Before and After Camp Care
We have heard the call of parents for early and late drop-offs. If you are in need for your child to join us early or to stay with us after camp, please let us know as space is limited. Before care times: 7:30 am to 9 am and Aftercare times: 3 pm to 5:30 pm. Before and Aftercare charges will occur for campers being dropped off before 8:45 am and picked up after 3:15 pm. A charge of $5 for every 10” a camper is not picked up started at 5:30 pm. All campers must be picked up by 6 pm.

Before Care:
Members: $5.00; Non-members: $8.00

Aftercare:
Members: $10.00; Non-members: $13.00

Refunds or Transfers
If you need to cancel or transfer to another session, call or email the Education Department as soon as possible. A refund minus a $10 processing fee will be issued if the request is at least 72 hours before the campers session. When possible, we will transfer a camper to another session, although transfer requests cannot be guaranteed.
