We know families have busy schedules, so we’re pleased to offer convenient extended care options on both campuses:

Registration is available online. Depending on the program, families may need to complete additional steps, such as interviews or deposits, before finalizing enrollment. Instructions are provided during the registration process. 

Most camps maintain a 1:10 to 1:15 ratio, ensuring personalized attention. Larger camps, such as dance and music programs, may include up to 40 students but will have multiple instructors to divide students into smaller instructional groups.

Camp counselors will provide a detailed list of required items before your child’s camp session begins, including drop-off and pick-up instructions. All campers should bring a packed lunch and daily snacks from home. Additional items may vary by program, so please review the information provided for your specific camp.

For camps that include swimming, children should bring appropriate swimwear, a towel, and any other items noted in the camp’s preparation list. All swimmers are required to pass a swim test administered by certified lifeguards in order to participate in daily swim activities.

Families should pack lunches and snacks for their children, as meals are not provided during camps.

However, if you are interested in one of our two learning support programs, we offer monthly payment plans for families who wish to enroll in either the “Summer Learning Intensive” on the Swain Campus, or the “Summer Surge Reading and Math Program” on the Merle-Smith Campus. To arrange a payment plan, you must first register and place a down-payment for either program. Once we contact you for testing and evaluation of your child, please raise the subject of a payment plan with the program administrator and we will work with you to determine your eligibility for a financial plan. 

Certified nurses are available on both campuses during camp hours, along with trained lifeguards and administrators certified in first aid. 

All MAX | Summer programs depend on meeting minimum and maximum enrollment requirements in order to run. We will make every effort to notify families at least two weeks in advance if a camp does not meet the minimum enrollment. Full refunds will be issued for any camp that is canceled.
