XPLORE: Summer at TVS

Camps and classes will be held May 30-August 4, 2023.

 

Half-day specialty camps will run from 9:00am-12:00pm and 12:30pm-3:30pm, Monday through Friday. Full-day specialty camps will run from 9:00am-3:30pm, Monday through Friday (exceptions will be noted in the Catalog).

 

XPLORE: Summer at TVS will observe three national holidays: Memorial Day on May 29, Juneteenth on June 19, and Independence Day on July 3 and 4. XPLORE camps will not run on these dates.

After a short Priority Registration period for TVS families, Community Registration opened on January 18, 2023.

 

The online registration process includes the collection of general participant information, the completion of waivers, camp sign-up, and payment via credit card. Please complete forms and waivers fully, as this helps us keep our campers healthy and safe!

 

We are proud to offer "rolling registration!"  Registration for each camp will close on the Wednesday prior to the camp start date, no exceptions.  (This allows our team sufficient time to prepare to serve each camper well the following week!)

 

After you have completed online registration, an immediate email confirmation will be sent to you from the registration system.  Starting on March 1, monthly newsletters will be sent by the Director of Auxiliary Programs with additional information.  On May 1, the Family Guide will be released via email.

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.  This service is complimentary.

Lunch Bunch will occur in the TVS Dining Hall.  Lunch participants will be supervised and escorted to and from locations.  Participants have two options during Lunch Bunch...

OPTION #1: Participants are welcome to bring their own lunch and drink.  Refrigeration is not available.

OPTION #2: Families of campers spending the full day on campus are welcome to purchase a weekly boxed lunch package on our registration platform.  Please view this summer's boxed lunch menu and important notes to guide your decision!  It's important to note that -- at this time -- we are ONLY offering WEEKLY lunch packages, although families are able to select a different specific boxed lunch for each day of the week.  Orders are due on our registration platform by noon on the Sunday prior to the camp start date.

Additionally, a daily non-perishable snack (e.g. Cheez-Its, Goldfish, Pretzels, fruit snacks, etc.) will be provided in each camp.  If you wish for your child to have a particular snack, please feel free to send it to campus with your child!

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!

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.

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.

Camper safety and security is of utmost importance to our team!

 

Enrolled participants only may attend classes.  All parents and siblings must remain in your vehicle for drop-off and pick-up.  No gathering or congregating will be allowed at any time.

 

Additionally, no unexpected guests or visitors will be allowed on campus during summer camps.
