FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is UltraCamp?
UltraCamp is a registration & account platform we have chosen for Adventure Camp. You can register for our camps at the link above and create an account. Upon registration, parents/guardians can log into this account to manage registrations, make payments, fill out forms, and much more!
Why does Adventure Camp take a mid-summer break?
The mid-summer break is designed to allow us to provide two weeks of highly discounted half-day camps for our community. You can find more information here in April. These camps are typically around $20 for 4 days of 9:00am - 12:00pm camp, providing an opportunity for more kids to have an amazing camp experience during the summer. Your child is more than welcome to join us there instead of Adventure Camp for those weeks!
In addition, one of our core values at Adventure Camp is having trained and highly relational staff. Even though the camp activities are awesome, our staff are what make the experience great for each camper. This two week break gives each staff member an opportunity to be refreshed and ready to serve your child in the best way possible.
What can my child expect at Adventure Camp?
Each child is grouped with kids in their grade and rotates through activities such as field games, creative projects, cooking, indoor games, etc. These activities are designed as much as possible to match the theme for the week. In general, children stay with their same grade but may be combined with a similar age group for some parts of the day. Lunch, snacks, small group times, and quiet time are regularly scheduled each day for the same time slots. The planned activities are different each day, but some things tend to happen at similar points in the week:
Water Activities are generally planned for Wednesday (weather & schedule permitting).
Field trips are generally planned for Thursday (weather & schedule permitting).

Who can attend Adventure Camp?
Kids that will be in Kindergarten - 5th grade for the 2024-2025 academic year are welcome to attend Adventure Camp.
How much does a week at Adventure Camp cost? How much is before care, after care, and lunch?
The price for Adventure Camp depends on when a registration is processed.
January / February: $350 per week during Early Bird Registration!
March / April / May: $375 per week during Spring Registration!
June / July / August: $400 per week is our standard rate.
Campers admitted from the waitlist will be charged based on when they joined the waitlist, not when the camper was added from the waitlist. There is no initial fee to join a waitlist if a camp is full.
In addition, we offer a sibling discount of $30 off for each additional child which is automatically applied on your registration. “On The Menu” is discounted as we have a short week for Independence Day.
Before care, after care, and lunch can be included each week for an additional cost. These can be added to each registration via your online account.
Before Care: 8:00am - 9:00am // $12 per day ($50 when registering for the whole week at once)
After Care: 4:00pm - 5:30pm // $14 per day ($60 when registering for the whole week at once)
Lunch: $7 per day for each child attending. The menu and registration options will be provided closer to summer.
Registrations can be paid in full, or spots are reservable with a non-refundable deposit of $50 per week. The remainder due is auto-billed about a week prior to camp.
When does registration for each week close?
Registration closes when each week reaches capacity OR on the Wednesday before camp begins. We need this lead time to know how many supplies to purchase and to give our field trip locations final numbers.
Are camp t-shirts provided?
Yes! Each child's first registration of the summer includes a shirt. We ask that all kids wear this shirt whenever we are leaving the campus for a field trip. T-shirts can be picked up on the first day of camp.
Can I register my child for camp without paying a deposit?
We are unable to accept registrations without a deposit of $50 per week for each child. This deposit is non-refundable. Deposits are required to help us better forecast attendance for each week. Purchasing, staging, planning, and staffing are largely dependent on the number of students attending camp.
When is the balance of payment for camp due?
The balance left to pay for each week is due one week before each camp begins. Any amount owed will be auto-charged to the credit card / bank account associated with your registration on that date. You can make early payments, add registrations, and choose “add-ons” from your online account.
Can I register my child for a partial week?
We are only able to accept registrations for whole weeks. We do not offer discounted rates for missed days of camp.
Can my child’s registration be transferred to another week?
Yes! Instead of canceling a week & losing the deposit, we highly recommend transferring your child’s registration to another week BEFORE final payment is processed for the camp. This can be done by calling, emailing, or visiting the Adventure Camp desk.
When a week is transferred, please keep in mind that we will charge whatever the current rate is for that week of camp. For example, if you book a week at our “Early Bird Rate” in February and then call to transfer it to a different week in April, we will charge the $25 difference to your account. ($350 = Early Bird Registration , $375 = Spring Registration).
Transferring a week means you do not lose the $50 non-refundable deposit, as long as the transfer is made before the final payment due date for your registration.
How can I cancel a registration?
Cancellations can be processed by visiting your online account or by calling, emailing, or visiting the front desk. Please keep in mind that we make purchasing decisions, hire staff, and plan programming based on each child’s registration. We will be unable to refund deposits for canceled registrations. Additional amounts paid beyond the deposit are non-refundable if the cancellation occurs after final billing for the registration.
