RECREATIONAL PERIOD (subject to change) During the daily recreational period from 11:45am to 12:30pm or 12:30pm to 1:15pm and 1:15pm to 1:45pm, campers have the unique opportunity to sample new sports at the other Chelsea Piers venues.

14 TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION If you submitted a separate transportation application for bus service, we will notify you of the specific pick-up and drop-off times and locations the week before your child s first day of camp. If you do not receive notification the Friday before your child/children starts camp, please call the camp office at or camps@chelseapiers.com. If your child will be attending multiple weeks of camp, please note that his or her pick-up, drop-off locations and times may change slightly from week to week. You will be notified of all changes. IMPORTANT: The deadline for requesting transportation online is the Monday prior to the camp week of attendance. Selby Transportation will provide all bus service for camp. Yellow school buses with "Selby" printed on the side and Chelsea Piers Summer Sports Camp on the hood will be used unless otherwise indicated to you in writing. The bus will wait only 3 minutes after the designated pick-up time at each stop in the morning, so it is extremely important that your child arrives at the bus stop on time and that you (or those authorized by you) are waiting for the child at the bus stop in the evening. For the convenience of the other campers on the bus, if your son or daughter is continually late for pick-up or drop-off, Chelsea Piers reserves the right to revoke his or her bus privileges. If your child will not be attending camp or will not be riding the bus, please call the camp office at no later than 7:00am on the morning he or she will be absent. If you decide to pick up your child from camp instead of having them ride the bus, please submit a faxed request to or by to camps@ chelseapiers.com by 12:00pm that day. All routes are to be determined solely by Chelsea Piers. Parents or guardians are NOT PERMITTED to make any modifications to the routes with the drivers. This has caused major confusion in the past. 14
