  • Drop off & Pick-up:  Drop-off  and pick-up  times vary with each camp, check the schedule for your camp and  please pick your child up promptly at the scheduled time given.  A detailed agenda for the week will be mailed closer to camp start date.  

  • Lunch:  For full-day camps, each child should  bring a lunch  of non-perishable food with his/her  name on it. Snacks are provided (Please let us know if your child has any food  allergies. We want to avoid offering the wrong food for snack).  No refrigeration is available.
