WELCOME! Welcome to the 2021 summer programs at Harpeth Hall School. For over 17 years, Harpeth Hall has offered a robust and diverse selection of summer opportunities for girls in Middle Tennessee, and this year is no exception. Whether it is serving a tennis ball or serving others, catching bugs or catching basketballs, stringing a violin or stringing gemstones, there is so much to try this summer at Harpeth Hall. The summer programs offer the same excellence in teaching, leadership, and coaching displayed at our school throughout the year. Echoing Harpeth Hall’s mission, this summer we will teach your girl to think critically, to lead confidently, and to live honorably — and have fun, too! I welcome you to look through the brochure with your daughter and discover for yourself why I say “Harpeth Hall has it all!” Register today at HarpethHall.org. Sincerely, Carol Garaby Auxiliary Programs Director carol.garaby@harpethhall.org

STEM Summer Institute (SSI), which launched in 2011, is our premier research-based STEM program where girls use the engineering design process to solve real-world problems. This two-week camp brings together girls from schools all over the Nashville area for an opportunity to model true integration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in a domain that is naturally appealing to girls: serving other girls in a global setting. This year, we will partner with the Lwala Community Alliance to solve a challenge facing the Lwala community in Kenya, Africa. Students will research, design, build, and test prototype solutions for the Lwala community. They will visit local labs and engage in conversations with a diverse group of women in STEM. At the end of camp, students will present their research projects to a team of STEM professionals. Participating in SSI is an honor, and students who attend proudly represent their schools. Prior STEM experience is not necessary; however, we want students who are eager to learn, willing to think creatively, and who want to work as a team. New students must provide a recommendation from a teacher. Acceptance is granted on a rolling basis, so please consider applying as soon as possible. SSI requires a separate application from the Harpeth Hall summer camps. Scholarships are available on an as-needed basis. Please see: www.harpethhall.org/programs/ summer-camps

Payment and refunds

Full payment is due with each registration to ensure your daughter a place in the camp of her choice. Credit cards are the only form of payment accepted. All timely registrations will be acknowledged by email prior to the start of each program. Early registration is advised. Each program has limited capacity, and registration is on a first-come, first-served 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.

Cancellation

In case of a camper’s withdrawal from the program, the Auxiliary Programs Director must be notified via email before May 1, 2021, or full payment will still be due. A $50 cancellation fee will be charged. No refunds will be granted after May 1, 2021.

Notification of cancellation of a program will be done as early as possible and a refund will be issued.

Frequently Asked Questions 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.

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, but the fees will not be reduced. We are a peanut free campus.

What if my daughter doesn’t know anyone in her camp session or camp grouping?

A majority of girls do not know anyone in their group on the first day of camp. This is why Harpeth Hall summer programs go above and beyond to make girls feel comfortable at 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.
