REFUNDS AND CANCELATIONS: Refunds must

be requested two weeks before the start of the requested

camp. Twenty percent 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. Participates will be notifi ed of cancelled

camps at least 7 days before the start of the camp. Fees

for canceled camps will be refunded or may be applied

to another camp.

NORFOLK COLLEGIATE’S EXTENDED DAY

PROGRAM: Morning and Afternoon Care is a place for

your child to get pumped in the morning for the day’s

activities, and to wind down after a full day of fun and ex-

citement. Each camper will be escorted by staff members

to his/her designated camp fi ve minutes before it begins.

An afternoon snack will be provided to campers enrolled

in Afternoon Care. The hours of extended day care are 7-9

a.m. and 3-6 p.m., and the fee is $30 per week for morning

care and $35 per week for afternoon care. This fee will not

be prorated. In case of an emergency, there is a one-time

drop-in rate of $12 per day for the morning or afternoon

session. There will not be extended care services provided

for camps at the Granby Street campus. Please contact

Alex Bartlett to make arrangements in the event that your

child might need transportation to the Lower School.

FIELD TRIPS: Some camps include fi eld trips in the
