Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about our Summer Camps
What happens if I am running late for drop-off?
Registration will start at 9:00 a.m. and the bus will leave the premises at 9:30 a.m. sharp.
As we will depart on time, you may wish to bring your child directly to the venue if you were to miss the bus. Please inform the staff at The Zone so that we will update the Camp leader to wait for you and your child at the venue.
What happens if I am running late for pick-up?
For late pick up or if you are arranging for someone else apart from yourself to pick your child up at the last minute, you may call Concierge at 6737-3411 stating clearly the name of your child, the age group they belong to and your time of arrival so that the staff would be able to relay the message to your child accordingly and ensure they leave with the person designated to pick them up.
When will my child receive the Camp T-shirt?
Campers will receive their Camp T-shirt on the first day of Camp. Should you require an extra pair for the other days, please feel free to let us know.
In the event of bad weather, will there be a change in the activity?
Yes, all activities reflected in the program schedule may change due to poor weather conditions.
