Payment and refunds:

What will I eat?

Go to www.harpethhall.org and click on Summer Programs to plan your amazing summer. NOTE: For families with more than one camper, register and select camps for each of your children separately.

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. Because each program has limited capacity, registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration will continue on a space-available 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.

In addition:

In case of a camper’s withdrawal from the program, the External Programs Coordinator must be notified via email before May 1, 2017, or full payment will still be due. A $50 cancellation fee will be charged. No refunds will be granted AFTER May 1, 2017, except for course cancellation. Harpeth Hall reserves the right to cancel a program if it is not filled to satisfaction or if unforeseen circumstances should occur. Notification of cancellation of a program will be done as early as possible and a refund will be issued.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: How do I sign up?

Campers should complete the registration form online and make their payment by credit card only. Online registration is preferred for all camps. To register, go to www. harpethhall.org and click on Summer Programs. Register each camper separately.

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 or snacks, but the fees will not be reduced.

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

An overwhelming majority of girls do not know anyone in their group on the first day of camp. This is why Harpeth Hall Summer Programs goes above and beyond to make girls feel comfortable on campus while in 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.
