Our Summer Camp Bus Transportation is Convenient While Helping the Environment

Did you know most camps offer easy, convenient bus transportation from many of Rockville’s neighborhoods? Make your life easier by signing up to use the buses. You’ll also help improve your environment by reducing emissions and the number of cars on the road! Look for this symbol by the camps that include bus transportation. NOTE: For planning purposes, register for transportation only if planning on using the service.

Here’s how it works: Transportation is provided by MCPS buses. Buses pick up campers at designated City sites (see list) between 8:10-8:45 a.m., returning between 3:20-3:50 p.m. An exact time at each bus stop can not be specified due to traffic, road construction, etc. Bus pick-up/drop-off stops are not staffed.• Campers should arrive at their bus stop by 8:10

a.m., particularly on the first two days of each camp session. By the third day of a session, a more accurate time schedule will have been established for each bus stop.

• Campers are picked up at the designated bus stops in the morning and bused to Welsh Park. Campers are then reassigned, with the assistance of camp staff, to their specific camp bus and transported or walked to camp. In the afternoon, this procedure is followed in reverse. Every effort will be made to follow an established bus schedule; however, mechanical failures and traffic conditions may cause delays or detours.

• Parents/guardians must meet their child at the bus stop in the afternoon. If your child is permitted to walk home alone, a written note must be given to the bus driver to verify this. Also, it is important that parents communicate in writing with camp staff when their child’s transportation arrangements change.

• In order to reduce the amount of time campers are on the buses and to maximize efficiency of camp transportation, the City may eliminate bus stops where there are fewer than five campers registered. Notification will be made.

• Bus routes are subject to change at the start of each new camp session. This may change pick-up and drop off times.

About Welsh Park...Welsh Park serves as the hub of the bus transportation system. All buses leave from Welsh Park in the morning at approximately 8:55 a.m. and return in the afternoon at approximately 3:05 p.m. If you have children in several camps that include bus transportation, dropping at Welsh Park is a convenient option. Children should not be dropped off at Welsh Park until 8:50 a.m. and should be picked up no later than 3:10 p.m. If you must park to drop off or pick up, use the Swim Center parking lot.

Access Camp Payment PlanFor your convenience, you may choose to pay in full at the time of registration or select the payment plan option.

If the deadline has passed, call 240-314-8620 to check the camp status. Late registrations are accepted if space is available. Camps may be canceled due to insufficient enrollment. Decisions will be made by the registration deadline at which time participants will be notified.

Refund PolicyRefund requests must be received, in writing, at least two weeks prior to the start of the program. This allows for accurate decisions on staffing, planning and the purchase of supplies and equipment.

You may choose either a credit which will be placed on your recreation account or a refund. Note: Credit or refund requests are refunded, less the $25 non-refundable deposit per program. No refunds can be issued after the two-week deadline.

Transfer RequestRequests from one camp to another must be in writing and are subject to space availability.

Registrations cannot be transferred from one camper to another due to waiting lists.

Waiting ListIf your desired camp is filled, you will be notified and placed on the waiting list and payment returned.

If you indicate a second choice, you will placed there if that option is available. You will be notified via a confirmation letter.

We will make every effort to accommodate those on the waiting list. When and if an opening becomes available, we will go to the waiting list to fill the camp.

Frequently Asked QuestionsQ: My child will be the correct age for

camp by Sept. 1, 2013. May I register?A: Yes, for most camps, you may register your child

for the program as long as he/she is the correct age by Sept. 1, 2013, the age deadline set by MCPS. (See individual camp descriptions for details.)

Q: Can I enroll my child in the same camp all summer?A: Technically, yes. But please be aware that sessions

will be somewhat repetitive. Our experience has been that when a child is repeatedly enrolled in the same camp all summer, they can become bored. One suggestion might be to register for the same camp at the beginning and then later in the summer.

Q: Who are the camp staff who will be supervising my child?

A: Our camp staff is selected for their experience, enthusiasm, desire and ability to work well with children. Staff training includes safety procedures, program planning, skills development and techniques in working with children. Staff is certified in CPR and First Aid training. Reference and background checks, including fingerprinting, are also part of the hiring process.

Q: Will I receive any additional camp information after registering?

A: Yes. Registration confirmations will be emailed within one week of registering. Additional information, including the daily schedule with staff names, required forms and other information will be emailed to you approximately 10 days prior to the start of each session. The mandatory forms can be completed electronically and copied if your child is attending multiple camp sessions.
