Drop off and Pick up
Morning
To ease traffic congestion and expedite the drop off process as well as to limit the number of people in the building, you will drop off your child in our valet drop off each morning. Drop is between 8:25 am and 8:50 am. Should you arrive after 8:50, you will need to park and escort your child into the building. The drop off point will be in the half circle where the main entrance is located.
Afternoon
Each afternoon we plan to host pick up at our outdoor play area, please plan to park your car and sign out between 4:15 and 4:30pm. Should you arrive before we transition the children outside please go to your child’s camp room and sign them out. In the event of inclement weather, we will hold pick up in our camp rooms.
Late Pickup Policy & Fees
ECC Summer Adventure Camp ends promptly at 4:30PM and all campers must be signed out of the program by this time unless they are enrolled in ECC Aftercare. We do understand that things come up, so we have a 5-minute courtesy window for sign out. If you are running late, please call the main office at 860-561-8160 so staff can make personal arrangements and we can help your child manage their expectations.
Late Pickup Fees
$10 charge – pickup between 4:35PM – 4:45PM
$20 charge – pickup between 4:45PM – 4:55PM
Families signing out after 4:55PM are subject to removal from the program without refund. Late fees payment must be made at the time of pick up.
There will be no exceptions or warnings. If you are late for ANY reason, there will be a charge. This No Exception policy makes it easier for us to apply the late policy consistently and fairly. If this becomes a frequent problem, we reserve the right to dismiss a family from the program.
What to Bring Daily
- Water bottle - Water fountains are not available but water bottles will be refilled by staff as needed.
- Outdoor/Water Play - Please bring a beach towel, swimsuit, and change of clothes (including socks and shoes) every day.
- Pool Days – Campers will be going to Beachland Park on Tuesday and Fridays. On these days, pickup will take place at Beachland Park. Campers enrolled in aftercare will walk back to the ECC for pickup.
- Dress for the weather - We will be spending time outside every day (weather permitting). Summer weather can be unpredictable, so please dress your child in clothing & shoes appropriate for outdoor play including a raincoat if necessary. Campers should wear (or bring) close-toe shoes or closed-back sandals every day.
- Lunch & 2 Snacks - Please send your child to camp with a lunch and 2 snacks in an insulated lunch box (with an ice pack if needed). We are unable to warm up food or provide refrigeration. Cheese pizza is available for lunch every Friday but you are welcome to send a packed lunch that day.
- WE ARE A NUT FREE ENVIRONMENT! Please do not send any nut products in with your camper’s lunch or snack.
- Sunscreen - Please put sunscreen on your child and send a labeled bottle of sunscreen in daily AS WE WILL BE OUTDOORS FOR ACTIVITES.
- Please clearly label EVERYTHING and inform us of missing items promptly. We are not responsible for missing items but will try hard to reunite you with them.
- Please don’t send electronic devices or cell phones to camp. We can’t guarantee their safety and they are a significant distraction from camp activities. If electronics or phones are causing disruptions at camp, they will be kept in the ECC office where they can be retrieved by the parent. We are not responsible for lost or damaged electronics even if they are in our care in the office.
