Frequently asked Questions

What should my pirate bring to camp?

Pirates should bring a swimsuit, towel, lunch, a water bottle, sandals, sunscreen, any
medications (to be checked in at the office) and the best pirate voice they can muster.

My son/daughter is on medication, has a medical condition, or has special needs.
What should I do?
We have dealt with many different pirates with special needs over the years and have
developed a system that works well for everyone. First, you should indicate any and all
issues on your application. The first morning of camp, bring any medications, instructions,
and concerns into the Office, located in the fencing office. Catherine D'Arcey will
inform your pirates captain of the procedure, or other considerations in a morning
meeting with the captains. Please, for the safety of your children DO NOT send any
undisclosed medication with your child. Catherine is reachable at 650-725-3001 and more
than happy to meet with you before camp sets sail to discuss any special needs.

My son/daughter needs to be picked up early, late, or by someone not on the
registration form. What do I do?

If your pirate needs to be picked up early please inform us early. We travel all over
campus and will spend most of the day away from the Arrillaga Recreation complex.
Dropping in at any time is fine, but it may take a while to get your camper back if
they are on the other side of campus treasure hunting. Just bring in a note, a phone 
call, or e-mail ahead of time, and we'll have your camper ready to go when you arrive.
Unfortunately, we do not have the facilities for after care. Due to safety issues, we
request you be punctual in picking up your pirate. In the event of a emergency please
call as soon as you know you will be unable to pick up your camper at 3pm.
If you need someone not already authorized to pick up your pirate, please send in a note
ahead of time so we know its okay to release your pirate to someone else. We have yet to
lose a pirate and want to keep it that way. We pirates take our "man overboard" drill
very seriously.
