Parents FAQ
Can I register my child for multiple days of their day camp?
You can register your child for as many camps as you would like! There is only one stipulation:
Due to COVID Guidelines, our capacity is currently capped to 30 campers per day. We will keep a waiting list as well in the event that guidelines change. Since we would like to allow every child an opportunity to attend, we will give precedence to campers that are only registered for one day, or for campers who are attending for the first time ever.
In other words, if you have registered your child for every day, and another child who has never attended camp cannot register because there's no more room, we may ask you to give up your spot to the other camper. We want to provide opportunities to as many people as possible!
I work early/late and can't make the pick up/drop off times. Can I still send my child?
If you find yourself in this boat, you have two options:
1. Perhaps there is another family you would like to carpool with! You may want to coordinate with any friends/families within your "extended household" for carpooling to drop offs and pick ups.
2. If you require an alternate pick up/drop off time than what is shown on the day camp schedules, please contact the camp office.
Read these health and safety guidelines for further details on pick up/drop off.
