Drop-off time for Jr. Day Camp time is 9:30 AM.  Please read and adhere to the following procedures so that we may cut down on the traffic congestion.  Parents are welcome to park and walk over with your camper the first day your child attends camp, however, parking space is limited.  Camp will end promptly at 2:30 PM. Counselors will help the campers out of the cars on the passenger side of the vehicle. Campers will proceed to their designated areas, where they will gather with their counselor.  On the first day of each session, staff members will have master group lists to help identify your camper’s group.

Departure: Jr. Day Camp pick-up time is 2:30 PM. Staff will help your children into the car. Again, PLEASE remain in your cars. If you do need to get out of your car to come in to the office or speak to a staff member, please park in the parking lot

Before and After Care: Our before and after care is organized through Orange Schools through their Open Door programs. Campers going to Open Door before camp will be picked up on time to be at camp at 9:30 AM. Campers going to Open Door after camp will be dropped off at Orange Schools after the conclusion of the camp day. No campers are able to stay at camp after 2:30 PM.

Swimming: Each camper needs to bring a suit and towel daily.  If there are specific conditions under which your child cannot swim, please inform the camp office. All swim time at our pool is recreational and not instructional. Campers are required to take a swim test on the first day of each session to determine their swimming ability. Our pool has lifeguards and our waterfront director on deck whenever campers are present.

Photographs: We are offering 5x7 color prints of your child's group.  Payments for photographs must be received on or before the first day of each session. Pictures ordered on the day of pictures or later will be at an increased price.

Camp Store: Campers go to the camp store on Mondays, Wednesdays and Friday. On these days, campers may purchase one ice cream and/or one drink.  On the last Wednesday of each session campers may buy T-shirts and souvenirs. Camp store money must be deposited into the camper’s account prior to their visit.  DO NOT SEND MONEY WITH YOUR CAMPER. Cash will not be accepted at the camp store.  You will be notified of any balance in your child's account at the end of the summer and it can be refunded.
