Can my child do complete my day if they are not enrolled in other camps that week?

You can! Complete My Day can also be used as a half-day option. “Complete My Day: Morning” runs from 7:30-12:30, and includes morning snack and lunch. “Complete My Day: Afternoon” runs from 11:30-3:30, and includes lunch and afternoon popsicle. Both cost $100 and run Monday through Friday.

How does Extended Care work?

For Extended Care in the summer, you pay $50 total for the week. This provides Extended Care from 3:30-5:30. There are no drop-in options during the summertime.

How do I pay for camps?

UMS-Wright families can expect to have their FACTS accounts charged the week of the camp. Families outside of UMS-Wright must bring a check the morning of the first day of camp made payable to UMS-Wright.

What is the deadline for camp registration?

The deadline for camp registration is the Thursday prior to the start of that camp. This is a hard deadline, and no registrations will be taken afterwards. Camp welcome e-mails are typically sent the Friday prior to the start of camp.

Can my child attend UMS-Wright Programs if he/she is not enrolled as a UMS-Wright student?

If your child is 5 and older, yes! Please know that whether your child is or isn’t a UMS-Wright student, your child is expected to abide by the UMS-Wright StudentParent Handbook.
