Registration opened on January 18, 2023.

 

The online registration process includes the collection of general participant information, the completion of waivers, camp/class signup, and payment. Please complete information requests and waivers fully. Registration for each camp will close one week prior to the start date.

 

After you have completed online registration, an immediate email confirmation will be sent to you from the registration system. A follow-up email from the camp director will include additional information about programs, arrival/dismissal details, campus entry passes, and more. Individual instructors may be in touch with participants via email to share specific plans or information.

Refunds on camps, less a $25 cancellation fee, will be made if the cancellation request is submitted in writing prior to May 1, 2023.

Refunds on camps, less a $50 cancellation fee, will be made if the cancellation request is submitted in writing after May 1, but prior to 11:59pm on the Wednesday prior to the camp start date.

No refund will be issued after 11:59pm on the Wednesday prior to the camp start date.  If you are changing camps, the new camp fee will be applied to your account, as well.

All cancellation requests should be directed to Melisa Garcia, garciam@tvs.org.

All participants enrolled in full-day camps or consecutive morning and afternoon camps will automatically be enrolled in Lunch Bunch, which is a supervised lunch break held in the air-conditioned Dining Hall on campus. This service is complimentary.

 

Lunch service is not provided. Campers staying for lunch are asked to bring a lunch and a reusable water bottle. Be sure to label any lunch containers and water bottles with the camper’s name. While refrigeration is not available, lunches remain in an air-conditioned area prior to lunch time. We strongly encourage all campers and staff to bring nut-free lunches.

 

Hand-hygiene practices are encouraged throughout the camp day, including before and after eating lunch and snacks.

XPLORE participants are expected to be kind, considerate, and respectful of others. Behavior that disrupts the instructor’s ability to provide a safe and inspiring environment will not be tolerated. Parents will be notified, if necessary. Continued disruptive behavior may cause a participant to be permanently removed from the camp or class without a refund.

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.
