Policies

St. Thomas School Summer Camps are designed to further the school’s mission by providing both current STS students and school-age children from the community a range of enhancing experiences. Summer camps are exciting, hands-on, engaging activities designed to inspire children to continue learning throughout the summer months.

When does registration open?

Registration will open Monday, February 2 at 11:00 a.m. 

When is the last day I can sign up for a camp?
  • Registration closes the Monday before the camp start date at 11:59 p.m. For example, if camp begins June 22 that last day to register would be Monday, June 15. 
How does the waitlist work?
  • If a camp is full at the time of registration, you can add your camper to the waitlist. If an opening occurs, we will notify you by email. Openings only occur if someone transfers camps or cancels their registration.
  • Once notified via email, the first person on the waitlist will have 24 hours to confirm their registration acceptance for the camp before the next email is sent to the next person on the waitlist.
  • Due to the physical limitations of our classroom spaces and our required adult-to-camper ratios, we cannot add spaces to full camps.
What is the cancellation policy?

  • For camps cancelled before April 1, 2026, families will receive a refund minus a $50 non‑refundable registration fee.
  • For camps cancelled between April 1 and June 1, 2026, families will receive a refund minus a $150 non‑refundable cancellation fee.
  • No refunds will be issued for camps cancelled after June 1, 2026. To cancel your registration, please email STS Summer Camps with your name, your camper’s name, and your registration details.

Behavioral Policy

At STS, we want every child to have a positive and enriching camp experience. To ensure a safe and respectful environment for all, we ask that campers follow our behavioral guidelines

  • Campers are expected to treat their camp instructors, peers, and the STS campus with kindness and respect.
  • Campers must follow the instructions given by the camp instructors and STS summer camp staff.
  • If a camper is struggling to meet behavioral expectations, we may reach out to parents/guardians to discuss concerns.
  • In cases where behavioral expectations are not met, we reserve the right to send a camper home from camp.
