Frequently asked questions

What is your pickup and drop off policy?

To ensure a smooth transition into the daily schedule, parents should arrive at camp by 8:45 - 9:15 a.m. and leave campus no later than 9:20 a.m. Campers in the half-day program need to be picked up at 1:00 p.m. and taken off campus no later than 1:15 p.m. so that the afternoon program can begin. Campers in the full day program should be picked up by 3:00 and taken off campus by 3:15 p.m. 

Where do I drop off/pick up my child?

All traffic must enter the camp from the Mitchell Lane entrance and exit onto Butter Lane. For the safety of our campers, we ask that everyone drive slowly, park in designated areas only and open the driver's side window so that we can direct you.

Yes. All campers must be at least 3-years-old and fully potty trained by the time of his or her first day of camp.

 packing list

Clothing: Campers should wear comfortable shoes, shorts and t-shirts to camp each day. All clothing, shoes, and equipment should be labeled with the camper’s first and last names. 

In addition, you’ll need: 

• Towel

• Bathing Suit 

• Sunscreen 

• Flip-flops or Water Shoes (optional) 

Sunscreen: Parents should apply sunscreen to campers before arriving each day. Every camper must bring their own sunscreen, labeled with their first and last names. The sunscreen in their cubbies will be used during the day to refresh the morning application from home. Sunscreen cannot be shared among campers, due to possible skin allergies. 

Lunch: Campers should bring a packed lunch to camp each day, labeled with their first and last names. Lunches are kept in a refrigerator in the camper’s room. For time and safety reasons, we request that parents do not pack lunches that require heating, or contain peanuts. Campers will be given snacks, juice and water throughout the day. 

3 & 4 Year-old Campers: In addition to the above items, 3 and 4 year-old campers must bring an extra change of clothing in a labeled bag to leave at camp. 

Optional Items: Beyond the above items, Hayground provides everything campers need to participate in the daily program, including all sports equipment. You may want to bring, as desired or needed: Water Bottle Swim Goggles, Ear Plugs, Swimmies. 

What NOT To Bring: Because camp is a busy place where campers are actively engaged in the daily program, we ask that campers do not bring handheld video games, toys or money to camp. These items are easily lost, and are a distraction from the activities offered. Water guns and other toy guns are not allowed at camp. 

Cell Phones: We prefer that campers have a cell-phone-free day. If your child needs to make a phone call, they can do so through a counselor or at the camp office. If you prefer that your child have a cell phone with them, we ask that the phone be stored in their cubby and used after camp hours or for emergency purposes only. 

Hayground Totes & T-Shirts: All campers will receive a free Hayground Camp tote bag at the beginning of camp. Camp T-shirts and sweatshirts will be available for purchase throughout the summer.

bus service

Hayground Camp offers bus service to campers 5 years of age and older. Transportation is provided for a weekly fee. In an effort to minimize ride times for our campers, we do not offer home stops - no exceptions. Please note that bus service is only available to full-day (9AM-3PM) campers.
