You will receive a placard on your first day to use for pick up and drop off. If you have multiple drivers, please let us know, and we will provide additional placards and copies of this information. There are other programs located on our campus, so please note that these instructions are specifically for Summer at Sandy Spring.
Our staff is trained and certified in child car seats. We will get your campers in and out of your cars, and we ask you to please stay in your car to help expedite the carpool process. If for any reason you need to help your camper transition to camp, you will need to park.
For your convenience, you have the option of downloading the placard file here:

Morning Drop Off
(Drop off begins at 8:30am and ends at 9:00am)
Morning drop off is located at the Lower School parking lot. Please follow the directions below as well as the instructions of the staff when you drop off campers in the morning.
Afternoon Pick Up
(Pick up begins at 3:30pm and ends at 4:00pm)
Afternoon pick up is located at the Lower School parking lot. Please follow the directions below as well as the instructions of the staff when picking up campers at the end of the day.
For pick up, there’s no need to park! We will use our walkie-talkies to call your camper to the pickup area. If you need to pick your child up early, please contact the office no later than noon of that day. When you arrive, park in a designated parking space and walk in and sign your camper out in the Camp Office. Summer at Sandy Spring makes full use of our 140 acres, so it is important that you notify us in advance so that we can have your camper ready and waiting for you. So as not to interfere with afternoon carpool, early pick-ups must be completed by 2:30 pm.
