Please be sure to read the email carefully as it will give you all of the details you need for the upcoming week. If your child is in our JA Summer Program or is signed up for Lunch Club (see above for information on Lunch Club), you will need to check in with our Summer Care Program before 8:30 a.m. at the Preschool awning off of Sheffield Drive. Baseball, JA Tennis, and Softball camps will be dropped off at Raider Park (about ½ mile down Sheffield Drive on the left).

What is the early bird discount?
Register by May 1 and receive a 5% discount when you check out. Simply use the code EarlyBird when you check out, and your cart will reflect the discount.
What days do the camps take place?
Most camps are Monday-Thursday; however, there are a few exceptions. Please review the dates of your camps prior to checking out. We have a few Friday-only pop-up camps this year.
What is the camp cancellation and refund policy?
Once registered there is no refund if your child cannot attend the camp. If for some reason the camp has to be canceled, you will be notified by email and receive a full refund. In case of weather for outdoor camps, the camp will be moved inside and not rescheduled.
