General Camp Information
Drop-Off and Pick-Up
Core camp hours are 9 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. each week, but we also offer before- and after-care (included in the price of camp). Drop-off begins at 8 a.m. Students must be picked up by 4:30 p.m. Parents/guardians must come into the building to check in and check out their child(ren) each day of the camp. During the drop-off and pick-up periods, we will have games and other activities available for students to work on independently or in small groups.
Adults will be asked to show a photo ID at pickup. We will not release a child to anyone not listed on the child’s pickup list.
Main Campus Camps: Drop-off and pick-up will take place at the main entrance of the Educational Collaborative (EC) Building on CNM’s Main Campus.

Late drop-off/early pick-up: Let us know either at check-in/out or via email (camps@cnm.edu) if you will be picking up early or dropping off late. Campers will visit different areas of the campus during the day, so may not be in the drop-off/pick-up location.
