additional information
Morning Arrival at Camp
Each morning, we will gather in the courtyard next to the main parking lot off Steck Avenue. You must sign your child in with a staff member each morning. We will have staffers at the courtyard gates ready to sign campers in as they arrive. You may utilize the drop off line or you may park and walk your child in. Do NOT leave your child at camp without having signed them in.
Afternoon Pickup from Camp
At 3:30 each day we will again gather in the courtyard to prepare for dismissal. Please park and walk in to get your child. Do NOT take your child from camp without signing them out. We will not allow campers to walk unescorted through the parking lot to your car, not even the 6th through 9th graders.
Late Arrivals or Early Departures
If your child will be arriving late or leaving from camp early, please check them in and sign them out with one of the camp directors in the appropriate class area. You may need to enter the high school through the front doors, which face Mesa Drive. If your child is in 3rd through 5th grade, their classes are held in the Science Wing. 6th through 9th graders have classes in the Applied Technology Center.
Absences
Please let us know if your youth will be absent from a camp day. Please see the office contact information above.
Parents Night
Each week we will host a parent's night at the end of the camp. We welcome you to come and see what your youth has been doing all week at camp. Plan to arrive at 3:30pm on Friday and we will be finished by 4:30pm.
