Drop off and pick up locations and times are the same for both sessions:

Session 1: Drop off Sunday June 23rd between 6:00-6:45 pm. Be sure to eat dinner BEFORE you arrive. Pick up will be at the same location on Wednesday, June 26th between 4:00-4:30 pm.

Session 2: Drop off Sunday July 7th between 6:00-6:45 pm. Be sure to eat dinner BEFORE you arrive. Pick up will be at the same location on Wednesday, July 10th between 4:00-4:30 pm.

Drop off:

Coming into Warrensburg, you will go south on Business 13 to campus. When you come to South Street, you will turn right (west). Continue going west until you come to Washington Street. You will turn left (south). You will drive past the sports field on the right. You will continue south on Washington until you hit Parking Lot S 44 (there is NOT a sign). However, you will see RYLA staff in the parking lot.

Park and check in South Yeater Hall (staff will direct you to the front entrance of the dorm). Please bring personal belongings inside with you when you come to check in. You will be allowed to help your student to their dorm room, and then you can be on your way. Please plan your travel to arrive on time so your student will be in the dorm, unpacked and settled, ready to begin the academy absolutely no later than 6:45 pm. Our classroom is in another building and no one will be at South Yeater Hall to help you if you are late.

Pick Up:

Please follow the same directions to get to parking lot S44 as when you dropped your student off. It is NOT necessary for you to come into the dorm to check them out. Students usually text their parents when they are ready to be picked up. If your student needs assistance carrying their personal items to your vehicle, you are welcome to come into the dorm to assist. It gets pretty crowded and chaotic in the dorm lobby, so that is why we encourage parents to stay with their vehicle. Please plan your travel to arrive on time so you meet the pick up time window of 4:00-4:30 pm. None of the RYLA staff lives in Warrensburg, and like most of our students, have a long drive home.

As with both drop off and pick up, if you have an unplanned delay, please contact Valerie Anderson at 816-673-6818 asap. If your student is late Sunday night and we have not heard from you, we will assume they will not be attending the academy.
