Registration Information
STEP 1: REGISTRATION
Registration opens January 11, 2022 at 10AM for summer camp and is on a first come/first served basis. Registrations are time and date stamped and separated into Veteran and New Families and processed in the order they are received according to the Registration Calendar above.
Veteran Families are campers who attended TSC a previous summer, or children of TSC alumni or staff. Being a Veteran Family does not guarantee that the session you register for will be available even if you are a Veteran Family. Many of our sessions fill quickly and enrolling online as soon as possible increases your chances of receiving the session(s) you want.
New Families are strongly encouraged to still Register on January 11, or as soon as possible. Early Registration increases your chances of receiving the session(s) you want when it comes time to process New Families on February 1.
STEP 2: ENROLLMENT
Once we process your Registration and have a spot for your camper, we will send you a confirmation email and charge a $300 deposit per camper. It is at this point that your camper is considered Enrolled and attending Summer 2022. Balances are due on or before May 1.
STEP 3: WAITING LISTS
We keep a Waiting List for families who may not get a spot (or the spot they prefer). As space becomes available due to changes and cancellations, we will contact you in the order you are placed on the Waiting List.
CHANGE AND CANCELLATION FEES
ALL changes or cancellations must be submitted in writing to info@tsc.camp
Change Deadlines and Fees
| DATES | CHANGE FEE |
|---|---|
| By March 15 | $0 per camper |
| March 16-April 13 | $150 per camper |
| April 14-April 30 | $250 per camper |
| May 1 or later | $500 per camper |
| June 1 or later | Full Fee for cost of any reduced session(s). |
Schedule changes which increase the amount of time your child comes to camp and/or schedule changes initiated by the office based on a waiting list request will not incur change fees.
CANCELLATION DEADLINES AND FEES
| DATES | CHANGE FEE |
|---|---|
| By March 15 | $40 per camper |
| March 16-April 13 | $150 per camper |
| April 14-April 30 | $300 per camper |
| May 1 or later | No Refund |
Any cancellations after June 1 will lose full enrollment fees.
There are no refunds once a child has begun attending camp. The only exception is if the child cannot attend camp because of an extended illness or accident for two consecutive camp weeks or more. In this case, the camp will share the total loss in tuition with the parents by assuming one-half (1/2) of it in the form of credit on account, or refund, at the discretion of the Director. Proof of illness by written statement of a licensed physician is required for any type of credit offered by camp.
TSC reserves the right to dismiss a camper whose conduct, behavior or influence is unsatisfactory, or in the opinion of the director, not in the best interest of the program. There will be no refunds for this type of cancellation.
WAITING LIST
Due to limited capacity, each year some children are placed on a waiting list. If all spots are filled in a particular age group, applicants are automatically placed on the waiting list in the order in which the registration is received, and the parents are notified. We cannot add your child’s name to the waiting list without a completed registration and the $40 registration fee. The child will remain on the waiting list until a spot opens (in which case the parents will be immediately notified, and the $300 deposit balance will be charged).
PARENT BEHAVIOR
TSC considers the positive example parents set for their campers and the cooperation of parents essential for it to carry out its mission. Parents are expected to support all policies, rules, and regulations, and cooperate with and act with civility toward members of the TSC community, including our staff and contracted vendors providing service to TSC both on site and off site. Unacceptable parent behavior, including actively undermining any camp policy, may result in non-renewal or termination from Camper’s enrollment.
ABSENCES
Please call or email info@tsc.camp by 7:30 AM if your child is going to be absent. There is an answering machine to take your call when we are not in the office. Unfortunately, we are not able to accommodate any makeup days for missed Summer Camp.
BUDDY REQUESTS AND GUESTS
Campers are placed in groups upon enrollment. If your camper wants to be grouped with a friend, the request must be made when he/she is registered, and both campers must list each other. Buddy requests are not guaranteed, but every reasonable effort will be made to accommodate requests (1 friend request). Since camp has a full enrollment each year, campers may not bring guests.
ACTIVITIES
Swimming, horseback riding, archery and vigorous outdoor and recreational activities are all integral parts of the day camp program and are included as part of the total camp fee. Any physical activity, of course, has risk, but the camp administration believes that with proper supervision, the benefits derived far outweigh these risks.
SHIRTS
Two shirts are given to each camper enrolled in PC, SDC and OP campers on the first or second day of camp. More camp shirts are available for purchase.
PICTURES
Group Pictures are taken once each session. If your camper is absent, he/she will unfortunately not be in the picture. The camper will, however, receive a picture of his/her group with his/her counselors and friends.
TRANSPORTATION
Parents should plan to drop off and pick up at camp each day. There will be one big yellow bus pick up point at the LA Zoo area that will provide transportation to and from camp. Seats are limited and fees apply. Sign up at Registration.
