Transportation
Car-pools:
Most of the children arrive to camp via personal or car pool transportation. We have instituted
the following procedures for drop-off and pick-up, to ensure the safety of our children.
Drop-off time will be between 9:00 AM - 9:15 AM. Drive up slowly to the front of the building
and come to a complete stop. Staff members will be on hand to escort your child/ren into the
building to their proper meeting place.
Please note, that this is not the time to engage the staff in the discussion. If you need to
discuss something with the head of staff, then, after you drop off your child/ren, you will be
directed to a special parking area.
After 9:15 AM, counselors will not be waiting outside to escort your child/ren. For late arrivals please park your car and then bring your child/ren to the main office.
Pick-up time is 3:00 PM - 3:25 PM. Drive slowly into the parking lot, and pull up to the door.
Early Pick-up
Please inform your division head counselor in advance if you need to pick up your child/ren early. Authorization must be provided in writing if someone other than a parent is doing the pick-up. When you arrive at camp for early pick-up, please report to the office first. A staff member will bring your child to the office.
Communications with Camp
If you need to send a note to camp with special instructions or requests, please make sure to
call 917 - 913 -7759 or email mbmonsey@gmail.com
DO NOT rely solely on sending a note with your child. Many times children forget to mention
that they have a note with them.
We are always interested in hearing your comments and concerns regarding camp. Please do
not hesitate to call us, we are trying our best to do all that we can for your child/ren, but we
need your direct input, and welcome all suggestions.
Clothing
All personal items that are going to be brought to camp should be clearly labeled
with the camper’s name. This includes all clothing, socks, and undergarments. The
camp cannot be held accountable for lost or misplaced items. A lost and found box will be
maintained in the camp office. For the pool, please bring the following items: 1 bathing suit,
towel, beach robe or terry jacket, bathing slippers or crocs (closed-toe), and a bottle of Sunscreen.
All regular division campers will be provided with a bathing cap that is either red or green, red
for the non-swimmers, and green for the swimmers. Children will be provided with the bathing
camp for free the first time but if it is lost they will need to purchase a new one for $5. No
children will be allowed to swim without their bathing caps on.
For Pre1A/Nursery/UPK campers: In addition to the above-mentioned items, these campers
should bring clearly labeled: A complete change of clothing, a complete change of
