Supervision Between Camp Sessions
If you are signing up for two camps during the same week (morning and afternoon) and would like to leave your child at school between the morning afternoon sessions with a lunch brought from home, this program may be helpful to you. For $25, camp administrators will supervise your child, making sure he or she gets to the afternoon session. The bridge usually goes from 10:30 or 11:00 to the start of afternoon sessions at 12:00 or 12:30 pm.  Please note, however, that all camps must have a minimum number of applicants, and some may be cancelled. In the event a camp you were hoping to bridge to is not held, we will refund your supervison fee.

When registering, please just denote the week you want this program after your child's name in the Name box of the registration.
