XPLORE Summer at TVS
Welcome!
XPLORE: Summer at TVS provides participants with safe, unique, and fun learning experiences. Each year, over 800 participants, ages 4-17, attend at least one camp or program, and many return for several weeks! We welcome students from the Fort Worth area and beyond to join us for camps and programs.
XPLORE: Summer at TVS camps and programs focus on growing active, confident, and creative young people, and we do this by offering a wide variety of camp topics. In 2024, we are pleased to offer both "old favorites" and some exciting new options! Come join us!
Please access our 2024 Catalog through the cover image below!
What's NEW in 2024?!?
We are proud to announce the following important programmatic updates and additions:
we are LAUNCHING CAMP XCURSION!
Camp XCURSION is the brand-new "day camp" offered by XPLORE: Summer at TVS, but registration will be on a weekly basis, by the half-day, to increase flexibility for our families! Come join us as we play games, make crafts, and participate in themed activities! This year’s theme across the 9-week summer season is “global cultures,” and the majority of our activities will relate to this theme! There will also be plenty of free play time to encourage participants to get to know each other and enjoy each other’s company.
we are establishing the week of independence day as a full-week holiday!
We believe that a mid-summer holiday is essential in providing the best possible care and programming to your participants during our 9-week summer season. XPLORE: Summer at TVS camps and programs will not operate the week of July 1-5, 2024.
We have transitioned to "unified registration deadlineS!"
Due to the high volume of participants that we are honored to serve, our team requires significant preparation time (staffing decisions, supply purchases, camper ID / schedule generation, etc.). Additionally, we hope to serve our families well by only having two registration deadlines instead of nine separate deadlines for our programs. Our unified registration deadlines are:
- Friday, May 17, 2024 >> Registration will close for all camps in Weeks 1-5 (May 28-June 28).
- Friday, June 21, 2024 >> Registration will close for all camps in Weeks 6-9 (July 8-August 2).
Select your participant's grade level in the 2024-2025 school year to see the XPAND camps offered! (Please see the Catalog for week-by-week offerings and full descriptions.)

What are camp dates and times for 2024?
Camps and programs will be held May 28-August 2, 2024.
- Our XPAND Camps are "specialty camps," which explore a topic in depth and typically have smaller numbers of participants.
- Our brand-new Camp XCURSION (for incoming PreK-4 participants) is our take on a "day camp," but registration will be on a weekly basis, by the half-day. Example: Families can register for "Week 4 Afternoon Camp XCURSION."
Half-day XPAND Camps will run 9:00am-12:00pm and 12:30pm-3:30pm, Monday through Friday. Full-day XPAND Camps and Camp XCURSION will run 9:00am-3:30pm, Monday through Friday.
The following scheduling irregularities are also noted directly in the Catalog:
XPLORE: Summer at TVS will observe three national holidays: Memorial Day on May 27, Juneteenth on June 19, and Independence Day on July 1-5. No XPLORE: Summer at TVS camps or programs will run on these dates. (Please note that -- new this year -- the entire week of July 1-5 is a holiday for campers and staff.)
Who may participate in XPLORE camps and programs?
All students who will be in PreKindergarten through Grade 12 during the 2024-2025 academic year, and are able to secure transportation to the Trinity Valley School campus, are welcome to participate!
There is a limited number of camps -- listed in a separate section of the Catalog -- that are only open to enrolled TVS students. Rosters for those specific camps will be cross-checked prior to the camp start date. Rest assured that each year, 90%+ of our camps are open to EVERYONE!
a note on participant age
All participants must be 4 years of age or older by the start of the summer season (May 28, 2024).
- An exception will be made for admitted incoming TVS PreKindergarten students. Per Admissions policy, TVS PreKindergarten students must turn 4 years old by June 30, 2024. Thus, it is permissible for a 3-year-old to attend appropriate camps in the month of June, as long as they have been admitted to TVS PreKindergarten for the 2024-2025 school year.
-
Regardless of age, it is absolutely essential that all campers are able to use the restroom independently for the duration of their participation in XPLORE: Summer at TVS programming. This independence must include basic functions, proper toilet-flushing, and hand-washing skills.
Our camps and programs are designed for rising PreKindergarten through rising Grade 12 participants. We are unable to admit high school alumni into our programs.
How do I register? How will payment be processed?
Launch timeline
- Wednesday, January 3, 2024 >> The Catalog will be published on this website!
- Wednesday, January 10, 2024 (5:00pm) >> Currently registered TVS families will be able to register during our Priority Registration period via a privately sent link!
- Wednesday, January 17, 2024 (5:00pm) >> Community Registration will open via public link on this website!
