All timely registrations will be acknowledged by email prior to the start of each program. Early registration is advised. Because each program has limited capacity, registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration will continue on a space-available basis. If programs fill, a waiting list will be created. You will be notified as early as possible if your child has been placed on a waiting list. At that time, please let us know if you wish for your child’s name to remain on the waiting list.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:How do I sign up?Campers should complete the registration form online and make their payment by credit card only. Online registration is preferred for all camps. To register, go to www. harpethhall.org and click on Summer Programs. Register each camper separately.

What should I bring?It’s a good idea to always have a water bottle and sunscreen if the camp is outdoors. If a camper does not have the proper equipment, it will be provided. Wear comfortable clothing and appropriate shoes.

What will I eat?If a camper is registered for a full-day camp or has chosen the option to “make a day,” a healthy lunch with several options will be available to her in the Dining Hall. Campers may opt to bring their own lunch or snacks, but the fees will not be reduced.

What if my daughter doesn’t know anyone in her camp session or camp grouping?An overwhelming majority of girls do not know anyone in their group on the first day of camp. This is why Harpeth Hall Summer Programs goes above and beyond to make girls feel comfortable on campus while in camp. Remember, teaching girls is all we do. Both faculty leaders and high school counselors encourage girls to make new friends while participating in camp.
