Opening Day
We want to give you a warm welcome on Opening Day and provide a smooth transition into camp for your son.
Drop off is between 8:00-11:00 AM CDT, with staggered arrival times during this period.
Staggered arrivals allow us to give you and your son a personal and warm welcome, control traffic flows in camp, and comply with municipal requirements to keep public roads clear of non-moving vehicles. Here is the arrival schedule by Last Name:
Q – Z: 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM CDT
H – P: 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM CDT
A – G: 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM CDT
Once the drop off period closes, Glenn conducts an orientation meeting for campers, then it’s time for Miss Gail’s wonderful chicken and biscuit lunch! There are other housekeeping items to finish on opening day — a health check by our camp doctor and activity lists are handed out. Dinner and night activities round out the day.
Closing Day
Camp gates open at 7:30 am CDT for all terms on Closing Day. Pick up is from 7:30 am to 10:30 am CDT.
Any Alpine camper who will be riding home with someone other than his parent or legal guardian must provide written permission to the camp office.
We will email you during camp with more details about Closing Day.
