Specialist Camp Policies and Procedures
1. Enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis. Classes close when they
reach maximum enrollment, so you are encouraged to sign up early.
2. Specialist Camp is open to new and returning Primary through Level 8
Turning Point students. Levels listed refer to the grade students will be
entering in the 2010-2011 academic year.
3. Registration for Specialist Camp begins on Monday, February 1, 2010
and ends on Friday, April 16, 2010.
4. The cost of a five-day class is $255.00 per week. The cost of a four-day
class is $205.00 per week. Volleyball camp (extended hours) is $265.00
per week, and Mini-Camp is $155.00 per week. Classes that require
extra supplies have additional materials fees. Snack is included.
5. Campers can sign up for any combination of weeks 1 - 4. There will be
no camp on Monday, June 7 or Monday, July 5.
6. All classes meet from 9am - 12pm, after which Mini-Camp is available.
Week 1 Volleyball camp will meet from 9am - 2pm. Week 2 Volleyball
camp will meet from 12pm - 3pm.
7. Early morning care will be provided free of charge beginning at
8:30am for the duration of Specialist Camp.
8. New primary families: You will note that all of our veteran Turning
Point families use Carpool drop-off in the morning. We understand
that for your child, there might just be too much “new,” so we ask that
you walk your child into camp on the first day of each new Specialist
Camp week. However, we also encourage you to use Carpool drop-off
as soon as your child is ready. If you walk-in on Monday and/or Tuesday,
and you think that on Wednesday your child might be ready for Carpool,
please give it a try. Transitioning to Carpool drop-off as soon as the
child is ready is consistent with what will happen this September, and
so it is important for our younger students to be accustomed to this
transition.
9. Please remember that the Grassy Area and the Primary Playground
are reserved for campers and teachers only. It is much easier for all of
our campers to separate if the play areas are reserved for children and
teachers only.
10. To enroll your child, complete the attached registration form. Return the
form with a check for the entire 4-week amount by Monday, April 16,
2010. Payments should be marked Attention: Specialist Camp.
11. Checks should be made payable to Turning Point School and be exclusively
for Specialist Camp. Do not combine payments with traditional
summer camp, daycare, or tuition.
12. If you are registering more than one child, you may combine the
Specialist Camp payments. Please submit a separate form for each
child. (Additional forms are available online or at the front desk.)
13. On May 14, 2010, a confirmation letter will be mailed to notify you of
your child(ren)’s enrollment. If you do not receive a confirmation
letter, please contact Ms. Corano at the Front Desk.
14. You will be notified if any of the classes you have chosen are full.
There will be waiting lists in case of cancellations.
15. You will also be notified if any classes have been terminated due to
insufficient enrollment. At this time, you may choose another class
(depending on availability).
16. There will be no refunds, except for classes that are terminated by the
school due to insufficient enrollment. Payment shall be considered
binding.