The online registration process includes the collection of general participant information, completion of waivers and medical information, camp selection, and payment via credit card. Please complete forms and waivers fully, as this helps us keep our campers healthy and safe!
After you have completed online registration, an immediate email confirmation will be sent to you from the registration platform. Starting on February 1, monthly newsletters will be sent by the Director of Auxiliary Programs to registered families with additional information. On May 1, the XPLORE 2024 Family Guide will be released via email.
payment information
Summer fees are paid online by credit card. There are two options:
- Pay in full at the time of registration.
- Pay in four equal installments, charged on March 1, April 1, May 1, and June 1, 2024.
Please note that we are unable to prorate camp fees, except in the case of a medical or family emergency in the life of a camper.
Thank you for ensuring that an updated credit card is on file through our registration platform!
What are the 2024 registration deadlines?
The registration deadlines are as follows:
- Friday, May 17, 2024 >> Registration will close for all camps in Weeks 1-5 (May 28-June 28).
- Friday, June 21, 2024 >> Registration will close for all camps in Weeks 6-9 (July 8-August 2).
Please note that XPLORE: Summer at TVS has transitioned to "unified registration deadlines" and will no longer keep registration open until the week before each camp begins. Due to the high volume of participants that we are honored to serve, our team requires significant preparation time (staffing decisions, supply purchases, camper ID / schedule generation, etc.). Beyond May 17 and June 21, respectively, we will not be able to provide refunds. Late additions to camps will only be made with administrator and instructor approval.
What if I am waitlisted for a camp or program?
There is no charge to add a camper to the waitlist in any XPLORE: Summer at TVS camp. If you are waitlisted for one or more camps, you will receive an automated message upon completing the registration process with the following message:
"Please rest assured that a member of the Auxiliary Programs Team will reach out to you as soon as possible if a seat opens in one of your waitlisted programs."
Our team truly does reach out to waitlisted campers' families as soon as seats open in any of our programs! If we are unfortunately unable to accommodate a waitlisted camper by the time registration closes, you will receive a courtesy message from our team regarding your camper's waitlist status.
What if I need to cancel or transfer an XPLORE camp or program?
We follow a three-tiered Cancellation + Transfer Policy...
prior to MARCH 1, 2024
No fee will be applied.
For transfers, we will only charge the program fee difference (if moving to a more expensive camp) or refund the difference (if moving to a less expensive camp).
on or after MARCH 1, 2024 (but before REGISTRATION CLOSURE)
For cancellations, we will issue a refund, less a 25% cancellation fee per camp. We will process transfers with no fee. We will only charge the program fee difference (if moving to a more expensive camp) or refund the difference (if moving to a less expensive camp).
Please note that a transfer request consists of a dropped program and an added program in the same communication. Requests to drop a program without a request to add another program will be treated as a cancellation and will be subject to the 25% fee.
Please note that registration will close on Friday, May 17, for all camps in Weeks 1-5 (May 28-June 28). Registration will close on Friday, June 21, for all camps in Weeks 6-9 (July 8-August 2).
after registration closure (May 17 for weeks 1-5; june 21 for weeks 6-9)
For cancellations, no refund will be issued. For transfers, no refund on the old camp will be issued, and the full fee for the new camp will be applied to your account, if administrator and instructor approval is obtained. Please note that it may not be possible to transfer camps after registration closes, as this requires administrator and instructor approval.
All cancellation requests should be directed to Melisa Garcia, garciam@tvs.org. Please review our full cancellation policy here (also included in the Catalog).
Do you offer childcare beyond the camp / program times?
Need to drop off before 9:00am? Most appropriate for participants in grades PreK-4, XTEND Before will be offered at 8:00-9:00am. Fees are $5.00 / morning, pre-purchased in a weeklong package. (This will appear in the registration platform as $25.00 for most weeks and $20.00 for the weeks containing a holiday.)
Need to pick up after 3:30pm? Most appropriate for participants in grades PreK-4, XTEND After will be offered at 3:30-5:00pm. Fees are $7.50 / afternoon, pre-purchased in a weeklong package. (This will appear in the registration platform as $37.50 for most weeks and $30.00 for the weeks containing a holiday.)
Both of these childcare options take place in the TVS Dining Hall. Detailed information -- including carpool start and end times -- will be sent to all registered families in the XPLORE 2024 Family Guide, released via email on May 1, 2024.
How will you ensure the health and safety of my child?
It is our foremost priority to keep all participants physically safe while on campus for the summer. To do this we have:
-
ensured that Campus Security will be present on campus at all times while participants are at TVS.
