What is your refund policy?

No refunds will be issued for cancellations. If you need to cancel registration, please reach out to us about credit for a future summer camp session.

What should my child bring to camp?

• Lunches – parents/guardians must provide a lunch for their children. We try to encourage campers to bring a litter-less, eco-friendly lunch (reusable items).
• Campers must also bring: A water bottle, insect repellent, sunscreen, a change of clothes and shoes, closed-toe shoes, sunglasses, a towel and a hat.
  • Please be sure to label your child’s supplies since we cannot allow campers to share certain items without parent/guardian permission (e.g. sunscreen and insect repellent). Items such as sunscreen, bug spray, water bottles and hats can be stored at camp for the week.
• We will provide water and snacks. We strive to provide healthy snacks, however, if your child has dietary restrictions we recommend packing a snack from home.

What if my child carpools or the pick-up adult changes?

Your child(ren) will only be allowed to go home with people you have indicated on the permission list (provided at the beginning of camp).

My children are siblings, friends, etc., and want to be together, but are now in different age groups. Can they be together?

The 6-8-year-old and the 9-12-year-old campers will be in separate classrooms with different age-appropriate activities. Please contact us with questions.

*Please note there are three age groups: 6-8-year-old, 9-12-year-old, and 12-15-year-old.
