TUP Summer Day Camp Parent Information

Program Overview

Our Summer Day Camp program is intended for students aged 9-12. Our programming is divided into 5 different sessions, organized around a weekly theme. Each camp will have unique activities specific to the theme.

Refund Policy and Financial Obligations

Late cancellations are difficult because we often order supplies in advance, and filling empty spots on short notice is often impossible. No refunds will be given for cancellations made within 2 weeks of a camp’s starting date. If cancellations are made prior to 2 weeks from the start date, we will issue a full refund, minus the $75.00 deposit. If you have questions or need special consideration, please contact us.

Camp Enrollment and the Waiting List

Camp enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis. We intentionally keep our camps small to provide small group instruction. Most camps have a maximum enrollment of 12 campers. Any registration received after the maximum enrollment is reached will be placed on a waiting list or given the option of enrolling in a camp that has not yet filled. In the event we have an open spot for enrollment, we will fill first from the waiting list, then offer available spots to the public.

Typical Daily Schedule

Every camp will have the same core format and most camps run Monday-Friday. Programming activities will change based on theme and age.

What to Bring to Camp

Please have your camper bring the following items each day to camp:

Bag
Water Bottle
Towel
Bug spray
Sunscreen. We recommend sun protection with an SPF of 30 or higher.
Wide brim hat or bucket hat
Comfortable clothes that can get dirty and, sometimes, wet.
Closed toe shoes

Campers can bring sunglasses and cameras that are not attached to phones or game systems. Please make sure your camper's name is on all their personal possessions so we can make sure they get back home.

Safety Procedures

Our staff is trained in CPR and First Aid. Staff will handle every scrape and bruise that occurs, and parents will be notified at the end of the day for minor incidents. For accidents that require medical attention, we will immediately reach out to the emergency contacts listed on the camper's application and, if necessary, call 911.

Code of Conduct

It is our goal to provide a safe and respectful camp environment for every one of our participants. Each camper will be asked to abide by our Code of Conduct while at camp. We will go over the Code of Conduct at the beginning of each camp session and we will encourage you to review these rules with your camper to ensure they fully understand what is expected of them while at camp. We appreciate your assistance.
