Daily Carline for International Summer Camp (Birth-to-Three carline may differ):
Morning Drop-off: 8:15-8:30 am
Afternoon Pick-up: 3:40-3:55 pm
Morning Session campers are picked up at 11:55 am at the front door. Parents should park in a designated parking spot and meet their children near the flag pole.
Late fees apply following the designated pick-up times listed above. See more information in the 2025 International Summer Camp Parent Handbook
Late drop off/pick up
If you arrive after the carline, park in a designated parking spot and walk your child to the front door. Please buzz the intercom, and a staff member will meet you at the door to welcome
your child. Please be aware that this may take several minutes; limited staff will come from the classrooms to escort your child to their group. The Glen strongly encourages the use
of carline – it is an easier transition for your child and keeps everyone on time for their mornings!
You may never park in Governor’s Drive during non-carline hours, even for a quick pick-up or drop-off. It is an emergency access lane, and your vehicle could block emergency vehicles accessing the site.
Lunches are brought from home daily. A reusable lunch box with reusable containers and spill-proof water bottles is suggested. We are not able to heat food, but refrigeration is available. Half-day campers are also encouraged to bring lunch or a snack. Lunch is at 11:30
The Glen is a nut-free campus. Please read labels carefully and do not include nut products in your child’s lunch. If nut products are included in the lunch, they will be returned home unopened.
If your child has any allergies, please be sure to identify their allergies during registration and alert the summer camp coordinator. Email lpawlak@glenmontessori.org for next steps.
Field Trip Days: Children should have a fully disposable lunch with no reusable containers, including disposable beverage containers. Refrigeration and heat-ups will not be available.
Campers 4 years and older can attend occasional Field Trips throughout the summer. The cost for these trips is included in the 5-regular-day camp registration fee. Transportation will be provided by school buses.
Field Trips are for regular-day campers (8:30 am-4:00 pm); 3-regular-day campers can attend if the field trip falls on one of your chosen 3-day dates. It is not an option for AM-only campers.
Parents are required to sign additional permission forms before each field trip. Children without specific permission will stay behind with younger campers.
Staffing assignments differ in the summer; if you are a year-round Glen student, your child’s summer teacher will not be the same as the school year. Therefore, all medical/allergy communication must go through the summer camp coordinator and be updated before the start of summer camp. This includes, but is not limited to, any Action Plans, medication, and instructions regarding medication and allergies.
Allergies
If your child has any allergies, please be sure their allergies are identified when you register and that both the summer camp coordinator and your child’s summer counselors are notified.
Medication
All medications should be sent in original prescription bottles. Any medication that needs to stay on the school campus must be accompanied by a formal ‘Action Plan,’ which can be obtained through the school office. No medication, sunscreen, lip balm, or hand sanitizer may be in the child’s possession.
Sunscreen
Parents should apply sunscreen before dropping their child at The Glen every morning. Summer camp counselors will work with your child to ensure sunscreen is applied again before going outside in the afternoon. Parents are responsible for providing a bottle of sunscreen that will remain in the school building.

Drop-Off & Pick-Up Info
The Glen will continue to handle drop-off and pick-up through carline only. It is an easier transition for your child and keeps everyone on time for their day!
If you arrive after carline or need to pick up early, you must park in a designated parking spot and walk your child to the front door. Please buzz the intercom, and a staff member will meet you at the door to welcome your child. Please be aware that this may take several minutes; limited staff will be coming from the classrooms to escort your child to their group.
Children must be accompanied by an adult on school premises at all times, so please plan for the extra time to park and walk your child to the front doors.
You may never park in Governor’s Drive during non-carline hours, even for a quick pick up or drop off. It is an emergency access lane, and your vehicle could block emergency vehicles accessing the site.
Expected Behavior at Camp
We ask the children to respect each other, the property of others, the facility, themselves, and the group. Our positive approach, which respects the child as an individual, is accomplished through a partnership between home and school. When the health, welfare, and safety of children are at stake, The Glen reserves the right to terminate summer camp registration with one day’s notice to the family. The behavior policy is strictly enforced on and off-campus. The Glen reserves the right to make alternative plans, without notice, when safety concerns prevent a child from attending a field trip or an activity.
Medical Considerations
All medical/allergy information must be communicated to the summer camp coordinator and be updated before the start of camp. This includes, but is not limited to, any Action Plans, medication, and instructions regarding medication and allergies.
All medications should be sent in original prescription bottles. Any medication which needs to stay on the school campus must be accompanied by an ‘Action Plan’, which can be obtained through the school office. No medication, sunscreen, lip balm, or hand sanitizer may be in the child’s possession.
