Most camps are located on the Episcopal’s Munnerlyn Campus, 4455 Atlantic Blvd. Camps with alternate drop-off and/or pick-up locations include

Early Pickup. Early dismissal is available prior to 2:15 p.m. Please plan early pickups accordingly. End-of-day camp preparations (cleanup, car line organization, shuttle parking, etc.) make individual dismissals after 2:15 p.m difficult so expect delays for any requests made after that time.
12:00 and 3:00 PM Carline Pickup & Tags. This year, Munnerlyn Campus dismissal will use a car tag pickup system. Campers who are not enrolled at Episcopal in the regular school year will be issued temporary car tags for pickup. Currently enrolled Episcopal families may use their 2023-2024 Beaches Campus and St. Mark’s Campus hanging carline tags for 2024 Summer Programs. Hang these tags as you would normally during school year pickup.
3:00 PM Carline Pickup for Eagle Arts and Musical Theater Stars. Pickup is at the Munnerlyn Center for Worship and Fine Arts. Its car circle is located past the Upper School Drop off in the Hart Bridge parking lot. During the weeks of June 17-21, June 24-28, and July 15-19, please follow the signage that directs Arts and Theater pickups to this secondary pickup area.Â
After 3:00 until 5:30 Extended Day Pickup. Pickup can be at any time before the 5:30 close of Extended Day. There is no need to call or email ahead for pickups earlier than 5:30 close. Simply pull forward to the main drop-off circle at the Flag Plaza where our Extended Day adult will greet you curbside and page for your camper’s dismissal at any time between 3:00 and 5:30.
Lifeguards. All camps with daily pool time are supervised by certified lifeguards. Some camps will not have pool time and that will be noted in the camp description for each camp.
Swim Tests. Each Monday, campers will complete a swim test to determine their swimming competency. New swimmers will be designated in the Green Group and swim only in the Green Zone, one lane with ladder access and stationed full-time by a dedicated lifeguard.Â
Swim Opt-Out. Parents may contact the Summer Program Director ([email protected]) to opt out of swim activities.
Full-day camps 9:00-3:00 and classes past 12:00 noon. While our 9:00-12:00 campers dismiss prior to lunch, our full-day campers and students will stay and have lunch provided in the Buck Student Center. Our summer program lunch is provided by Sage Dining Services and our daily menu here:
https://www.sagedining.com/sites/episcopalschoolofjacksonville/menu.
Campers may bring a bag lunch if they prefer.
Concessions. An exciting part of the camp day for our campers is a visit to the concession stand. Items range from 50 cents to $2. Send your camper with small bills. *Eagle Arts has a snack included in their camp day so Arts will not visit the concession stand with their busy camp schedule.
Summer Shuttles from Beaches and St. Mark's Campuses
Bus options are available from the Beaches and Ortega areas once you have created an account and select camps.
2024 Summer Shuttle Routes. The Beaches Shuttle route and the St. Mark’s Shuttle route are direct with no other stops from their respective campuses to the Munnerlyn Campus. From the Munnerlyn Campus, certain campers (Tennis, Beach Volleyball, Lacrosse, or Rowing camps) will take a connecting shuttle to the Knight Campus for their camps.
