For the afternoon sessions, campers may arrive 10-15 minutes prior to the start time which is 1pm. Early drop off and late pick up options are available.
Campers must check in before the start of the camp. A parent or guardian must check their camper in with our staff at our front desk / check in table.
Campers must check out with the front desk / check out table. We will not let campers leave unless a parent or guardian has checked out their camper. If someone other than a parent or guardian will be picking up a camper, it must be communicated during the check in process at the start of camp.
Campers will be provided with bathroom breaks during snack and lunch breaks. Campers will be taken to the bathroom if needed during our scheduled breaks throughout the day. Campers will be supervised at all times. If a camper needs to use the bathroom at a time other than during a scheduled break, a camper will be granted permission and will be supervised at all times.
A physical trainer will be present at each camp we provide. Members of our coaching staff are CPR / AED certified.
