Summer Camp Details

Check-In & Pick-Up

Food, Dress, and Sunscreen

Please send a snack, lunch, and two drinks (or a refillable water bottle) each day. Please do not send soft drinks.
If you choose Afternoon Explorations, please pack an additional snack and drink.
If your child is attending a sports camp, send a water bottle.
Please be sure that campers wear closed-toe shoes and dress appropriately—clothes that are cool, comfortable, and easy to move in are best. Remember the kids play and get dirty, so please don’t send them in their “best” clothes.
Please bring sunscreen or apply at home before attending camp. It is a good idea to have your child wear sunscreen every day, as we frequently eat and snack outdoors.

Afternoon Explorations

Late Registration and Registration Changes

Late Registration: While we make every effort to accommodate busy parents, there is a $25 fee for any registrations made after Wednesday at 5 p.m. for the upcoming week of camp.
Change Fee: If you need to change an existing registration, please contact Holly Hofbauer, Summer Camp Director. Please note there is a $10 fee per change. Please remember that we cannot guarantee placing your camper(s) if camps are full.

Pricing

Refunds and Pro-Rating

Refunds will only be given for serious extenuating health or family concerns. Camp directors will make this determination. Pro-rating will no longer be available for any reason. Please understand that when we book camps, we rely on fees to pay instructors and assistants and cover all materials, regardless of whether your camper joins us for two days or all five. Thanks for your cooperation!
