Want to breeze through the camp line like a pro? 🌟 To keep our campers safe and the line moving quickly, please take a look at our Catalina Foothills High School traffic flow map before Monday morning!

Here is everything you need to know to nail the routine:

🗺️ The Game Plan:

🔹 Enter & Exit: Always enter via the designated lane off E Sunrise Dr and exit through the main blue lane.

🟢 Double Stack: The main driveway uses a One-Way Double Stack system (green arrows). Stay in line and keep it moving!

🔀 The Zipper Merge: Cars will merge into 1 single lane right before the drop-off zone. Let's take turns nicely out there!

🟦 Curbside Only: Pull all the way forward along the blue dashed curb to drop off or pick up your camper.

🚶 Student Walkway: Kids will follow the yellow arrows safely along the walkway straight to the Camp Entrance (orange circle).

🛑 No-Go Zones: Areas marked with red bars/X's (including the N Pontatoc Rd side exit) are completely closed to camp traffic.

💡 Pro-Tips for Speed:
1️⃣ Have backpacks on and water bottles ready before you reach the curb.
2️⃣ Stay in your car! Our awesome staff will be out there guiding the kiddos safely to the doors.
3️⃣ Bring a little extra patience the first few days as everyone gets into the groove.

Let's work together to keep it safe and speedy! See you all Monday morning! ☀️🎒
