Transportation Check-in Procedures Return Procedures Late Arrivals / Early Departures
Back
Detailed instructions with specific times will be emailed to families prior to the first day of their camper's session. Below are the basic steps for each camp check-in:
Detailed instructions will be emailed to all families prior to the camper's return. All summer camp sessions, unless notified differently, return at approximately 12 pm (noon) on the last day of the camp session to North Campus, First Community. Backcountry campers have separate return procedures, arriving at North Campus at approximately 10:30 am on their last day (detailed instructions are emailed to Backcountry families).
Bus Return
Safety/Release of Campers
Please contact our Columbus Akita administrative office to request a form, if needed. Forward the camper release form to the Camp Akita administrative offices no later than 24 hours prior to the camper’s return from camp.
We strongly discourage partial camp experiences due to late arrivals or early departures. The experience at Akita is designed with the assumption that all campers will be there for the entire camp. Any change to the camp community affects not only the absent camper, but all of those in camp.
If a late arrival or early departure becomes absolutely necessary, the details of the arrangements need to be emailed with as much advance notice as possible to our Columbus Akita administrative offices. Appropriate identification will be required before a child is permitted to leave the property with anyone.
Campers are not permitted to drive themselves to camp. Any camper who is not riding the bus must be driven by an adult who has been specifically authorized by the parent/guardian. This information must be communicated to the Columbus Akita administrative office prior to the transport and pick up of the camper.
