 2020 'Sun'sational Summer Camp Information

• Early registrations will be accepted beginning February 3, 2020, but may not be approved immediately; register early to take advantage of incentive registration fee pricing
• All registered students will receive one free summer camp t-shirt
  • A second free t-shirt will be provided only when you attend the Family Orientation event
• The registration fee and deposit are both nonrefundable
• Once you have registered online, your contract will be reviewed by our staff to be sure that we have complete information and documentation
  • Upon approval of your contract, your debit/credit card which you will supply online, will be charged the registration fee PLUS a $100 deposit per child that will be applied toward the invoice for your first scheduled dates (i.e., if you register for July, pay the deposit, and then add days for June, the system automatically applies the deposit to the July dates)
  • The amount of your registration fee will be determined by the date you applied, not the date of contract approval (see above Register Early/Discounted Pricing). 
  • The balance will be invoiced and is due as outlined on the "Important Dates" table below.
• Your Account Representative will attempt to contact you if there is missing or incorrect information, or if your payment does not go through.  You will have no more than 3 business days to respond and correct the situation or your contract will not be approved and will be deleted from pending status. This time period may be shortened when we are at a deadline.  This will require you to re-submit your contract and it will be subject to the current registration fee and field trip availability.   Your child cannot attend without an approved contract. 

• Grade K-8 (based on rate of $38 per day with a 3-day per week minimum)
  • $114 per week for 3 days

  • $200 per week for 5 days

Changes to your contract are subject to a $25 change fee.  Additional days after the payment deadline will be subject to availability and an additional fee.  Field trips are subject to closure upon reaching capacity, so early registration is encouraged.  After the the payment deadline date, field trips will close based on enrollment.  Additional or unscheduled drop-in days will not be permitted on the day of a field trip.  We monitor enrollment numbers on a regular basis. 

• Early registration is strongly encouraged to guarantee your start date and attendance for field trips of your choice
• Field trip venues are reserved by us beginning in January in order for us to provide students with outstanding experiences, however, some venues do have limitations and may be subject to closure when they reach capacity
• Once your contract is approved, those dates you chose on your contract are confirmed; changes after confirmation may be subject to being declined if a field trip venue has reached capacity

Choice of Site

• Space is limited; all sites will provide service to a maximum of 230 students.
• Please choose your site carefully.  Transfers are subject to additional fees, availability, and time restrictions.

Enrollment (reservation and payment)

• Register online at deervalley.ce.eleyo.com prior to April 30th

• DES funded accounts do require a card on file; you must provide the required DES acceptance documentation in advance to ensure you are invoiced/charged properly for those charges that DES does not cover
• Online payment may be made prior to the payment date if you do not want auto pay, but you will still need to link a card
• Failed payments/unpaid balances will result in withdrawal from camp for the period in question 
• After the deadline, additional days may be added, based on availability, for an additional fee; days will not be changed or removed

DES Assistance

If you are eligible to receive financial assistance from the AZ Department of Economic Security (DES), you will be responsible for the following:

• Your daily co-pay as determined by DES
• Any difference between the daily rate that is subsidized by DES and our daily rate
  • For example, our rate is $38 per day; if DES pays $28 per day (6 or more hours of attendance), and if your co-pay is $1 per day.  Your daily responsibility is $11, including your copay
  • NOTE that if your child attends less than 6 hours per day, you are responsible for the difference between our rate and the DES part-day rate of $14; or $25 per day in this example
• Choosing only the days your child will attend camp
  • if you choose days that your child does not attend, you will pay the full daily rate of $38 per day ($40 for preschool)
  • DES will not subsidize days that your child does not attend for which a reservation has been confirmed
• Submit the required documentation
