This year’s camp is open only on full-time basis. Part-time and drop-in services are not available this year.
The camp day runs from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. 3. After 6 p.m., the parent or guardian will be charged a fee of $1 per child/per minute.
Early registration will run through May 1. Fee for early registration is $150 per child (non-refundable). With late registration, the fee increases to $180. Rates for weekly tuition are $140, one child; $210, two children; and $270, three children. Registration and first week’s tuition are due by May 1.
