Summer Camp 2024
All of your questions about Summer Camp 2024 answered!
First things first, camp registration will open on February 28 at 6:30am. Camps sell out quickly, but here’s a tip: if your chosen camp is “sold out”, check back 15 or 20 minutes later. Any camps that were being held in the shopping cart, but not purchased, will be released. Be sure to get on the waiting list. Families’ plans change from March to summer, so there is a lot of movement. Wait list spots are released automatically on a first come-first serve basis.
WHO: Each session will have two groups: Littles (1st-3rd grade) Bigs (4th-6th grade)
Based on several years of experience, we have decided that the younger age cut-off will be those entering 1st grade. Campers must have finished Kindergarten to attend. We know there are plenty of kids entering kindergarten who are old for their age, who have older siblings, etc. Please respect our decision and do not request a waiver. And please do not sign up your child if they have not completed kindergarten. They will be removed from camp, and no refunds will be issued.
*If your child is currently in 3rd grade, you may choose whether to enroll them in Littles or Bigs.

GLUTEN-FREE CAMP:
During our Prep Week, getting ready for camp, we will do a thorough sanitation of the kitchen, and remove all foods containing gluten. The recipes will not simply be modifications for children with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. The meals we make will be appealing to all campers. (Dishes with rice, potatoes, corn, legumes, and veggies are all naturally gluten free!)
*If this particular week does not work for your child, you may consider the Local Bounty Camp and the Plant Powered Kids camp – we will be able to easily accommodate a gluten-free diet.
*In order to ensure that the children who need this camp the most can attend it, we will open registration early:
48 hours early for children with celiac disease
24 hours early for children with a legitimate gluten allergy or intolerance
(At AtoZ, we believe in karma – if you sign your child up for early registration, and they don’t need it, a child who needs this inclusive activity will miss out.)
