• SPARK Camp and CFE Crossover

  If a camper attends a Center for Excellence class  Monday through Friday for three hours or longer and attends SPARK Day Camp for the remainder of the camp day, he or she will receive half off the SPARK Day Camp fee. The SPARK Day Camp crossover must be selected as a session option in the registration system to receive this discount. If a camper chooses to participate in a Center for Excellence program in addition to SPARK Day Camp, he or she will eat lunch with a counselor in the time between activities.

• Payment and Fees

  Center for Excellence fees are listed on each offering. Fees include all activities and supplies unless otherwise noted. Payments for Center for Excellence sessions are due in full at the time of registration.

  
  

  SPARK Day Camp requires a $25 deposit for each camper registered in each session. Payment of the balance is due on the first day of camp that week. Parents can bring payment to the registration desk on the first day of the week, they can make a payment in CampBrain or SPARK can charge their card on the first day of camp.
