| A: | The official camp day:
- Campers entering Pre-K 9am-2:30pm (after-care options available)

- Early drop off is from 8:15-9am. It is included in the cost of camp. Most campers typically arrive between 8:30-9am.
- The 30 minutes between the end of the day and after-care are set aside for pick-up, rather than participating in activities.

| A: | 3.5 years old (or entering Pre-K4) to 12 years old (or entering 7th grade). We welcome campers entering Pre-K4 in the Fall that are potty trained and able to communicate effectively with counselors.

- Campers 8-13 years old: 1:12
*For off site field trips, the ratio is always 1:5.
|
| Q: | Can my child be in a group with a friend? |
| A: | Yes! Campers must be entering the same grade. We ask that each family fill out the “Friend Request” area during registration. We will always do our best to accommodate friend requests, but can not guarantee campers will always be placed in groups with their friends.
|

| Q: | What do children eat for lunch at camp? |
| A: | Families are responsible for packing snacks and lunch each day. We are a nut-free camp!
|
| Q: | Can I visit my child at camp? |
| A: | Parents/guardians are not able to be on site throughout the camp day. While we appreciate our campers’ loved ones wanting to stop by, only campers will be allowed in the building.

Camp Directors and Assistant Directors are available to answer questions during drop-off and pick-up.
