**BEFORE YOU CANCEL**

You may transfer to a different camp/week (must be in the same camp season that you are registered for and have available spots). If you choose to transfer, please note that there is a $10.00 fee per registration transferred. All transfer requests must be submitted by 11:59pm Friday night before your child’s week of camp begins.

**IF YOU STILL MUST CANCEL**

Please note that $35.00 of each registration is considered the deposit and is not refundable or transferable at any time.
If you cancel:

• Before April 1st, then you will receive all money paid EXCEPT for the $35.00 deposit;
• April 1st through May 31st, then you will receive a 75% refund EXCEPT for the $35.00 deposit; &
• On June 1st or later, no refunds are given.

It is camp policy that no refunds will be made in connection with late arrivals, early withdrawals, or camp dismissals due to misconduct. Missed days of camp are not refunded or transferred (e.g. missed Friday and want to come back next week for a day. However, we will be able to provide you with any materials missed, such as robots, etc.)

**EXAMPLE SCENARIO**

If you signed up for 1 camp with a total paid of $295.00 and you need to cancel, you would have the following results:

Every year Club SciKidz Dallas makes available a number of scholarships for our camps with our two different scholarship programs: the Shelby Jean Scholarship and the MJ Graves Scholarship (NEW in 2020!). One scholarship per family, please!

The Shelby Jean Scholarships are awarded to families that need assistance providing the camp experience for their children.  Please click HERE for the application.

The MJ Graves Scholarship is an interest-based scholarship awarded to a camper interested in attending a video game/coding themed camp.  Please click HERE for the application.

All applications are due by March 1 and the recipients will be notified via email by April 1.

Our current camp offerings are for rising grades PK4-7th. This means you will select their camp age group based on the grade your child is entering next fall.  Please note that children entering PK3 in the fall are not eligible to attend, as our PreK & Kindergarten camps are designed for 4 and 5 year olds (must be 4 before their week of summer camp, and must be completely potty trained).

Club SciKidz carefully considers the grade range for each course as we receive feedback from our instructors, parents, and campers. Our policy is to allow you to take a course for the rising grade level your child will reach when they start the following school year.

Example: If you see a camp for grades 1-3 and your child is currently in second grade and will be a third grader in the fall, you can register your child for that camp.

Since we have taken into account many considerations in matching our age groups and camp themes, it is generally best for the child to adhere to those requirements. Please remember that an age group contains not only a certain intellectual and skill set, but also a certain level of social maturity. These requirements allow Club SciKidz to meet the needs of each camper.  For example, a rising 3rd grader may be very advanced at coding; but may struggle socially/emotionally if placed in a 4th-7th grade level coding camp.

Please be aware of our refund policy.  Transferring after the week of camp has started, to a different camp due to age appropriateness or skill level, must take place within that same week of camp and is contingent on availability in the newly desired camp.  We will do our best to accommodate these situations but we may have limited options when most/all camps are sold out.  There is also a $10 transfer fee for all camp transfers.

The camp hours are from 9:00am to 4:00pm. You may drop off your child no earlier than 9:00am and pickup no later than 4:00pm unless you have paid for the Pre or Post camp services.

Half-Day campers are to be picked up at 1:00pm as there is no Post camp services available for them,

We have extended day services at all of our locations. The cost is $25.00 per week for Pre Camp, which starts at 8:00 am.  Post Camp services are from 4:00pm – 5:30 pm (with the exception of our TCA location which ends at 5pm) and cost $35.00 dollars per week. Campers that are picked up later than 5:30 pm will incur additional charges at the rate of $1.00 per minute. Please do not try to drop your child off before 8am.

In a pinch, you can pay the daily rate (divide by 5) that morning if you just need services for that day. All parents should make sure they record the Director’s phone extension # in case they need to communicate with the camp site.

Typical Schedule for 1st-7th Grade Campers

Typical Schedule for PreK & K Campers

Our half day option is only available for the PreK & K grade campers. The half day camper’s day will go from 9-1pm. Pack a lunch and snacks. They will have recess after lunch but will miss our outdoor component in the afternoon and some science activities. But, they will receive three science sessions in the morning (Two science lessons and 1 morning demo).

If they are already going to school, or going to school in the fall, we highly recommend the full day camp.

Campers do have an outdoor recess period for 30 minutes each day.  Other camps may do specific lessons outside at the counselors’ discretion.
