Summer Camp FAQ
What Ages Can Enroll in Camp?
Camp is open for ages 2 through 10 for the morning session (8:30am-12:00pm). For the afternoon session, camp is open for ages 4 through 10. We use the school age cutoff, so classes are based on the child’s age on August 31, 2024. Students turning 2 by August 31, 2024 are eligible for the 2 year old class. Students that turn 11 before August 31, 2024 are unfortunately too old for our program.
Does my child have to be potty-trained?
If your child is 2-3 years old and only attending the morning camp sessions, they may be in pull-ups or diapers. We do require that all afternoon campers are fully potty-trained. They must be able to use the bathroom independently when taken.
How Much Does It Cost to Register?
The camp fee is $125/week for the morning session (8:30am-12:00pm). The full day camp fee (8:30am-3:30pm) is $200/week. There is a registration fee of $100/camper. $50 of the registration fee goes towards the camp fees. If you register for all 6 weeks of camp, then all $100 of the registration fee counts towards the camp fees. The price will increase on April 1st, so register soon to get the best rate!
What payment options do I have?
Registration requires a non-refundable registration fee of $100/camper. $50 of your registration fee will go towards your camp fee balance. The sooner you register, the more payment options you will have to pay the total camp fee balance. All payments are due by May 31st.
What Do I Need to Send with My Camper?
Your camper should come dressed in sneakers and play clothes daily. Please send a snack, lunch, and water bottle with your camper as well. We also ask that you keep a spare change of clothes in your camper’s backpack.
Are There Food Restrictions?
Since we do not provide food, your camper will only be able to eat whatever you choose to send with them. We recommend a small, healthy snack for midmorning and a nutritious bagged lunch. Due to food allergies, we are a nut-free facility. Please let us know if your child has other allergies that may restrict their snack or lunchtime options.
Do I have to register for the whole summer?
Nope! You can pick which weeks work best for your family to mix and match a great summer of adventure! Register for as few or as many weeks as you’d like. However, if you do choose to register for all 6 weeks of fun, then your entire registration fee will be deducted from your camp total!
What if I need before/after care?
Before care is available from 8:00-8:30am for an additional $30/week. After care is also available from 3:30-4:00 for an additional $30/week. You can register for before/after care when you register for camp!
