FAQS
When does the registration process begin? |
|---|
|
Registration, including for new families, opens on Thursday, February 5 at noon. |
Can I register for camp online? |
| Yes, a link for online registration is available on this page. Please register for camps by Friday each week before your camp starts the following week. |
Can I pay for summer camps with a credit card? |
| Yes, we do accept credit cards and checks. We are no longer offering student billing though FACTS for Collegiate families. Checks should be made out to "Collegiate Summer Quest" The Collegiate School/Summer Quest |
How does the deposit process work when I register my child? |
| Prior to May 15, each participant must submit a nonrefundable 50% deposit for each camp for which your child is registering. (Example: If your child registers for four $230 camps, you must submit a deposit of $115 X 4 = $460.) The total deposit (if your child registers for multiple camps or if you have multiple children registering for camps) can be paid online or by check written out to "Collegiate Summer Quest." The deposit is nonrefundable unless your child does not get placed in a camp because it is already full. The Summer Quest Office cannot reserve a spot for your child until we receive the registration form and a 50% deposit for each registered camp. The deposit is a portion of the total tuition for each camp; therefore, if you pay a $115 deposit for a $230 camp, your remaining balance is $115. The remaining balance for all camps is due by May 15 in order to hold your child's spot in that camp. |
Can I register for camps after the May 15 payment deadline? |
| Yes, you can still register for any Summer Quest camp after May 15, but many camps will be filled by that date. When you register for a camp after May 15, you must submit the full camp fee (rather than just the 50% deposit). Prior to May 15, you may reserve your child's spot in a camp by paying a nonrefundable deposit of 50% per camp. By May 15, you must pay the remaining balance due to continue to hold your child's enrollment in that camp. If we do not receive the remainder of the tuition by May 15, your child will be removed from the camp and that spot will be filled with a camper from the waiting list. (Many camps' enrollments fill prior to May 15.) The 50% per camp deposit is nonrefundable unless a camp is cancelled by Summer Quest. If a participant chooses to change his or her registration, a written notice must be sent to summerquest@collegiate-va.org two weeks prior to the start of the camp. The two-week notice will qualify the participant for a payment voucher, minus the deposit, that must be used during the current summer. If a two-week notice is not sent, no payment voucher or refund will be issued. The camp credit cannot be transferred to next year but may be applied to a sibling camp. |
How do I know if a camp is full, and what is the waitlist process? |
| If you are trying to register online and a camp is full, the system will automatically notify you that you are being placed on a waiting list. If you are placed on a waiting list, no payment is due at that time. If a space becomes available, the Summer Quest Office will contact you to see if you would still like to enroll in that camp. |
How do the Campbrain virtual waiting rooms work during registration? |
|
CampBrain uses virtual waiting rooms to give families fair, low-stress access to registration. Camps appear at noon, and if the site is busy, you’ll:
During high-traffic periods, a countdown pre-queue may appear, with spots randomly assigned for fair access. |
What is the Summer Quest sunscreen policy? |
| Parents/guardians should apply sunscreen (if needed) on their campers prior to the start of camp. Please note that the Collegiate Summer Quest staff will not be responsible for providing sunscreen, applying, or reapplying sunscreen on your camper. Your camper will need to be able to apply and reapply the sunscreen on their own. If sunscreen is sent with your camper, it should be placed in a sealed plastic bag, labeled with your child's first and last name and should be stored in their personal bag/backpack. Collegiate Summer Quest staff will not collect or store sunscreen brought in by campers. You may also want to provide your student with a labeled hat, sun shirt or other sun protective clothing as well as a water bottle. |
