Please enter campus through the Cohasset Gate and proceed up the hill to the Bob Hope Center for program drop-off. There will be cones to assist you in knowing the traffic pattern.
You are welcome to park along the street adjacent to the Tutor Center and walk with your student and sign them in or drop off your student in front of the Student Center/Cafeteria and we will check them in and get them to class. Drop-off is between 7:50 am and 8:15 am. Morning pick-up is between 11:35 am and 12:00 pm and pick-up from afternoon camp is no later than 3:15 pm.
Traffic flow in the morning and afternoons is one-way, so you will exit OUT the Keswick gate. YOU MAY NOT ENTER CAMPUS THROUGH THE KESWICK GATE.

Program check-in will be held in front of the BOB HOPE student center. Look for the CENTER FOR EXCELLENCE TENT for check-in sign. Do not check in at the front office. This is where the high school summer school information is located. PLEASE DO NOT DROP OFF AT THE FIELD OR THE GYM.
From 3:00 pm - 5:30 pm daily, aftercare is available in Campus Ministry (located to the right of the main entrance) for an additional fee. Please pre-register for aftercare if you anticipate needing this service during the week to ensure that this service is appropriately staffed to guarantee the safety of all the children attending. The fee is weekly. If you arrive to pick up your child after 3:15 pm, you will pick them up in the Student Center and charged the appropriate fee. Aftercare ends promptly at 5:30 pm. If you are late picking up your child from aftercare, please note that campers picked up after 5:30 p.m. will be charged $1 per minute to be paid directly to the aftercare supervisor upon pick-up.
Each student will be assigned to a counselor who will be responsible for taking students to class and assisting them during the day.
