Drop Off/Pick Up Information

ALL CAMPS ON MONDAY MORNING WILL MEET OUTSIDE THE MAIN OFFICE WHERE THE INSTRUCTORS WILL GREET THEIR CAMPERS. This is the entrance off of the parking lot on Hood Road. Monday afternoon and the rest of the week, if your child is participating in a sports camp, should be dropped off and picked up in the back of the school in the athletic parking lot off of Hornets Nest Road. For the campers in non-sports related camps, you will drop off and pick your child up in the parking lot on Hood Road. IMPORTANT: No camper can be dropped off before 8:20. Dropping your child off before that time could result in us asking you not to return for the remainder of the camp. All campers must be picked up at 2:30. We will charge a fee of $5.00 for every 15 minutes you are late picking up your child, and that fee must be paid prior to starting the next day of camp. We do not offer an extended day program at this time, so please plan accordingly.

Items Your Camper Will Need to Bring or Wear

Campers should bring a bag lunch including a drink and any snack they would like Monday-Thursday. Friday lunch will be provided for them. Digital Photography requires that you bring a digital camera and the USB cord for the camera. If you are participating in a sports camp, you should bring a water bottle and a small towel each day. Cleats are not to be worn in the building so please wear sneakers to camp. Clothing should be appropriate for your selected sport camps.
