Safe Passage Policy
In the interest of your child’s safety, BGCGSD has adopted policies we call our Safe
Passage Policy.
Members under the age of 12 must be retrieved by a parent, guardian or other
authorized adult on the authorized pick up list (e.g. family member, nanny).
At select locations, members age 12 and older may leave the Club unescorted with
prior written permission from parent or guardian and a signed release of liability.
Members ages 12 and older may escort household members from the Club (only with
prior written authorized parent/guardian permission and a signed release of liability).
No member, regardless of age, will be allowed to return to the Club once they leave
the premises for the day.
Only pre-authorized adults will be allowed to pick up children from the Club.
All authorized and unauthorized adults must be listed on the membership application.
Parents/guardians/authorized adults are required to enter and exit through the main
door to drop off or pick up children.
Staff will not respond to phone calls requesting a member to be dismissed unescorted.
Parents/guardians/authorized adults should be prepared to show ID at all times.
The Club will not physically restrain a member that insists on leaving the Club, nor
block the facility’s exits. Therefore, it is each parent’s responsibility to discuss the Club’s
Safe Passage Policy with his or her child and ensure that he or she complies.
The Club will not accept responsibility for members that leave the Club unsupervised
and in breach of this policy.
The Club reserves the right to suspend or discontinue services for violation of the
above procedures by an adult or child.
