DROP OFF & PICK UP DIRECTIONS:
- USE THE NORTH ENTRANCE: ***The North Entrance at Camp River Ranch, is the entrance for Woodinville Day camp to use. It is located behind Remlinger Farms. Please do not use the South Entrance!
- LOOK FOR DIRECTIONS & SIGNAGE AND FOLLOW POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 5 MPH: All cars will enter River Ranch Girl Scout Camp (look for a large GS sign and white fencing) and follow the WDC signage and directions.
- PLAN 1: DROP OFF/PICK UP BY THE MEADOW: New in 2023!
- Drive until you see the car line and cones marking the area above the Red Barn and Meadow area.
- We will have car coordinators ready to escort your campers from and to the cars.
- We will have you line up in a SINGLE car line and help 5-6 cars at a time exit/enter cars for check in and out.
- Do not go around other cars or drive off of the gravel road. You will be driving on fragile areas including water and septic lines, etc.
- We are changing the location to have our campers dropped off and picked up closer to the heart of camp and opening and closing ceremonies. (If this plan does not work or there are traffic problems we will return to Plan 2: our previous method. We will send an email update to inform you.)
- PLAN 2 DROP OFF/PICK UP IN CEDARS PARKING LOT: This location was used for 2021 and 2022.
- Drive around to the Cedars Parking lot. Follow WDC signage.
- The carline will form TWO lines marked by cones in the circle drive (a map is posted below).
- We will have car coordinators ready to escort your campers from and to the cars.
- We will have you line up in a single car line and help 5-6 cars at a time exit/enter cars for check in and out.
- Do not go around other cars. Please carefully wait for directions from our staff to pull forward as campers must be escorted to pass between cars to reach the inside lane
- STAY IN LINE: All cars will stay in car lines and pull up for your turn to drop off/pick-up. Expect one-way traffic flows. Please stay safe and aware. Please look for cones and directional signage. Do not go around cars without being directed to do so by staff. Our goal is to keep everyone safe while also moving cars through quickly.
- CAMPERS EXIT THE CAR WHEN DIRECTED BY STAFF: At drop-off. staff will greet campers and teens at their vehicle. Only exit when directed to do so by our car line coordinators. Campers and teens will then be directed to their Camper Unit lines or teen locations at the Meadow (green field next to the Barn OR Cedars Parking lot. Please have your campers ready to exit the cars.
- IF YOUR CAMPER IS NOT READY TO EXIT THE CAR: If your camper needs further help from you, please pull through the carline when it is your turn, then drive and park in the Cedars or Pebbles parking lots to assist your campers safely in the parking areas away from the carline or carline circle. You can walk the camper into camp or drive all the way around to return to the carline when you are ready.
- DRIVERS DO NOT EXIT CARS: Parents/Guardians please do not exit your cars. If you need to discuss something further that cannot be done via email or on the phone with camp staff, you will need to park in the staff parking areas in Cedars or Pebbles Parking lots and walk into camp to talk to a director or member of CORE (look for Purple shirts).
- NAME PLACARDS: Parents place a name placard (first name and last name and unit) of EACH camper and teen being dropped off and picked up on the dash of the passenger side of the car. (See a photo example at bottom of this page.)
- ARE YOU GIRL SCOUT READY?: All campers, teens, and adults should administer this SELF-SCREENING TOOL each day before arriving at camp.
- WDC TEENS AND ADULT VOLUNTEERS: If you are driving and parking at camp, go directly to the designated “staff” parking area in Cedars. After parking, go to the teen and adult check-in carline coordinator near the BARN to be signed in by the Staff. Overflow parking is also available at Pebbles.
- PARKING: All parked cars need to be parked tail in to follow River Ranch rules. No teens or adults should be leaving or returning during the camp day hours without permission from a director. If anyone leaves camp, arrives late, or returns later, they will need to go to the CORE office at the BARN to check out or in again. At the end of the day, all campers, teens, and volunteers need to sign back out with the designated staff and check-out clip boards/table(s). If you fail to check out, staff will call until you are located!
- PROVIDE ID AT PICK UP: Please hold your ID up to window or to the car line coordinators so we can check your ID. Please make sure you have your ID ready every day! Updates on authorized drivers can be made in ACTIVE.
- CARPOOLING: If you choose to carpool, please make sure you use a placard (#6 above) for each child or teen you are driving.
- You need to make sure that your 'authorized to pick-up' adults were included in your ACTIVE registration. Log in to make change or updates.
- For last minute/day changes/emergencies you can email [email protected] or text an emergency contact you received in email right before camp.
- At drop-off, campers/teens will be checked in by the car line coordinators using our master list and each car using the placards placed in your car window.
- At pick-up, campers/teens will be called from each unit line using the placards. Our car line coordinators use an all camp master list for all camper/teens and will check your ID and adults authorized to pick up. We are unable to use live or digital tablets due to poor cell signal and we do not have Wifi.
- ENTER CAR WHEN DIRECTED: For pick-up, a volunteer will bring your camper(s)/teens over to the car line. Pick-up is a slower process, please prepare for additional time at pick-up. We appreciate your patience.
- CLOSED PROPERTY: No parents/guardians are allowed to visit camp or have camp tours. We are unable to provide “watchable moments”, tours, or visits due to it being a private property, schedule logistics, and due to the distance to/from the parking lots.
- PICKING UP EARLY OR ARRIVING LATE: Late arrival check-ins and early pick-ups check-outs are located behind the red barn and art building. Please text or call when you arrive. A staff member will walk your camper to you or come get your camper. If you do not see us or you are unable to reach us, please park behind the red barn off the main road (do not block the road) and walk to the Big Red Barn where a CORE staff (in purple shirts) member can help you.
- EMERGENCY PICK-UP: If for some reason, you are unable to reach a director on the phone. Please park in the Cedars or Pebbels parking lot and walk into the Meadow. Please find an adult asap to be directed to the CORE Office location at the red BARN to sign in or out your child. Please try to schedule all appointments and interruptions outside of the week of camp.
