Summer Experience Policies

List of 9 frequently asked questions.

• Registration and Confirmation Information

  To participate in a Summer Experience camp or class, please register and complete all necessary forms, including medical information.
  
  

  Registrations will not be processed without payment. A confirmation email will be sent upon receipt of registration. An informational letter including drop-off and pick-up locations, supply lists (if necessary), and other pertinent information will be sent to campers as the camp approaches. Please keep your receipt. For additional or specific information, please contact the Summer Experience Director Chuck Robinson.

• Behavior Policy

  We expect all campers to abide by Steward values while on our campus. Campers will demonstrate respect for themselves, their peers, their leaders, and their surroundings. Summer staff will contact parents/guardians with any behavioral concerns that are not in line with our behavioral expectations. Based on the severity of the incident, campers may be asked to leave, at which point, refunds will not be given. Additionally, there may be instances where camp leaders and programming cannot be modified to meet the individual needs of a camper. The Steward Summer Experience reserves the right to remove an individual from the program or nullify a registration in these circumstances. A full refund will be provided should this occur. Please contact Camps@stewardschool.org with any questions.

• Cancellation of Classes

  There are minimum class sizes for all camps and programs. The Steward School reserves the right to cancel any course, program, or activity, as necessary. In such cases, a full refund will be made. All online summer camp registrations before June 1, 2024, require a non-refundable $50 deposit per camp with a credit card. After June 1, 2024, deposits will no longer be refundable. Should a conflict occur, registrations may be transferred to an alternate week. Balances may be paid by credit card. Unfortunately, we are not able to process camp registrations through the student account program. In the event of extreme weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances, we reserve the right to cancel or postpone any part of camp for the safety of the campers and cannot provide a refund for any cancellation or postponement that is weather-related. 

• Insurance Information
  
  

  Parents must agree to provide health and accident insurance for the student and to indemnify the school and its personnel against any liability for student accident or health problems.

• Payment

  A $50 non-refundable deposit is required for all Summer Experience programs. Remaining balances must be paid in advance of the start date for the camp. Monthly and bi-monthly payment options are available during the registration process.

• Early Drop-off/Late Pick-up

  Students may be dropped off for camp no more than 30 minutes prior to the start of camp and picked up no later than 4:30 p.m. For those who need additional coverage, early drop-off is available as early as 7:45 a.m. and After Care is available until 6:00 p.m. Please select "Early Drop-Off" and/or “After Care” during the registration process.

• Photography and Videography

  Unless otherwise noted in the registration portal, The Steward School exercises the right to use any photographs and/or video taken of individuals participating in the Summer Experience in its promotional publications and online.

   

• Allergies and Medications

  Important notice to parents of campers with allergies: The Steward School camps are NOT peanut, wheat, dairy, or allergen free. We make every reasonable accommodation for campers with allergies. If your child is allergic to certain foods, we ask that you provide a snack each day. If your child is in a camp where cooking or food preparation is part of the curriculum, please discuss your child’s dietary needs with camp staff. Children who require the use of epinephrine for life-threatening emergencies will be asked to keep their devices with them at all times (a small backpack works well) or with camp medical staff. The camp has licensed medical coverage, and the vast majority of camp staff are trained in CPR and first aid.
