Parent Transport Information
If you plan to transport your child to camp, please note the following:

• Drop-Off Guidelines:
  • The park staff allows a 15-minute window for drop-off. If you stay longer, you will need to purchase a separate park permit.
  • The park speed limit is 5 mph. Please drive carefully. Plan for additional travel time, as the winding roads take longer to navigate.
