Please arrive no later than five minutes after the end of the Camp session to pick up your child. Before your child may leave, he or she needs to "check out" with the designated staff member. If your child is not yet outside at the end of the session, you may come inside the Camp location. There will not be staff available to watch your child after 10 minutes after the end of Camp; please notify us if there an emergency and you cannot arrive on time. Also, if someone other than yourself is picking up your child, send a permission note with the details beforehand.

Please check your e-mail on the Saturday before Camp and on every evening after Camp. We will send updates, links to photos, and any other information that you might need to know.

What To Wear
Children should have sunscreen applied and wear comfortable clothing that can get dirty. We will distribute Camp T-shirts at the end of Monday's Camp session. Campers are not required to wear Camp T-shirts during Camp.

What To Bring
Please leave all toys, electronic devices, and valuables at home. If your child has an artifact from one of the featured countries/cultures that he or she would like to bring to show, please contact a Camp director beforehand. Kids and Cultures and the host location are not responsible for lost or stolen items.

You do not need to send a water bottle. This facility has a water fountain near the meeting room; we will take frequent drinking breaks throughout the Camp session.
