Girls Place is working with the School Board of Alachua County to provide meals.  We will update you soon on what will be provided. Girls are welcome to bring snacks and their lunches. Water bottles should be brought daily.

Snack
Our concessions stand is open each afternoon during snack time for girls to purchase additional items.  Parents may opt to send snack items as well.  Items will vary in the concession stand, but typically include juice, Gatorade, water, fruit snacks, chips, and trail mix.  Items range from $0.25-$1.50.

A concessions account needs to be established to avoid any issues with missing money. All money should be given to a staff person upon drop-off/pick-up. Parents can set daily spending limitations, if desired.  We cannot be responsible for lost or stolen money.

Thank you to Bread of the Mighty Food Bank for supporting our snack program as well! Some FREE snacks will be available.

Meal Times
Specific serving times will be shared closer to the start of summer.

Girls must arrive by 9:00am every morning during Summer Day Camp unless otherwise arranged (Field Trips occasionally leave earlier).

Each participant will be assigned a membership number that they will use to check in and out with every day.

Girls report to their classrooms after check in.

Due to COVID-19, Parents will remain in their vehicle and children will be required to have their temperature and health check before entering the building.
