Does my deposit ensure my place at the Camp? Yes! Students will be registered the day their deposit arrives. Deposits received after all spots are filled will be promptly returned in full. Should I register early? Yes! Registrations will be accepted on a first come, first served basis. Registration will be closed when all the spots at the camp are filled. If I change my mind after registration, can I cancel? Of course! We understand that plans sometimes change. After all, we see that every semester here on campus. If you wish to cancel your registration, all you need to do is mail or fax us a letter asking us to release your place at the camp. Cancellations received on or before June 1, 2008, will receive a full refund of deposits and/or full fees. Unfortunately, after June 1, we will be unable to return your deposit and fees. Will I be able to visit my student at the camp? Yes, you are invited to an Orientation Dinner on Sunday, June 22nd, and the Awards Luncheon (our concluding activity) on Friday, June 27th. Meals for the Orientation Buffet may be purchased on-site the day of registration. Tickets to the Awards Luncheon for parents, family members, or friends, must be purchased during check-in on Sunday June 22nd. Are there any hidden costs or fees that we will have to pay when we arrive? No! The full registration fee covers everything for the camper. When your application is received, you will be mailed a Student Camp Packet. The packet contains recommendations for items each student should bring to the camp (personal items, types of clothing, spending money, etc...) The only two items that you will pay for (if you wish), is the Orientation Dinner on the first day and the Awards Luncheon on the last. This cost is kept separate from the campers fees because we don't know how many people you want to bring to both meals. Of course, these are not mandatory fees, and is optional to attend. Do I have to be a computer "whiz kid" to participate in the camp? Not at all! Don't be shy if you don't know which end of the keyboard to use. That's why we're here. If I am a computer "whiz kid," will this camp be a waste of my time? Not at all! We have sessions planned for every level of competency and projects that will knock your socks off! We typically have two tracks for each educational module: beginning and advanced. The only thing that will keep your child from learning is if he/ she doesn't try to do so. |
