All Registrations Can be Done Online!<\/h3>\n

All registrations, including full day and half-day options, should be completed online and will automatically include qualifying discounts.<\/p>\n

If you encounter problems with online registration, please call 615-353-2151. <\/em><\/p>\n

For issues with your membership and signing into your membership, please contact the membership department at 615 353-6984. <\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Age Limits<\/h3>\n

For all camps, campers must be within the posted age range on or before the first day of the registered class in order to enroll.

Lunch Care<\/h3>\n

If you are registering for a full day camp or a morning and afternoon camp for a single camper the same week, you do not<\/strong> need to purchase lunch care. That cost has been factored into the new camp rates.<\/p>\n

If you are sending your camper for a half day camp only and need to add lunch care (12:00 \u2013 1:00 PM) to extend your camper\u2019s day, please email education@cheekwood.org<\/a> for the link to register. These spots do not fill up and can be added at any time, including at the start of the week of camp. Lunch care costs $25\/per week per camper.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Cancellation Policy<\/h3>\n

Due to an increased number of late cancellations in recent years, we have instituted a new policy to better serve our families on the waitlist and encourage timely cancellations that allow a spot to be filled.<\/p>\n

If a refund is requested more than 30 days before the start date of the camp session(s), a 50% refund will be issued.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If a refund is requested with less than 30 days before the start date of the camp session(s), no refund will be issued <\/strong><\/p>\n

Registration cancellations\/changes cannot be completed online. Please email education@cheekwood.org<\/a> to request a cancellation.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Please note:<\/strong> We do not offer refunds for missed days of camp. Camps cancelled by Cheekwood because of low enrollment will automatically be refunded in full. You will be notified no less than 5 days in advance if a class is cancelled, and we will try to accommodate your child in another camp session. <\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]

Special Needs<\/h3>\n

Cheekwood will make every attempt to serve campers who require special attention or consideration. However, as we are not a special needs camp, there may be some needs that we are unable to meet if they are beyond our training. If your child has a special need or a life-threatening allergy, please contact Summer Camp staff at (615) 353-2151 to discuss their need before registering. We want to prepare the staff and teachers in advance so that we can make your camper\u2019s experience the best and safest it can be. Camper Aids must be at least 18 years or older.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

48-Hour Illness Policy<\/h3>\n

Your child must remain free of fever or vomiting for 48 hours before returning to camp. The 48 hours begin when your child last vomits or when the fever has broken and remains in a normal range.
\nCheekwood does not refund missed camp days in the event of illness.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Summer Camp FAQ<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]
