MORNING DROP OFF is in the Buttonwood Road Gym parking lot.

Cars line up on Buttonwood Road and then enter the lot. Our camp staff will greet and escort campers to the field where they are met by their counselors.

If you wish to park and escort your child to the field, please remain in your car and wait on the Buttonwood Road line. You may then temporarily park in the Gym lot at that time.

Consider Buttonwood Road one-way towards the gym parking lot, (from Circle Road to St. James Place) at all times. Consider Cornwall Ave one-way heading away from the gym parking lot (from Buttonwood Road to Benedict Road) at all times. Do not park, stop or stand on the non-school side of Buttonwood Road or any place on Cornwall Ave prior to 4PM. At morning arrival, if you need to stop in the office or speak to a member of our camp staff, even for a minute, park either in the gym lot or on the school side of Buttonwood Road. Please do not park on Circle Road at any time.

AFTERNOON PICK-UP is from individual classrooms. (Classroom locations will be posted on campus in front of Alumni Hall and in front of Kearns Hall.)

All campers must be signed out daily by a parent or guardian.

If anyone other than a parent will be signing a camper out, prior written permission must be submitted to the Camp Office.

If you need to pick your child up before the end of the day, please call the Camp Office at (718) 303-7824. Please try to schedule all early pick-ups before 3:00 PM. Early pick-up after 3:30 PM is not allowed.

Short term parking for afternoon pick-up is available in the Buttonwood Road Gym lot, on the school side of Buttonwood Road, or on the left side of Cornwall Avenue.
