Safety 

  1. Please drive slowly and carefully along Club Road (many campers walk or bike) and in the RYC parking lot. This is vital for the safety of all our children. 
  2. No SUV’s are permitted in first row - little children can be hard to spot from an SUV and this is where they enter/exit camp 
  3. For drop off and pick up - cars will be directed to drive around tennis courts for better and to keep children safe. 
  4. Please notify A.J. or your head counselor with any specific allergies or health / behavioral concerns regarding your child. 

Weather 

Please check website for camp cancellations. An email will also be sent out if camp is cancelled due to rain. Please note, this can be very last minute as weather can change quickly. 

If it becomes rainy during camp, please pick up your child as we have limited covered areas - your child will be brought to a safe area until you pick them up. An email will also be sent.
