7. Do I need to check in on the first day of camp?

Yes, on the first day of camp all campers should arrive with their parent or guardian at 8:30 AM to check in. At check in we will confirm your registration and distribute any necessary equipment. At 9:00 AM there will be a welcome address conducted by the Camp Director, Tim O’Donohue which will cover some important camp information. 

After the first day campers should arrive 15 minutes prior to the camp start time so that they are ready to start the session on time.

8. Is there a set check in and check out location and procedure?

Yes. Campers should meet at the big “S” in the center of Debaun Athletic Field each morning. At the conclusion of camp each day, we play a game called “Coaches vs. Campers” and then we dismiss the campers.   Please wait until after the game to sign out your son or daughter with his or her camp coach.

9. What do I do if I need to pick up my child early or if I want my son or daughter to walk home after camp?

Please notify your child's coach at morning drop-off that your son or daughter will be leaving early or walking home. A note must be provided!

*Additionally, if someone other than the parent or guardian will be picking your child, the parent or guardian must provide a signed note with the full name of the person authorized to pick up your child. The note should be given to your child’s coach on the morning of the pick-up. Authorized individuals will need to present identification to your child’s coach before your child will be released from camp.   Please be aware that our staff will not allow any child to be picked up by someone that the child does not recognize.
