Registration

All registrations will be processed online at pdsmemphis.org/summer, and a confirmation email will be sent to you when you have correctly completed the registration process.

Admission

Admission is granted to qualified students in the order in which our database receives your registration. Registration will remain open online until a week prior to the first day of camp unless a registration deadline is specifically stated. Many classes fill up, so we encourage you to enroll early.

Payment

Payment for each class is due up front at the time of registration. If, at any time, you need to cancel your reservation, a $50 cancellation fee will be applied to your refund. If, one week prior to the first day of a camp, registration is deemed to be insufficient, PDS reserves the right to cancel that camp. If this were to occur, your payment would be refunded in full. Unfortunately, PDS is unable to prorate a camp fee for any day(s) your child may miss, however, certain full-day camps do allow for drop-ins at the rate of $50 per child, per full day. Cancellations before June 1 will not be charged a fee.

Dress

T-shirt, shorts, socks, and athletic shoes are most appropriate. Sandals are allowed, but athletic shoes are required for gym and field activities. Students are encouraged to bring either a pullover or a jacket for indoor activities, as our air-conditioned rooms can be chilly.

Snacks and Lunch

Snacks are provided by PDS during all of our camps, though children staying for the full day will need to pack their own lunch.

A supervised lunch break will be provided at no extra charge for full-day students.

Drop-off and Dismissal Locations

If a camper is attending a camp held in the Early Childhood building, drop-off and dismissal will be at the Early Childhood entrance. If a camper attends a class held in the Elementary building or in the gym, dropoff and dismissal will be the main school lobby.

Appropriate entrances will be signposted.

Behavior

It is expected that every student attending PDS Summer Camp follow school procedures and standards of behavior. Consideration of others in thought and action is expected. PDS reserves the right to require the withdrawal of any student who poses a discipline problem or a disruption to the learning process. No refunds will be issued for students who are asked to withdraw.

Before/After-Camp PDS Summer Camps run for seven weeks, from June 15 to July 27. Dropoff/check-in for morning camps begins each day at 8:30am. Camp ends each day at 3pm.
