What is the schedule for a Half Day Camp at Portside?
What is the schedule for a Full Day Camp at Portside?
What should my child bring to Portside on a camp day? For a Full Day Camp, children should bring a generous, healthy lunch, two snacks, and a refillable water bottle. For a Half Day Camp, students should bring a generous, healthy snack and refillable water bottle, keeping in mind that they will be at Portside for 6 full hours. My child attends a school that is not on the Half Day Camp pickup list. May my child attend the camp? Yes! Children from any school may attend Half Day Camps, but they must be dropped off at Portside. What if I want to pick my child up early? Parents are welcome to pick kids up early. It helps us to get them ready quickly if you are able to call ahead. What if I will be late picking up my child from camp? Full Day Camps end promptly at 5:30 PM. Half Day Camps end promptly at 6:00 PM. Please contact Portside as soon as you know you will be late picking up your child. Portside reserves the right to charge a late fee of $1 per minute for late pick ups. I just realized that I want my child to attend tomorrow's camp - is it too late to sign up? To secure your child's space, we must receive registration 24 hours in advance of camp. Please contact Portside if website registration is closed to verify that we can accommodate your child. What happens if I need to cancel a Full or Half Day Camp single enrollment or bundle? Families may cancel single camp enrollments up to 10 days prior to the date of the camp, and will receive a refund or credit minus a $10 cancellation fee. Cancellations made within 10 days of the program date will not be issued a refund or credit. No full or partial refunds are available for Term Camp bundles. How do the Term Bundles work? Purchasing a Term Bundle enrolls your child in every full and half day camp that Portside has scheduled during a particular term. The bundles give families a $5 per camp discount, and make it easier for families to plan after-school care for their child. On rare occasions, Portside camp dates may be canceled, changed or added to reflect changes in the Philadelphia School District calendar. Camps may also be cancelled due to insufficient enrollment. Families who purchase a term bundle will have the option to purchase any added camps during the term with a $5 per camp discount. Also, a pro-rated reduction will be applied to your package should the number of camp dates in the term be reduced due to Philadelphia School District calendar changes. TERM DAY CAMP PACKAGES ARE NONREFUNDABLE. |
