During summer camps, drop-off and pick-up will take place in front of either Memorial Hall or Marshall d'Avray Hall on the UNB Fredericton Campus. Camps run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with an hour lunch break, as well as a morning and afternoon break of approximately 15 minutes.

Important: If there is any reason why you need to drop your child off earlier or pick them up later, we must be notified beforehand, and we will try to make arrangements.

Drop-off time is between 7:45 to 9 a.m.

Our camp staff will meet you there to get your children signed in. Please allow for extra time at drop-off on the first day.

If you are running late or your child will not be attending camp on a certain day, please call 506-458-7259 and let us know. If you arrive late, please stay outside in the drop-off area and call 506-458-7259 and someone will come out to meet you.

Pick-up time for children is between 4 to 5 p.m.

Pick-up will occur at the same location as drop-off. Please make sure to sign your children out at the end of the day.

If you need to sign your children out early, call us at 506-458-7259 when you arrive and a staff member will bring them out to you.

There is a $10 late pick-up fee for any time after 5 p.m. (within the first 30 minutes) and $10 for every half hour after.


A limited number of scholarships are available for students in financial need. Parents wishing to obtain a scholarship should contact us at (506) 458-7259 or musicamp@unb.ca.
