**Note: Time of Pick up may vary. Most field trips return to camp at 4pm.
We will post our estimate time of arrival for each outing.
Planned or Scheduled Late Arrivals can be arranged with a written notice
to camp at least one day prior to the foreseen late arrival. In those
situations, Camp Staff will either wait for the late arriving camper or
schedule with that parent/guardian an alternate arrival destination if it is
on a field trip day.
Late Pick-up
Day Camp hours are 7am-5:30pm. Tween LOCO/SCOPE Teen Camp hours
are 9am-4pm. Late pick up is stressful on both staff and children. Camp
ends promptly at 6pm; Tween LOCO/ SCOPE Camp at 4pm. Camp staff
put in a full day of fun but exhausting work, and campers become anxious
about being last at camp, so please arrive in a timely manner.
A late fee of $10 for the first late pick up, $20 for the 2nd late pick up,
and $30 for the 3rd or more late pick up will be strictly enforced after
6pm/4pm. Parents are asked to call if running a few minutes late. This
however does not excuse you from the late fee. Late fees are payable
upon pick-up at the front desk and must be paid prior to student return to
camp.
NOTE: After attempting to contact parents and emergency contacts, if no
one is reached, law enforcement will be contacted after 15 minutes.
