Families have the option of dropping-off and picking-up at camp!

  • Regular camp hours are 9:00AM to 3:00PM.
  • Drop-off available at camp beginning at 7:30AM and pick-up available as late as 6:00PM as part of our extended day program, Club O.T. 
  • Club O.T. rates can be found here.
  • Drop-off & pick-up is designed to be safe, easy, and convenient – you don’t even have to get out of your car!
  • Security pick-up cards will be emailed prior to your first day of camp.

OPTIONAL BUSING

It’s safe and easy to get to camp! Features of our transportation service include:

  • Vehicles will be used by the same ESF campers each day and will not be shared with any outside organizations.
  • Short, safe commute from Northern Liberties & Queen Village, Society Hill, Grad Hospital, Naval Square, Rittenhouse Square, South Philadelphia to Bella Vista
