Payment of weekly balances is due five (5) business days prior to the start of each registered camp week. Payments can be made by logging into CampBrain and selecting “View Details” under a camper’s registration listing, then selecting “New Payment'' in the Financial pane on the right side of the screen.

    For campers who are participating in a morning and afternoon CFE session in the same week who need to remain on campus for the hour between sessions, there is a mandatory holding fee that includes a provided lunch. You may choose to have your camper picked up for the hour between activities and return to campus in time for their next camp session.

  • CFE & SPARK Day Camp Crossovers

    If a camper registers to attend a Center for Excellence class that is scheduled for Monday through Friday, for three hours or longer, and registers to attend SPARK Day Camp for the remainder of the camp day, she will receive half off the SPARK fee. The SPARK crossover discount will be applied after an application has been submitted. If a camper chooses to participate in a Center for Excellence program in addition to SPARK, she will join her SPARK camp group in time for lunch each day.
  • Cancellations & Refunds

    SPARK Day Camp and Center for Excellence fees are refunded in full when the offering is canceled by Hutchison.
