All drop-off is at Marine Science Institute (500 Discovery Parkway, Redwood City, CA 94063). Due to our limited parking area we use a drive through-style drop-off and pick-up. This is proven to be efficient and safe. To drop off your campers follow the circle of traffic cones and pull as far forward as possible. A Marine Science Camp staff member will greet you, check in your camper, and gather any additional information we may need. Walk-ins will not be accommodated. We only unload campers on one side of the parking lot to ensure that no children need to cross the lot in front of cars. Please be patient until you pull all the way forward before encouraging your child to exit the vehicle. A volunteer or staff member will help your child out of the vehicle and will walk them to their morning gathering area.

All pick-off is at Marine Science Institute (500 Discovery Parkway, Redwood City, CA 94063). When you arrive to pick up your child, a staff member will greet you and direct you around the circle of cones. Please do not enter the lot until invited to do so--we may need to hold space for school buses returning from field trips. Staff will check that you are on the Authorized Adult Pick Up list, and we will call your camper out as you pull around. All adults picking up campers are required to be on the Authorized Adult Pick Up List and show a photo ID. Guardians are to inform all persons authorized to pick up their child/ren from camp of this policy and are to instruct them to have a photo ID at time of pick-up. If you need to park you may ask to be directed to a parking space. We would be happy to assist your child with their car seat buckles upon request.
