Day Camp is June 20-23
9:30 AM – 2:45 PM
at Camp Sugarbush
Directions - 5364
Cherry Bottom Rd, Columbus, OH 43230
Camp Sugarbush
is a division of Blendon Woods Metropark.
From I-270, take State Route 161 exit (30B) toward New Albany onto E.
Dublin-Granville Road. Go 1.6 miles then take the Little Turtle Way exit and
turn right. Go to Old State Route 161 and turn right. Go past the Blendon Woods entrance and continue on Cherry Bottom
Road about 1/2 mile to the entrance gates on the left when traveling south.
Drop-Off and Pick-Up: CHILDREN’S SAFETY is our first priority – please be
patient!
Drop off
your child no earlier than 9:20 at the DROP OFF sign in the first field,
and adults there will direct the children. After dropping off, continue along
the driveway to circle around in the parking lot and come back out. DO NOT back up/turn around near the drop off
area - it is too dangerous with all the kids walking around.
For Pick-Up, drive all the way to the back of the camp to the PICK UP sign. As you pull up, someone will come to your car and ask who you need, then the children will be escorted to cars beginning at 2:45. Wait until the cars in front of you have been filled and pulled ahead before advancing in line. Do not park your car in the parking lot, as all cars will drive forward and use the circle to exit. Please don’t pull out of line to turn around.

Mask
Policy
As per current CDC guidelines, masks
are optional for both Metroparks and Church of the Master. If you would like
for your child to wear a mask, please let Miss Cindy know so we can support and
encourage your child!
Rain
Policy
If the weather is bad in the morning we
may move Day Camp to the church for the day, and you will get an email and/or
text before 8:30AM. In this case, the
drop off and pick–up for Day Camp/U2 kids will be at the red front doors facing
Grove Street (24 N Grove St). Even if weather improves, we remain at the church - we will not go to Sugarbush
midday due to transportation difficulties. The church phone number is
614-882-2153.
If inclement weather occurs while we are already out at camp, crews will move to the closest of the three shelter houses.
Your family is invited to Sunday Worship!
We will be celebrating the week during Sunday
Worship at 11AM on 6/25, and all the children who participate in our VBS/Day
Camp are encouraged to attend! The service will include overviews of the activities the children have experienced,
and some children will be asked in advance to help with reading or speaking
parts. We will have a slideshow of pictures taken during our week and will sing a few of the favorite songs!
