XPLORE Summer at TVS

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.

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.

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).
