Getting To And From Overnight Camp

There are two ways to drop your camper off on Day 1 of Overnight Camp. You can drop them off at the bus, or you can drop them off at the campsite. Depending on which choice you made on the Transportation Form in the Parent Portal, please follow the directions for the appropriate location.

Option 1: Bus

Drop-off:

  • Date: Monday, August 21st

  • Location: Gillette Stadium - 1 Patriot Pl, Foxborough, MA 02035; Lot 2 (see map below)

  • Time: 8:00 AM

When you arrive, you will be greeted by a Camp Casco volunteer, who will give your child a covid test to self-administer. Please make sure you and your camper remain in your vehicle until check-in is complete. A Camp Casco medical volunteer will then meet you at your vehicle to go over your camper’s relevant medical information, medications, and any other questions or concerns. Once you have completed check-in with the medical volunteer AND your child’s covid test has come back negative, then your camper can exit the vehicle and get ready to load onto the bus.

Please make sure that all medication coming to camp is:

  • easily accessible, as you will be handing these directly to the medical volunteer at check-in,

  • in all original containers (this goes for over-the-counter medications, prescriptions, vitamins, supplements, etc.)

  • entered correctly in your camper’s profile (you can confirm this by logging into the Parent Portal and clicking Camper Medication Review)

Please note that we are not legally allowed to administer any medication (OTC or otherwise) that does not arrive in its original container.

Pick-up:

  • Date: Friday, August 25th *note that in 2023, Overnight Camp ends on a FRIDAY instead of the usual Saturday

  • Location: Gillette Stadium - 1 Patriot Pl, Foxborough, MA 02035; Lot 2 (see map below)

  • Time: 6:00-7:00PM

We expect the bus to arrive between 6-6:30PM depending on Friday night traffic. If you are running late to pick-up, please be sure to call or text 857-302-2726 ASAP!

Option 1: Car
