Camp Policies:

SummerFest 2023 @ GSL is open to all students entering JK through eighth grade, regardless of school affiliation. Programs for rising PK students are for returning GSL students only. Programs are limited and fill up quickly, so register now on UltraCamp.

All SummerFest camps are led by current or former faculty/staff/coaches, GSL alumni, or trusted vendors.

Program fees must be paid in full for your child to be considered registered. All programs are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Cancellations must be made via email to Emily Merrell, Director of SummerFest, five business days prior to the start date in order to receive a refund (less a $25 cancellation fee). No refunds will be given for absences or cancellations within five business days.

Campers may not be registered for a partial week. GSL reserves the right to reschedule, modify, or cancel a program. In the event of a cancellation by the school, a refund for closed camp days will be issued. GSL may also add a program after the print date of this brochure.

If registered for a morning camp, drop off begins at 7:30 a.m. Morning-only campers should be picked up at 12:00 p.m.; afternoon-only campers should be dropped off at 12:45 p.m. Campers should be picked up at 5:00 p.m. A late pickup fee of $5 per minute, due at time of pickup, will be charged for any child who remains after 5:30 p.m. Pick-up and drop-off for rising PK-SK campers will be at Miss Lee's Preschool (1760 Peabody Avenue). Pick-up and drop-off for rising 1st-8th grade campers is on Lemaster Street outside of the Anchor Center Cafeteria (250 Lemaster Street).

It is expected that every camper attending SummerFest adhere to the school's procedures and standards of behavior, which can be located in the handbook online at gslschool.org. GSL reserves the right to dismiss any camper whose behavior becomes unmanageable or who is disruptive to SummerFest activities.

We ask that you please not send your child to camp when they are not feeling well. If your child develops cold/flu/Covid-19-type symptoms while at camp, you will be contacted and asked to come pick him/her up as soon as possible.

By registering for SummerFest, you agree to allow GSL to publish photos, artwork, videos, podcasts, and any other materials created by your children or featuring your children, in both online and printed communication materials for GSL, unless you notify the SummerFest Director otherwise in writing.
