Enrollment Requirement (M-F)
Our Summer Camp is based on a weekly schedule (Weeks 1-9). We do not accept unique schedules during the summer, as tuition is based on a M-F enrollment.
When you register for Summer Camp 2025, you will need to register for each week you want your child to attend. If you are looking to also have before, after, or before AND after care - you will need to register for those separately as well.
