LATE PICK-UP - We suggest arriving between 3:30pm and 4:15pm to pick up your child. If you are more than 5 minutes late picking up your child on a consistent basis (1-2 times per week), your child may be dropped from the program.

Parents should supply a sunscreen product with a minimum SPF 30 for their child’s use. To ensure full and proper application, campers under six years old will be assisted by the counselors when applying sunscreen. Counselors will supervise children over six years old with sunscreen application and will remind the campers to reapply it throughout the day. It is suggested that all sunscreen be applied first thing in the morning and reapplied throughout the day after swimming, sweating or when the initial application naturally wears off. The guidelines on the product should be followed. If your child refuses to reapply sunscreen when asked, you will be contacted and informed that he/she is not cooperating. We want you to feel free to provide a t-shirt/rash guard and/or hat for your child’s added protection.
