Arrival and Pick Up Procedures
On your first day of camp for the summer, a parent must accompany the camper into camp for drop-off. If registering for multiple campsites, you must accompany your camper on the first day at each location. During pre and post camp all parents must park and escort their camper to the sign-in/out desk.
A Note about Pre Camp and Car Line:
For the safety of our campers, those coming in to pre camp need to be escorted into Prinster Hall by their parent. If campers are not signed up for pre camp, they may not come in to camp until 8:45am when we begin morning car line. If you would like to add pre camp, please just call or email the KV office and it will be taken care of. We would also greatly appreciate if you would let us assist your camper in getting in and out of the car during drop off and pick up. This helps the line move faster and ensures your safety! Thank you!

Pick-up Safety Concern
Just a reminder that regular pick-up starts at 3:30 p.m. If you arrive at 3:15 or later we would ask that you start or move into the car line for pick-up. We want to refrain from campers and parents walking through the traffic areas for everyone’s safety. If there is a concern that you would like speak to one of the director’s about you may pull up out of the traffic flow after your child has been picked up to speak to them. Thank you for keeping Kidventure as safe as possible.
