Â
Lunch/Snack/Water
Send 1 lunch and 2 snacks daily, along with a refillable water bottle. Due to allergies, please send nut-free choices.
Lunch may occur at various shaded spaces throughout the park, so please be sure no refrigeration or heating is required.
DROP OFF/PICK UP
Camp is from 8:30 am – 3:30 pm
Drop off is at the double gates on the west end of the parking lot. An adult must sign in your camper each morning with the counselors.
Pick up will be next to the main fountain, at the door in the back right. A photo ID is required for pick up. We must be notified in advance of anyone picking up a camper who is not on the approved emergency pick up list. Campers picked up after their designated pick-up time will incur a $15 late fee.
Extended care is available (pre-registration required) beginning at 7:30 am and until 5:30 pm

Camp is an outdoor activity with breaks in shaded and indoor areas.
