San Mateo Summer Camps

Check-In & Check-Out Instructions

Drive through will be the primary method of 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.

Please enter the school drive through lane on 36th Ave. and follow signage to the pick up location at the far end of campus. Drive through is ONE WAY and will exit on Ferwood St.
PLEASE NOTE – Expect the Monday drop off to take a bit longer than the rest of the week as our staff will be checking in with each family to ensure we have the most accurate information for their campers.

To keep campers safe, we require a photo ID from an adult on your camper’s authorized pick-up list every day at check out/pick up.

Please note there will be construction on the Abbott campus during the summer. You will likely see this work on the front end of campus, including construction vehicles parked by the drive through entrance, but rest assured our programs take place on the other side of Abbott. We always prioritize camper safety and will modify camp operations as needed to ensure no overlap with the work happening. Camper activities are located on the opposite side of campus from any of the work being done.
We also have a large indoor area available to us in the rare case of excessive noise. If you have any questions or concerns please connect with the Camp Director on site.

Check-In & Check-Out Timing

For safety reasons and in order to maintain appropriate distancing, Check-In and Check-Out will be staggered. Families will check in/out during their assigned window, according to their last name. We ask that families adhere as much as possible to their Check-In window. *If you are responsible for multiple campers in different windows, please use the earlier window to drop off and pick up all campers if possible.
