Why are some weeks priced at $105 and some weeks $145?
Any onsite trips are included in the price for 4-7 and 8-12 year olds.
Off site trips are only included for 8-12 y/olds.
Onsite trips are things like bounce houses, petting zoos, foam party, and inflatable water slildes. These are included in the price because all children will have a designated time to participate in the activity. Will will not exclude any campers from the onsite trips unless necessary due to medical restrictions.
Do I have to pay in full for summer camp?
When you are registering online, it will require you to pay in full to complete your registration.
In order to set up a payment plan, you need to make an appointment to come in person to our office. Our office hours are 9:30am-5:30pm Monday-Friday. When you set up a payment plan you will have to pay the first week in full at the time of registering.
