* Parents must provide their own transportation to/from camp. If your student can safely walk to/from Central, they can do so.
Campers will need to sign up for each session (day) separately - unless otherwise noted. (Some camps do run for multiple days!)
Please do not sign up for more than one session per day as all sessions are occurring at the same time!
*Space is limited for all camp sessions! Session sign-ups are done on a first come/first serve basis. It is expected that sessions will fill very quickly. If you would like to be put on a waiting list for a specific session, please email Mrs. Albright (malbright@pennridge.org)

Summer Fun Camp is no longer grant-funded. This year, the camp must rely entirely on paid enrollments. If minimum enrollment numbers are not met, sessions will be cancelled.
Cost:
Each session/day costs $25, plus any applicable materials fees (noted after each session description).
Confirmation:
On May 26th, Mrs. Albright will email all registered families with a confirmation of which sessions will be held. This email will also include your camper’s SFC invoice, showing the total amount due for sessions that are able to run. The payment window is May 27 – June 1. Payment instructions will be provided in the confirmation email.
Refund Policy:
Since the camp is entirely funded by registration fees, we are unable to offer refunds after payment is made. However, SFC staff will do their best to reassign campers to other available sessions if needed.
