Extended Care does not require a deposit; payment is due one week prior to the first day of the week. Campers who are dropped off to camp more than 15 minutes early will be sent to Before Care and charged the drop-in fee. Campers who are not picked up 15 minutes after the end of their camp will be sent to After Care and charged the drop-in fee.

Drop-Ins do not require a deposit; payment is due at the end of the week.

Registrants may elect to pay their total camp balance at the time of registration. If so, any cancellations will result in a refund less the $25 deposit.

Registrants may also elect to use the Summer Camp Payment Plan. Once you have paid the $25 per-camp deposit, the remaining balance, including Extended Care charges will be charged to your card one week prior to camp. In the event of a cancellation, your card will not be charged for the remaining camp balance.

If a camper wishes to switch camps, provided space is available, he or she may do so with no additional cost. If the cost is greater than the original registration, the difference will be due the week prior to camp. If the cost is less than the original registration, you will be refunded the difference.

If registration is deemed to be insufficient one week prior to the first day of camp, PDS reserves the right to cancel that camp and refund your payment in full. Unfortunately, PDS is unable to prorate a camp fee for any day(s) your child may miss. Except in cases of illness or emergency that is disclosed to PDS prior to the start of a camp, refunds will not be given after a camp begins.

Registrants may elect to pay their total camp balance at the time of registration. If so, any cancellations will result in a refund less the $25 deposit.

Registrants may also elect to use the Summer Payment Plan. Once you have paid the $25 per camp deposit, the remaining balance, including Extended Care charges will be charged to your card one week prior to camp. In the event of a cancellation, your card will not be charged for the remaining camp balance.

If a camper wishes to switch camps, provided space is available, he or she may do so with no additional cost. If the cost is greater than the original registration, the difference will be due the week prior to camp. If the cost is less than the original registration, you will be refunded the difference.

If registration is deemed to be insufficient one week prior to the first day of camp, PDS reserves the right to cancel that camp and refund your payment in full. Unfortunately, PDS is unable to prorate a camp fee for any day(s) your child may miss. Except in cases of illness or emergency that are disclosed to PDS prior to the start of a camp, refunds will not be given after a camp begins.

Extended Care is not available for camps off of the PDS campus.

Drop-Off and Dismissal Locations

Registrants will be emailed the week prior to camp to be notified which entrance they should use for camp.

Appropriate entrances will be signposted. For the safety and security of all participants, campers who arrive prior to 10 minutes before the start of camp, will be taken to Before Camp Care and charged the $25 Drop In Fee. Campers who have not been picked up by 10 minutes after their camp session ends, will be escorted to After Camp Care and charged the $35 Drop In Fee.

Lunch and Drinks

Students attending a full-day camp or two half-day sessions will need to bring a sack lunch each day. Snacks and water will be provided.

For students attending both morning and afternoon specialty offerings, there will be a supervised lunch hour between the sessions for no additional fee. Students will need to supply their own lunch.

Behavior

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

Dress

T-shirt, shorts, socks, and athletic shoes are most appropriate. Sandals are allowed, but athletic shoes are required for gym and field activities.
