What if my camper needs an early pick-up from camp?
If you need to pick up your camper in lieu of taking the bus home please notify the camp in writing, in advance, by email, fax or backpack note. Please note the name(s) of the camper(s), date and time of pick up. For safety and security all early pick ups must be before 3:30 pm. When you arrive, please stop for the security guard at the bottom of the driveway. Please have your driver’s license available as the security guard will ask you for identification before calling the camp office to confirm that a pick up for the camper has been pre-arranged. We may ask for identification again as you sign out your camper, so please have your ID handy. To ensure the safety of your child, any camper leaving with someone other than a parent or guardian is required to bring a written note stating the time of dismissal, and the name and phone number of the person picking up the camper. The note should be signed by the parent/guardian and handed in no later than that morning. If you are picking your camper up due to an illness we will notify security of the pick up and you will follow the same procedure upon arrival to the camp as above.
