Drop-off & Pick-up Process
DE camp drop-off from 8:30-9am & pick up from 4-4:30pm.
Campers can be dropped off/picked up at the S-Parking lot at the North end of the Science Commons. Drop-off starts at 8:30am, pick up at 4pm. If you are running late in the morning, it is important you call or text the camp cell: 403-915-0651 so we can make sure someone is outside to greet you.
DE Extended care is available this year starting at 8am and extending to 5pm for those who require it. You must let us know either during registration, or PRIOR to your week so we can ensure proper staffing. Please note this will be inside the Science Commons (not with HORNs & Art Camps).
MORNINGS:
Each morning an adult must drop off their campers between 8:30-9:00am.
DE staff will meet you at the top of the stairs and check that you have everything for the day.
AFTERNOONS:
Campers must be picked up by an authorized pick-up person (18+).
They will be asked to show a piece of photo ID. This list was created when you signed up for camp, if you wish to add additional people please email before camp indicating their full name and for which camper.
Directions & Map
If you wish to pick up your camper(s) early, please let the staff know in the morning and send a text to the camp phone when you arrive to pick them up. DE campers may be in another part of the university and a staff member will walk them back to the usual pick up location in Lot-S.
Only those campers who are 14+ can sign themselves out, but additional paperwork is required; please email Steph. Those in ExperienceU and Code+ will be sent the form closer to the start of camp.
