Robbins Rest FAQ
Q: How does my child get to and from camp?
A: We provide transportation to and from Fair Harbor’s main dock (by Le Dock restaurant) at approximately 8:45 am and 3:15 pm. These times will be confirmed closer to the start of camp. All parents must opt-in for text messaging through Campsite so we can communicate easily regarding timing and weather updates.
Q: Is there an extra fee for this?
A: No! However, because camp closes from 12-1 pm for lunch, you must enroll your child in our supervised bag lunch program called Lunch Bunch. Click here for more info on Lunch Bunch.
Q: What do our children do from 12-1 while camp is closed and other campers go home?
A: We offer a supervised bag lunch program called Lunch Bunch. You will send your camper with a nut-free bag lunch that will be refrigerated for them. At 12 pm, a Lunch Bunch counselor will collect your camper from his/her group and Lunch Bunch campers will eat together at tented picnic tables at Windswept.
Q: What happens if the bay is too rough to travel to and from Fair Harbor?
A: If inclement weather prevents our waterfront staff from picking up campers, we can reimburse you for that day or offer you a makeup day of camp. If you are able to get your child to camp on your own, we will be happy to have them! For last minute decisions based on weather, text message will be our primary form of communication.
Mainland Camper FAQ
Q: How does my child get to and from camp?
A: All campers coming from the mainland will meet at a designated spot in the Bay Shore ferry terminal. OBYG counselors will be waiting in staff shirts. These chaperones will meet them in Bay Shore, sit with them on the ferry, and escort them to their group at Windswept. The reverse will happen at the end of the day. Ferry counselors will hold all camper ferry tickets. Parents MUST opt in for text messaging so we can communicate easily.
Q: Do we need to buy ferry tickets?
A: No, ferry tickets will be provided for your child. Camp closes from 12-1 for lunch, so you must enroll your child in our supervised bag lunch program called Lunch Bunch. See below for more info on Lunch Bunch.
