Scholarships – Financial aid is available for students in need of assistance. Scholarships are awarded on a first come, first served basis, for as long as funds are available.  Full scholarships are only awarded in cases of extreme hardship.

Materials – The camp fee covers the cost of all materials. Occasionally, instructors may ask children to bring in special items for a project such as copies of family photos or blank CDs.

Drop off & Pick up – On the first day of each session, please arrive at ACA Downtown: Harris House between 8:15 AM and 8:45 AM to finalize registration. After the first day, please arrive to the back of ACA Downtown: Harris House between 8:30 AM than 8:50 AM.

Let us know if your child should be isolated from the group during lunch.

Health Concerns & Allergies – Parents must advise us of any health concerns including, but not limited to allergies. It is important for us to be apprised of any behavioral or medical issues. This information is held in the strictest confidence by ACA staff and is only available to Camp Instructors at staff discretion.

Disabilities Policy – It is ACA’s sincere wish that our programs be open and accessible to all participants, regardless of ability. ACA is open to enrollment of camp participation with disabilities on a trial basis. This is done with the understanding that some participants may require the presence and assistance of a parent or guardian to provide additional assistance. If at any time ACA staff feels that the participant is experiencing ongoing challenges or difficulties in the camp environment that have a disruptive effect on the group, ACA reserves the right to ask that participation be discontinued.

Refund Policy – In cases of registration cancellation, a refund of the full tuition, minus the $30 non-refundable deposit must be requested one week prior to the first day of the session.

Gift Certificates – Gift Certificates must be paid in full, for the full tuition amount. ($105 ACA members/$130 nonmembers) Member status refers to the purchaser of the Gift Certificate (not the recipient) at the time of purchase. One Gift Certificate = one child, one session.
