SUMMER UNDER THE OAK at NORFOLK COLLEGIATEWith five uniquely designed centers of activity, “Summer under the Oak” has something to offer every member of your family, from adults to children, ages five and up.

We invite you to review our centers, categorized by academic advancement, athletics, enrichment, experiential learning and lifelong learning. We offer a full spectrum of sports camps for the athlete in the family, as well as fun and exciting courses available through our enrichment center.

Curious about how to develop a video game? Want to see if you have what it takes to command a stage? Join us for hands-on experiences in the center for experiential learning.

Our team of instructors has been carefully selected, and most programs are taught by Norfolk Collegiate’s own faculty and staff members. We are proud to offer the Hampton Roads community such dynamic programs taught by experienced teachers.

We hope you will take advantage of these fantastic opportunities and join the Norfolk Collegiate family for a memorable Summer under the Oak!

REGISTRATION Applications may be completed online at norfolkcollegiate.org/summerprograms mailed to: Norfolk Collegiate Summer Programs 5429 Tidewater Drive Norfolk, VA 23509 or turned into the office. No faxed applications will be accepted. Completed applications and fees are due ONE WEEK PRIOR to the start of each session.

REQUIRED FORMS AND IDENTIFICATION In accordance with the Virginia State Law and the Virginia Department of Social Services, Norfolk Collegiate School requires the following information from each registered participant:

• A copy of the student’s Virginia Health Form. (You can obtain a copy from your school. Current Norfolk Collegiate students will already have one on file).

• Identification verification through a copy of the participant’s birth certificate, passport, child military ID OR proof of enrollment at a Virginia school (example: copy of a report card).

CONFIRMATIONS Your child will not be confirmed in a camp until pay-ment and all of the following documents have been received by the summer programs office: application, Virginia Health Form and identification verification document. Once received, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to each participant, which will include gen-eral camp guidelines and any additional information related to their specific camp.

REFUNDS AND CANCELLATIONS Refunds must be requested in writing two weeks prior to the start of the requested camp. Twenty per-cent of the total fee is non-refundable. No refund will be given if a camper is dismissed due to disciplinary action. Norfolk Collegiate Summer Programs reserve the right to cancel any camp due to low enrollment. Fees for cancelled camps will be refunded or may be applied to another camp.

PICK-UP AND DROP-OFF PROCEDURES We ask that all campers be escorted by a guardian to their assigned camp room or meeting place. There will be guides available to direct you to your camper’s location on the first day. Pick-up will also take place in the child’s assigned location. Camp doors will open for drop-off five minutes prior to the start of camp.

Page 5: 2014 Summer under the Oak Guide

Any participants who need to arrive earlier will be signed into The Grove. A late fee will be charged for students not picked up on time.

THE GROVE (NORFOLK COLLEGIATE’S EXTENDED DAY PROGRAM) The Grove is designed to be your child’s home away from home during their time at Norfolk Collegiate. This is a place for your child to get pumped up in the morning for the day’s activities and to wind down af-ter a full day of fun and excitement. Participants will be greeted by the same group of loving Grove staff on a daily basis. Each camper will be escorted by staff members to their designated camp five minutes be-fore it begins. The Grove also has a separate pre-teen room, so every child will find their niche. Between music and socializing, and games and crafts, the options are endless in The Grove. The hours of The Grove are 7-9 a.m. and 3-6 p.m., and the fee is $55 per week. This fee will not be prorated. A late fee will be charged for students not picked up by 6 p.m.

FIELD TRIPS Some camps include field trips in the local area. Transportation for these trips is provided by school buses with certified drivers. Norfolk Collegiate School Summer Program teachers accompany camp-ers on all field trips. Your registration form includes blanket field trip permission; however, you will be notified of specific field trips before they occur.

EMERGENCY/MEDICAL INFORMATION Please provide detailed information for your child in the medical and emergency contact section of the application. In order for your child to attend camp, we must have a copy on file of their Virginia Health Form, which includes an immunization record and recent physical. If medication must be given to your child during camp hours (including epi-pens and medica-tion related to asthma), a separate form for medication administration and authorization must be completed by the parent/guardian and child’s physician. Please contact the Summer Program’s Office for this form. All medication must be dropped off in the Summer Program’s Office by the parent/guardian.

LUNCH AND SNACK For full-day camps, lunch is a part of the daily routine and is INCLUDED IN THE COST PER CAMP. Students may bring their own snacks for the morn-ing and afternoon snack time, or they may purchase snacks at our camp store. The camp store will be open in the morning and afternoon.

T-SHIRTS Each participant will receive one camp T-shirt with his/her paid registration. Please be sure to include the participant’s shirt size on the appli-cation.

CLOTHING AND PERSONAL ITEMS All clothing, equipment, electronic devices and other personal items should be labeled with your child’s name. Norfolk Collegiate will not be responsible for any lost items.

STAFFStaff members have been carefully selected to ensure that all students have a safe and enriching summer experience. Each program has been created by a qualified coordinator who will lead the day-to-day activities. Additional assistance may be provided by camp counselors and junior counselors.
