Summer Adventures Important Info

REGISTRATION AND CONFIRMATION

All registrations will be processed online at www.pdsmemphis.org/summer, and a confirmation email will be sent to you when you have correctly completed the registration process. If you have any questions about or problems with the enrollment process, please email or call Kathleen McCallen.

ADMISSION

All classes are open to both boys and girls unless otherwise stated.​ Admission is granted to qualified students in the order in which our database receives your registration. Registration will remain open online until the first day of camp unless a registration deadline is specifically stated. If you have any last minute inquiries about availabile space in a specific camp, please call or email Kathleen. Many classes fill up, so we encourage you to enroll early!

PAYMENT AND CANCELLATION

Payment for each class is due up front at the time of registration. If, at any time, you need to cancel your reservation, a $50 cancellation fee will be applied to your refund. If, one week prior to the first day of a camp, registration is deemed to be insufficient, PDS reserves the right to cancel that camp. If this were to occur, your payment would be refunded in full.

Unfortunately, PDS is unable to prorate a camp fee for any day(s) your child may miss, however, certain full-day camps do allow for drop-ins at the rate of $50 per child, per full day. Please contact Kathleen with any questions regarding drop-in availability.

DRESS

T-shirt, shorts, socks, and athletic shoes are most appropriate. Sandals are allowed, but athletic shoes are required for gym and field activities. Students are encouraged to bring either a pullover or a jacket for indoor activities, as our air-conditioned rooms can be chilly.

SNACKS & LUNCH

Snacks are provided by PDS during all of our camps, though children staying for the full day will need to pack their own lunch. A supervised lunch break will be provided at no extra charge for those students.

BEFORE- & AFTER-CAMP CARE

Early drop-off/check-in for morning camps begins each day at 8:30am [12:30pm for afternoon camps]. Camp ends each day either at 3:00 or 4:00pm, depending upon which camp your child attends. Both before-camp (BCC) and after-camp care (ACC) will be available. BCC will be $20 per week and ACC will be $30 per week. Please call or email Kathleen in the camp office to arrange before- or after-hours care.

DROP-OFF AND DISMISSAL LOCATIONS

Camper check-in/drop-off point for every summer camp or class held on the PDS campus (in addition to both Before Care drop-off and After Care dismissal) will be located at the main elementary lobby by the gym. If a camper attends a class held in the Early Childhood building, dismissal point will be at the Early Childhood entrance. If a camper attends a class held in the Elementary building or in the gym, dismissal point will be the main school lobby.

BEHAVIOR

It is expected that every student attending PDS Summer Adventures follow school procedures and standards of behavior. Consideration of others in thought and action is expected. PDS reserves the right to require the withdrawal of any student who poses a discipline problem or a disruption to the learning process. No refunds will be issued for students who are asked to withdraw.
