What must I do to register?
How will I know when my child’s place is secured?
As stated in the parent acknowledgement on the official registration form, Registration is only considered complete when a non-refundable $100 deposit is received and the online registration is processed.
You will receive an email confirmation from the camp director stating that registration is complete and your child’s space is secured once all five items (inclusive of the deposit) are fully processed.
Can my registration be put on hold or not accepted?
As stated in the parent acknowledgement on the official registration form, registrations may be put on hold or not accepted in the cases of age-appropriateness, tuition delinquency, or concerns regarding student behavior. Any issue pertaining to the holding or refusal of an application is treated confidentially and directly handled by the school principal and EXPLORE Director.
Do you allow non-ICCR students to participate in the summer programs - and/or, are there admission requirements?
​
​
We will certainly welcome non-ICCR students into our summer community, but they must follow the same registration process as everyone else; additionally, they must have completed their pre-kindergarten classroom education. Please note that there is an age minimum and maximum for all programs (please speak to the EXPLORE director privately regarding age requirement questions). Furthermore, every effort is made to ensure that the campers understand they are visitors in a Christian environment that promotes the values of respect, character, and responsibility. For visitors new to our school, you can learn more about the standards and values we uphold, also known as the "Code of Community" in the camp policies packet here (see page 4).
Can we register for just certain days or only a portion of a week?
Unfortunately, to ensure organization and safety - families cannot register for certain days or portions of a program. Campers are not bound by any kind of attendance requirement, so they may attend camp as often or little as they wish; however; the weekly rate for any program must be paid in order to participate
Are refunds given?
As stated in the parent acknowledgement on the official registration form, tuition payments submitted before July 1, 2022 will be refunded, with the exception of the non-refundable $100 deposit used to secure a child’s place at the time of registration. After June 1, 2022, there are no refunds given for camp days missed due to illness or other reasons. For questions regarding refunds, please email Mr. McPhillips, the Director, here.

We also have a Peanut table on the opposite side of the cafeteria for anyone who has food with nuts
