Camp Hours
6 a.m.-6 p.m.
Summer Camp is offered Monday – Friday, from 6:00 am – 6:00 pm. Breakfast for SAC will be provided and served from 6:30 am – 8:30 am. Programmed activities begin at 9:00 am and end at 5:00 pm.

We advise that participants arrive no later than 8:00 am on days that field trips are scheduled in order to meet departure times.
Camp Sign-in/Sing-out Procedures
Parents are required to sign their child/youth in and out from the summer camp programs daily. In order to maintain correct accountability for the safety of your child, it is mandatory for all patrons to swipe their child into CYMS at the front desk AND sign-in on the classroom sheet for all CYS Services buildings. If a child is picked up by anyone other than the parents, the name of these individuals must appear on the Child Release Designation Form or the child will NOT be released.
Late Fees
Family pays the Program $1.00 per minute up to 15 minutes per Family per site regardless of the number of children in care at that site. For example, a Family who has two children in the CDC and one child in SAS will pay a $15 Late Pickup Fee at each site if pick up is 15 minutes after closing. When the Family is later than 15 minutes, the Family is charged $4.00 per child, per site, for the remainder of the hour and then $5.00 per child, per site for each hour thereafter. Late fee is payable in cash (the day the fee is incurred or the next day before services are rendered). Persistent problems will be brought to the attention of the CYS Services Chief and/or Commander for resolution or for alternate child care options to meet patrons' needs.
