St. Joan of Arc School offers 11 full weeks of STEM Summer Camp taught by certified teachers! Each week is themed and will incorporate theme-related academic domains with exciting activities. Camp runs from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm (new, extended hours) on Monday through Friday. You may register for one or more weeks. The cost is $200 per week per child and includes a snack. A $25 non-refundable registration fee per child AND a $10 per week deposit is required at registration. Camp must be paid in full one-month prior to the start date each week.
This year, we are using a new registration and payment software called Camp Network! We believe this software will help us to streamline the registration and payment process, making it easier both for you as a parent, and for us as a school. You will be able to click the registration link and sign up for any sessions you would like.
During registration, you will have the opportunity to:
Camp starts June 8, 2020!
2020 Camp Themes: Animals | Transportation | State of Matter | Space | Dinosaurs | Olympics | Nature | Shark Week | Save the Planet | Chemistry | Rain Forest | Mystery
Note: Priority registration will be given to both students (and siblings) currently enrolled at St. Joan of Arc School, as well as students who have previously attended our STEM Camp. Check your email for registration details.
REGISTRATION LINK WILL BE OPEN FOR PUBLIC ON MARCH 2. Check back then to register your child.

You will be able to click the registration link and sign up for any sessions you would like.
During registration, you will have the opportunity to:
- REQUIRED: Register for the session "00-Registration Fee (Required - 1 per child)." This is how we will collect your non-refundable registration fee.
- Register your child(ren) for up to 11 weeks of STEM camp! You will only be able to register one child at a time, but the software will allow you to pre-fill answers from a previous registration when registering additional children, to make filling out the forms easier.
- Choose your child's t-shirt size and buy additional shirts. This year, as a part of registration, your child will receive a camp t-shirt. You may purchase additional t-shirts as you wish, for an additional $12 per shirt. (Optional)
- Sign up for text alerts. This software allows the camp directors to send out a mass text to those parents who choose to opt-in. This cost is an additional $2.99 per week. This is a great way to stay connected, however, all communications that are sent by text will also be sent via email for those who have opted-out of the texting service.
- View camp documents and policies. You will be able to review the camp handbook (once completed) and the camp's refund, behavior, and cancellation policies.
- REQUIRED: Pay a $10 deposit for each week for which you've registered. While your camp payment isn't due in full until a month prior to the start of camp, a deposit will be due upon registration. Our new software requires at least a minimum deposit for each week. Without doing a deposit, we would have to bill you in full at the time of registration.

Payment Information
Cost: $200 per week (per child)
We are doing payments differently this year. In previous years, we've had several children not show up for camp each week without prior notice. This resulted in a financial loss to the school; and a lack of notice made it impossible for our wait listed children to attend camp. To mitigate these issues, we are doing payments differently now. We hope the new policies will ensure that all camp spots are filled by children who will actually attend each week.
2 Ways to Pay:
Payments are due IN FULL 1 month prior to the week your child is attending. For example, if your child is attending week 1 that starts on Monday, June 8, your payment is due by Friday, May 8 at 4:00 pm. If your payment is not received on time, your child may not be able to attend camp that week as we will be giving unfilled spots to our wait listed children.
Waitlist:
If you are on the wait list for any week, you will be notified as soon as a spot opens up for your child. Open spots will be filled by registration date. For example, a person who registered on April 3, will be ahead of a person who registered on April 15. If no spots open up, you will be notified the Friday prior to that week.

NEW! Camp Policies
Cancellation & Refund Policy
Once paid, registration fees for summer camp and any related events are non-refundable, unless someone is on the waitlist and can replace your child. If this is true, your $200 camp fee may be returned to you, however, the $25 registration fee is non-refundable. No refunds will be given for children who do not show up for camp without prior notice (minimum two weeks notice).
Behavior Policy
Children who misbehave will be separated from the rest of the group and may not be able to participate in some of the day’s activities, as decided by the camp teachers. Children who intentionally hurt others will be completely removed from the classroom in an effort to protect the rest of the group. If any child is constantly and intentionally hurting others throughout the week, he or she may be asked to leave camp and not return. If this is the case for your child, you may be asked to pick him or her up in the middle of the day, depending on the gravity of the situation. This is our way of keeping all of our campers safe throughout the week. Any child who is asked to leave camp because of violent or aggressive behavior will not be subject to a refund.
Late Pick-Up Policy
Any child who is picked up after 5:05 pm will be subject to a late fee of $15 per 15 minutes after 5:00 pm. For example, a child who is picked up after 5:15 pm will owe a $15 late fee. A child who is picked up after 5:30 pm will owe a $30 late fee. Children who are consistently not picked up on time may be asked to find other summer arrangements. Please respect our teachers’ time and pick-up your children by 5:00 pm.
