All baggage should be in camp by Tuesday, June 20th. Please make arrangements for ShipCamps baggage to be picked up at camp on Friday, August 11th.
Trunks and duffle bags should have the camper’s name written or embroidered in large letters for easy identification. If you are using your own lock on any baggage, please send an extra set of keys or a copy of the lock combination to our office before Camp. Please label all keys with your daughter’s name and group. All keys will be returned to you at the end of Camp. The baggage of Ti through Jr. B campers will be unpacked for them prior to their arrival.
NOTE: Please do not have campers carry large pieces of luggage on the buses either to or from Camp. Everything should be packed in the trunk or duffle except for some games, books, or a special stuffed animal that your daughter may want to have with her during her trip to camp.
Transportation To and From Camp
Please complete the Transportation and Baggage Form in your CampMinder account by April 1st so we can make appropriate arrangements for your daughter’s travel to and from Camp.
Here are the options for your daughter’s transportation to and from camp:
- Coach Bus – We coordinate coach bus transportation to/from camp in the following locations: New York City, Westchester, Long Island, and New Jersey. Timing and location details for coach bus locations are listed in the Transportation and Baggage Form in your CampMinder account.
- Plane – Campers from distant areas may choose to travel to/from camp via plane. The closest airport to us is Albany Airport; however, we can also arrange to pick-up and drop-off campers at JFK Airport. Please contact Max (max@pointopines.com) if your daughter will be traveling to/from camp via plane. Max will provide guidance concerning the best timing and location for plane arrivals/departures.
- Car – Parents are welcome to drop off campers between 10 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. on opening day and pickup campers between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on the last day of camp. Timing details are to avoid conflict with the coach bus arrival/departure times.
