CARPOOL CARDS

Our special TIC-branded Carpool Cards are emailed out prior to the start of camp and are also available on the first day of camp at Drop-off. DISPLAY THE CARPOOL CARD(S) FOR EACH CAMPER YOU ARE PICKING UP ON YOUR DASHBOARD for ease. They are required for ALL pick-ups, even Extended Day. Carpool cards are what we use to identify people that are authorized to pick up your camper. If you want to authorize someone else to pick up your child, simply send/give them the carpool card. If someone tries to pick up your camper without a carpool card, we will need to check their ID and consult the "approved pick-up list" (available in your TIC account). Otherwise, we will call you to confirm before we release your camper to them. Please note that this takes extra time so please be patient. Pro Tip: arriving at the very beginning or very end of the pick-up window may result in longer wait times. We ask for your patience the first few days of camp while families and campers learn our system.

LATE CAMPER DROP OFF (8:00-8:30AM)

If you arrive after 8:30am, use the roundabout off of 42nd and Davenport St to drop your camper at the main entrance. Call the TIC-DC Camp Office at 703-447-8934 and wait for a staff member to come and greet them before leaving to ensure the safety of your camper.

EARLY PICK UP

To pick up a camper early, call or email the TIC-DC Camp Office at 703-447-8934 (preferably the day before) so we can have your camper ready at the designated time. Call the office when you arrive in the loop at the main entrance on Davenport Street and we will escort them out to your car. Every effort will be made to have your camper ready for you in the office but note that it can take 5-10 minutes, so please plan appropriately. If you arrive after 2:40, you will be instructed to wait in the carpool line in the garage.

CAMPER CHECK OUT

For campers who walk, ride bikes, or take public transportation, please complete and submit the “Permission to Walk Home” form through your online account. They MUST check out with a designated Director prior to the beginning of carpool each afternoon. In the case of severe weather, TIC may ask for additional parental permission for campers to leave the site. If you prefer that your camper stay until the weather passes or we are unable to reach you, we will keep your campers onsite until we hear otherwise from a guardian or it becomes safe for them to leave.

EXTENDED DAY PICK UP

Any camper who is not picked up during carpool automatically goes to Extended Day. Running late? No problem! You do not need to sign up or let us know in advance. Drop-in extended day and payments can be added to your online account at any time. We will process your payment method on file at the end of each camp session. If you need to update your payment method for any reason, please contact us at 703-876-2868.

Campers can be picked up any time before 5:30pm. Call 703-447-8934 when you arrive, and we will bring your child out to you. You must have your carpool card to ensure safety. Caregivers who are late (after 5:30pm) will be charged $10 for the first 15 minutes and $1 per minute after that. Please call if you will be delayed so we know you are on the way.