-
ensured that trained and licensed medical staff will be present each day, to navigate health-related issues that may arise.
-
implemented the TVS Hot Weather Policy – developed by our athletic trainers in compliance with current guidance and best practices – to help us make wise decisions during the heat of the summer!
Similarly, we strive to create an environment in which all participants are psychologically safe. To do this we have:
-
trained all XPLORE staff, instructors, interns, and counselors in best practices for creating an inclusive environment.
-
trained all XPLORE staff, instructors, interns, and counselors in appropriate ways to handle social situations that may arise.
-
trained XPLORE administrators in Youth Mental Health First Aid.
-
endeavored to organize our programming in such a way where no camper ever feels “lost,” i.e. where all campers know where to go and whom to trust.
What food will be provided? What does Lunch Bunch look like?
All participants enrolled in non-field-trip-based full-day camps or otherwise spending the full day on campus (morning and afternoon camps in the same day) will have a supervised lunch break at 12:00pm-12:30pm. This supervision is complimentary.
This "Lunch Bunch" will occur in the TVS Dining Hall. Lunch participants will be supervised and escorted to and from locations. Participants should bring their own lunch and drink. Refrigeration is not available.
Additionally, a daily non-perishable snack (e.g. Cheez-Its, Goldfish, Pretzels, fruit snacks, etc.) will be provided in each camp. All snacks are nut-free, and we will have gluten-free options available. However, if you wish for your child to have a particular snack, please feel free to send it to campus with your child!
What do I have my participant wear and bring each day?
T-Shirts – Participants will receive their XPLORE camp shirts during their first week of camps. Participants are not required to wear their shirts every day.
Cool and comfortable clothing – Wear cool, comfortable clothing for hot summer days! Hats are welcome to provide shade from the sun!
Sunscreen – Be sure to apply sunscreen before arrival to camp and send extra for re-application throughout the day.
Hydration – Be sure to send your participant with a refillable water bottle with the camper’s name clearly visible.
Sports Camps – bring personal equipment if you have it (ex. balls, gloves, etc.). Be sure to have your child’s name written on the equipment.
Please label ALL personal belongings with your child’s name!
What policies do I need to be aware of?
required waivers at time of registration
During the registration process, families will be required to agree with the 2024 XPLORE waivers and releases. A copy of these waivers and releases may be found here.
One of these waivers is the current XPLORE: Summer at TVS Cancellation + Transfer Policy. A copy of this policy may be found here.
medical
Medical information is confidentially shared with our team during the camp registration process.
Please do not send your child to camps if he / she is ill. Children must be fever-free for 24 hours before returning to camp. If a child gets ill or injured during camp, on-site medical personnel will monitor care and notify parents. We appreciate your commitment to keeping our summer community healthy!
safety + security
Camper safety and security is of utmost importance to our team!
Enrolled participants only may attend camps and programs. All parents and siblings must remain in your vehicle for drop-off and pick-up, unless permission is granted by Derek Reinhold or Melisa Garcia. Additionally, no unexpected guests or visitors will be allowed on campus during summer camps.
XPLORE: Summer at TVS requires that all children be supervised while on campus. All students must be enrolled in a supervised program or in consecutive camps / classes throughout the day. XPLORE staff, instructors, interns, and counselors will help guide your children from one program / activity to the next.
English is the primary language of instruction, including in our foreign language- / culture-based programs. For their safety, we require that all participants understand verbal communication from instructors and staff; additionally, some instructors incorporate age-appropriate, literacy-based activities into their programs.
It is essential that all participants know their first and last name. Participants in grades PreK-8 will receive identification at the beginning of each day, and our team uses participant names frequently, e.g. roster reconciliation during carpool times, identification of Lunch Bunch and XTEND After groups (as applicable), and any medical needs.
participant conduct
XPLORE participants are expected to be kind, considerate, and respectful of others. Families will be contacted in the case of negative or inappropriate behavior. Multiple calls to families may result in dismissal from summer programs.
Some of our programs will use technology to enrich the camper experience. All instructors, interns, counselors, and campers are bound by the current XPLORE Technology Responsible Use Policy, which may be found here.​​​​​​​
I'm new! What will campus / carpool procedures look like?
You are welcome to view our interactive campus map here!
Detailed carpool start and end times, routes, and procedures will be shared with registered families in the XPLORE 2024 Family Guide, released via email on May 1, 2024.
Families will be required to have a dashboard permit displayed to enter campus and assist carpool staff in matching campers with vehicles. Links to printable permits will be included in the XPLORE 2024 Family Guide, released via email on May 1, 2024.
