• Student's Guide
  All registered campers will be emailed a Kids and College Student Guide link, which will include information about arrival and departure, camper expectations, health and safety protocols, what to bring, and required forms. This guide will be sent to the email used during registration.
• Required Camper Forms

  Campers must complete and submit all required camper forms. Forms are due no later than one week before your first class. Failure to submit the forms will result in the cancellation of class registration without refund. Forms must be completed only once for both the spring break and summer programs and must be completed online. The link to the forms is included in the class confirmation and reminder emails.

   

  Certain classes may require additional forms. Campers will be informed by email before the start of the class.

  A supervised lunch period from noon to 1 p.m. will be available for students who participate in either an all-day class or two classes on the same day (morning and afternoon). Students who are attending the supervised lunch period are required to bring a healthy, nut-free sack lunch. Refrigeration is not available.
  Students may also bring a healthy, nut-free snack for break time. Students will not have access to vending machines during class.
