FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

▶ How does the payment plan work?

Once you register, and make the deposit towards camp, you will be contacted with payment plan details. Until the balance is paid in full, monthly payment will be auto charged using a credit card on file. All balances must be paid on or before Thursday, June 1, 2023.

▶ How will I know if a camp my child wants to attend is full? Is there a waiting list?

Many camps fill by early Spring. If you are trying to register for a camp that is full, our registration system will notify you and you will be placed on a wait list. No payment is necessary if you are placed on a wait list. If an opening becomes available, you will be contacted to determine if you are still interested in the camp. All wait lists are in chronological order of registration date.

ACADEMY DAY CAMPS

Academy Day Camps

Summer at the Academy knows that learning happens when it is experiential, purposeful, and fun! Campers will find all that and more in our Academy Day Camps! A more traditional day camp experience, campers will explore a variety of age-appropriate activities that will engage their interests, pique their curiosity, and maximize fun! Days will be filled with arts and crafts, sports and games, music and movement, splashing in the pool, exploring outside and off campus and so much more, all while celebrating the week’s theme! Academy Day Camps are available in half-day options (morning or afternoon)as well as full-day.

Director: Lindsay Olson, Tabb High School Teacher and Varsity Field Hockey Coach

▶ Half-day: 9:00 a.m.-12:15 p.m. | $215 (Morning camp includes pool time.) ▶ Half-day: 11:45 a.m.- 3:00 p.m. | $215 (Afternoon camp does not include pool time.) ▶ Full-Day | $350 *Lunch is included in camp registration.
