Drop off and Pick up Procedures

  • Drop off and pick up will be done curbside with parents and guardians remaining in their cars. When you arrive in the drop-off lane, on Walnut Street, a staff member will have you sign-in your child for camp. Your child will then be escorted to the campsite by our staff (updated Health and Safety details can be found below).

  • You will need to bring a photo ID for pick up. 

  • As a reminder, visitors are not permitted on site.

Campers should bring the items listed in a bag or backpack and all items should be labeled with their name.

  • Lunch/snacks (no peanut or tree nut products)
  • Camp appropriate shoes
  • Sunscreen
  • Bathing suit and towel (unless otherwise noted)
  • Water bottle(s)
  • Face mask*
  • Campers should leave electronic devices, money or toys at home.
  • PLEASE NO PHONES!

Health & Safety at Camp

Before leaving for camp, please screen your child while at home for any symptoms of illness and/or a temperature at or above 100.3. For everyone's health and safety, we cannot make exceptions.

*Mask Update as of 7.6.2021

  • Based on the latest guidance provided, campers do not need to wear masks. View our mask policy.
