Camp Specific Details
Check-in & Check-out:
Drive through will be the primary method for drop off AND pick up for all families Monday - Friday. Please stay in your car in the drive through line and you will be greeted by staff to assist you.
Approach the school from Roberts Ave., then drive through the staff parking lot using the left lane, make a right on McManus Ave. and enter the school loop. Our staff will greet you at your car and walk your camper(s) in and out of camp.
If the staff parking lot is closed (ex: outside regular Check-In & Check-Out windows) you can cut though the Syd Kornenthal Park parking lot to access the McManus Ave entrance. Bring photo ID for check-out.
IMPORTANT: Please do not drive down McManus Ave or make a U-turn at the end of the street. Instead, approach the school from Roberts Ave., one block East.
Extended Care Check-out:
Park and proceed to the iron gate to the left of the school's main entrance on McManus Ave. Call the camp office and a staff member will bring your camper(s) out.
Late Drop-Off or Early Pick-Up:
Please text the camp office using the camp phone number in the Camp Information section with your camper's name, group & ETA (in advance or 10 min prior) to alert them. Once you arrive, please text the camp phone number. Staff will meet you at the main entrance on McManus Ave. Please note that the Echo Horizon doorbell does not reach Camp Galileo.
Camp Parking
Use drive-through for drop-off/pick-up.
