ARDEN TEEN CO SUMMER CAMP DRESS CODE: Please be advised of the following so that we can ensure your teen has the very best experience at camp!

Please dress in accordance with your school dress code. Please wear clothes that are comfortable and you can move in.

The Arden is air conditioned so you may want to bring a sweatshirt with you to wear if you get chilly in a classroom.

Please wear closed toes shoes! Sneakers are best! No flip-flops or open toe sandals.

OTHER HELPFUL REMINDERS: It is fine to carry a water bottle around with you – but if you do so, please have it clearly labeled with your name – even if it is a store bought water bottle.

Label all bags, lunch boxes or any other food storage containers you send in with your teen.

DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP PROCEDURES 

On the first day of camp please park and come check-in your child so we can meet you! Metered parking available on 2nd, Arch, and 3rd Streets for 50 cents, per 15 minutes.



For your convenience, there are two options available for pick up at the end of the day: 1. Pick Up by Public Transportation or Walking: If you are using public transportation or walking to pick up your child, please come to the Hamilton Family Arts Center, located at 62 N. 2nd Street, where camp is held.
