*Why is morning Extended Day not offered on Mondays during summer camp? As the first day of the camp week is a busy preparation period for camp staff members, we are unable to accommodate early drop-off of campers on Mondays. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Adding Extended Day

Extended Day options are available during the online registration process but may be added at any time. Pre-registration for Extended Day is not required as there is always space available for all registered campers in a given week.

If you have already registered your child for camp, pleaseemail the registration office to add Extended Day options.

Camp Late Fees

Full-day camp ends at 4 p.m.  If you are 10 or more minutes late for pick-up your child will join afternoon Extended Day and you will be charged the regular daily fee.
