|
| |
| What is your staff to camper ratio? |
| |
| At Eagle River we focus on keeping our groups small in combination with using a mature staff. Children in pre-kindergarten through second grade have a 1:5 counselor to camper ratio and are in groups no larger than 10. As children grow older the groups remain small with a 1:6 supervision ratio. Campers are grouped based on gender and the grade they are entering in the fall. While Counselors In Training (CITs) are working with most groups, they are not counted in our supervision ratios |
| |
| Is transportation included? |
| |
No. The Enrollment Fee for camp is for parent drop-off and parent pick-up at camp. Parent drop-off for no bus service is 8:25-8:40 am and pick-up is 4:25-4:40 pm.
Three transportation options are available and must be selected for your entire enrollment period:
Air conditioned, door-to-door transportation is available within our service area. We use only modern, DOT-inspected, seat-belted buses and vans. Every driver has a New Jersey CDL license. Every driver must have a drug test, a background check and medical physical. |
|
 |
|
| |
In addition, an Eagle River staff member is on every vehicle to ensure safety. This staff person, also called a bus counselor, will greet you every morning and afternoon while picking-up and dropping-off your child. We provide door-to-door transportation throughout most of Middlesex, Monmouth and Mercer Counties. The additional fee for door-to-door transportation is as follows:
