicker!
• In an emergency, follow instructions from staff or the safety response team!
• If you experience ANY behavioral issues, please notify the NF Kids team immediately! You are here to have fun.
