Camp Landmark 3s & 4s Family Guide
2024
Dear Families & Summer Program Participants,
I am thrilled about Summer 2024! On behalf of the Summer Team and myself, we are beyond excited to have your child join us this summer!
Here at RA/LP's Summer Program, we encourage and guide children to become their best and authentic selves by allowing them to step out of their comfort zone, try new activities, discover new friendships, and create warm memories while developing confidence, in a safe, exciting, and FUN environment!
This Parent Guide is a great resource to answer your questions and give insight into your child's upcoming summer experience at RA/LP.
We look forward to a summer full of adventure, opportunity, creativity, laughs, and sunshine!
Happy Summer!
Sara Abriola Auxiliary Program Director

Packing Recommendations and Requests
We recommend that all children arrive dressed in bathing suits and water shoes. Please send in a change of clothing, extra shoes, and a towel. If your child is not 100% toilet trained, please pack additional bathing suits and clothing. We recommend wearing a two-piece bathing suit for easier bathroom use.
As for lunches, please provide lunch with an ice pack. We can't warm up lunches, so thermoses are recommended for hot foods.
The playground has scooters and bikes for the children to ride. Please pack a helmet that can stay in the classroom during the week.
Make sure to label your child's belongings so nothing gets lost!
Daily Drop-Off & Pick-Up
Camper drop-off and pick-up are at the Summit Building Entrance.
Drop off time: 9:00 am
Pick-Up Time: 2:00 pm
Late Arrival and Early Pick Up
If a camper must leave early, please notify the Summer Program Director or Summer Program Staff ahead of time. The Early Pick Up Location is the Summit Building Entrance.
Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedures
Summer staff will be outside the Summit Building to help your children in and out of the car. Summer staff will walk your child to their classroom at the start of the day.
Please refrain from getting out of the car, as it will stop the flow of the children arriving and leaving each day.
The safety of the children is most important to us, and we must ensure there is a limited amount of traffic at all times.
We fully understand that dropping off a child who is upset or nervous can be challenging. Encouragement and preparation go a long way! At Camp Landmark, an experienced team will provide your child with care and support!
