Cancellation/Transfers
We understand that life happens, and most of the time at the last minute. However, we can not provide the best for the children without an accurate count of attendees. The $40 deposit per camp will not be refunded regardless of the reason of cancellation.
To be considered for ANY refund, you must provide a written statement of cancellation before the given guidelines.
To receive a full (less the $40 deposit), you must cancel by May 15 for June camps and by June 15 for July camps.
If you cancel at least 5 days before the beginning of the camp, you may request a transfer of the registration to another camp.
If you cancel less than 5 days before a camp, you will not be eligible for transfer or refund.

Recreation and Pool Time
The pool will be available Mondays – Fridays unless the condition of the pool will not allow the children to participate in pool time safely (i.e. it is thundering, or the pool becomes chemically imbalanced). We will have other activities scheduled to fill the time.
If the children do not swim, for whatever reason, we will have counselors around the campus with alternative activities to participate in. We discourage children to bring valuable toys to camp. Our director, teachers, and counselors, nor the school in any way, will be responsible for lost or stolen items (though we try to prevent either as much as possible).

Session Limits
Each weekly session is limited to a maximum of 75 participants. Registrations are accepted on a first-paid, first-enrolled basis. To ensure your child gets the camps of his or her choice, early registration is recommended.

Age Groupings
While the session themes remain the same for all ages, participants will be grouped according to the grade level they will enter in fall of the 2008-09 school year. Activities will vary among the groups to provide grade-appropriate content. We can not place children in an older group due to physical and social concerns. Our staff is trained to spot the children that are advanced and adapt the camp to them. When applicable, groups may be combined for selected classes and recreational activities.
- Neophytes: 1st-2nd Grades
- Juniors: 3rd-4th Grades
- Seniors: 5th Grades
- Please see STEMS Up for children older than rising 5th graders.

Behavior Problems
We want our summer camps to have the most conducive environment for learning and fun, we have to make sure that everyone is respecting their teachers, assistants, and fellow classmates. The teacher will handle the first incidence of behavior problems. If the problem continues, the camp director will be notified and parents will be contacted. Involvement in any sort of physical or verbal violence will not be tolerated under any circumstances and will be cause for immediate and permanent dismissal from SPSU’s youth summer camps. You will not receive a refund if you child is asked to leave camp.

Check-in/Check-out
Check-in and check-out can be very hectic parts of the day. Therefore, please follow the correct procedure.
Check-in:
Student drop off is located in the Joe Mack Wilson Student Center lobby (please note the directional signs). Children should be accompanied from the parking lot to the lobby by a parent/adult.
Check-out:
We will require a valid picture i.d. to pick up your child (every day). If someone is picking up your child other than you, they must be listed on the Student Information Form or you must provide a written letter of approval to us before they come. We will ask you to sign-out the child on the appropriate check-out form.
