ECC Summer Adventure Camp

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.

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.
