Important: On field trip days, drop-offs are not allowed between 8:45 AM and 4:00 PM. Pick-Up (4:00 – 5:30 PM) If picking up before 4:00 PM, allow extra time as campers may be in different areas of campus. Campers must be picked up by 5:30 PM. A late fee of $2 per minute, per child applies after 5:30 PM. Three late pickups = withdrawal from camp for the summer.

Just call or text the camp phone ahead of time! Camp Staff & Safety Your camper will be in great hands! Each group will have two dedicated Summer Camp teachers who will be with them all summer.
