Arrival & Dismissal Procedures

Arrival:

Please bring your child no earlier than 9:25 and no later than 9:40 each morning. We request that you not remain beyond 9:45.

Dropping off your Camper Option One
You are welcome to escort your child into the building and into their room. Please use the entrance into the wing of the building that we are using for camp, which is on the north side of the building, west of the Kenton St. parking lot and facing the parking lot. There will be a sign marking that entrance as the camp entrance.
We are reserving both sides of Kenton St. alongside of the building, and the Kenton St. parking lot, for parents who wish to escort their child into their room in the mornings. Even though it is legal to park on Elm Terrace, please do not ever park there.

Dropping off your Camper Option Two
Alternatively, we can greet your child at your car. To take advantage of this service, please park on Main Street, in front of the building. Please pull up as far as you can. Take your child out of your car, and wait for a counselor to ask you for your child’s name and division name, and to escort your child into camp. For this service only, and only during drop-off time, we use the main entrance into the building on Main St. We will have counselors standing by and ready to escort your child from your car 9:25 – 9:40.

Arriving at a Time that is Not Drop-off or Pick-up Time
If, for any reason, you arrive at a time that is not drop-off or pick-up time, phone us at 847-452-7770, and a staff person will greet you at the camp entrance and let you in. Please do not go to the main ACHDS entrance.

Dismissal:

Campers are ready for pick-up at 11:55 for 12:00 dismissal, at 12:55 for 1:00 dismissal, and at 3:25 for 3:30 dismissal. There is a charge for unscheduled late pick-ups.
At dismissal time, campers will be waiting in the fenced-in area on the Kenton St. side of the building. If it is raining, campers will be waiting inside the door by that area.

Picking Up your Camper Option One
If you wish to leave your car to pick up your child, please park on the east side of Kenton St. or on Main St. and walk over to where we are waiting.
The parking lot on the Kenton St. side of the building will not be available to camp parents during pick-up times. Even though it is legal to park on Elm Terrace, please do not ever park there.

Picking Up your Camper Option Two
Alternatively, we can bring your child to your car. Be prepared to give the counselor who comes to your car the name and division name of the child you are picking up. We will have counselors on hand to bring your child to your car 11:55 – 12:05, 12:55 – 1:05, and 3:25 – 3:35. During pick-up time, we are reserving the area on the west side of Kenton St. for parents utilizing this service. To enter the pick-up line, from Main St., turn north onto Kilpatrick on the west side of the school building. Follow Elm Terrace around as it becomes Kenton, and pull into the pick-up line.
