A luggage truck for each school will be located in the back part of the parking area behind Hartfield Lanes. Our custodial/maintenance staff will be on site to assist and make sure each piece of luggage is identified with a piece of colored tape to denote the school. Colored tape will be onsite to use. It is unnecessary to provide tape. Please make sure your child’s first and last name is clearly marked on all their luggage. Luggage Drop Off Times: - Angell - 7:15am (Purple)

Reporting to School on Wednesday, March 5th Students will be dropped off at normal entry time at their home school. Please do not drop students off too early. Students will report to their classrooms and await directions from their classroom teachers. Parents are welcome to wait outside until the buses depart for camp. Departing for Camp Buses will arrive at schools around 8:15 am. Students and staff will load onto buses at 8:30 am. Parents are welcome to be outside to say goodbye and send them off in style. Arrival at Camp Storer Our buses will arrive at camp at approximately 10:00 am. A mass email message will be sent from each school to let you know that we arrived safely at camp. Campers will begin to unload their belongings and begin their camp orientation. Departing from Camp on March 7th Students will load onto the buses after lunch at 12:30pm. Campers will arrive back at school at approximately 1:45/2:00 pm. Luggage will leave camp before our students and will be unloaded at each school for parents to pick up. ALL campers will be dropped off at their home school and parents will pick up their child and take them home. Students will not report to school for the remainder of the day. This is also a time to pick up medications that were sent to camp from school staff. Additional Reminders Medication Drop-Off: All buildings will collect medications for camp on: Friday, February 28th, Monday, March 3rd and Tuesday, March 4th Medication can be dropped off at your school’s main office before or after school. We do not want to collect medication on the day of camp as we will be busy getting ready to depart. We appreciate your cooperation. Please remember: - All medications must be in their original bottles.
- All medications must have the dosage indicated.
- Inhalers and EpiPens will be collected prior to camp. Both items will be distributed to your child/cabin counselor at camp. We have purchased special bags for students to use during camp. These items will always be in the vicinity of the student in the event of an emergency.
- Please make sure all names are clearly marked on the medication bottles.
- If you are sending Over the Counter medication please make sure those are clearly marked, as well. Remember, we must follow all dosage recommendations.
CAMP RULES AND PICKUP AUTHORIZATION FORM: Please read through this document and provide the name of anyone who is authorized to pick up your child when they return from camp and provide digital initials that indicate you have read and understand camp rules.
