A Reminder for 2010 Purchase Day Campers and Purchase Pool Patrons
During the camp season the pool opens at 4:15 PM Monday - Friday. The 4:15 opening time helps expedite the dismissal and transition from summer day camp to the opening of the Purchase Pool. It will also minimize the "Parking Spot Wrestling" that pool members have had to endure in past summers. The lower parking lot (next to the pool) is used for camper pick up until 4:15. Both the lower lot and upper lot will open at 4:15 for pool member parking.
You're
thinking; "But I want to avoid the traffic on Purchase Street and
get a parking spot at
the Community House so I can pick up my children from camp and go swimming
at the pool"
Well, You Still Can! AND you can avoid the traffic on Purchase Street!
We will offer a "Pool Pick Up" Program on camp days until 4:45 to all Purchase Pool Members who are also Purchase Day Campers. During this time campers who are waiting for their parents to go to the pool will have a snack and juice break under our Pavilions and then play with their friends on the Volleyball Court. There's no need for you wait in traffic on Purchase Street because at 4:15 both the upper and lower lots will be open for pool members to park. The "Pool Pick Up" Program will make the transition from day camp dismissal to the opening of the pool more efficient, safer for the children, parents and TEAM members involved and give them a positive experience just like they receive at camp each and every day.
It's simple, easy and best of all it makes sense!
At 4:15, leave Your House for the Community House, park
your car in either parking lot, walk to the Pavilion, sign out your
children and enjoy your swim. And even more unbelievable…the "Pool
Pick Up" Program will be a FREE service to all pool members who
are enrolled in Purchase Day Camp.
See you at the pool!
