Each day, CASC will provide a well-balanced hot lunch with many choices in our air-conditioned dining hall. All campers will also receive a morning snack and juice. Each camp week’s menu will be available in early June, please contact the camp office to obtain a copy. If your child has food allergies, a meeting with the food service director can be arranged to determine what food your child can eat each week.

Special Events

At CASC every week has a special and unique theme. These themes may vary from year to year but are always central to Concord Academy and CASC’s mission and principles. Weekly events add education and variety to a camper’s experience and help us incorporate the week’s theme into camp activities. On “Wacky Wednesdays”, campers and counselors dress up according the theme of the week. Major special events end the week on a high note every Friday afternoon. Some examples of previous Special Events include Carnival, Olympics, Ocean Explorations, The World Around Us, and Lip-Sync. Our fifth and sixth grade groups will have the opportunity to participate in an after-camp campfire several times throughout the summer. Other special events may include field trips off campus and outside (educational or performance) groups visiting CA. Some of these extra-camp activities may have additional costs associated with them; some are included in the camp tuition. Most Specialty Camps will not participate in the Special Events, or will only participate in an abbreviated portion of them.

Health and Medical Information

Massachusetts State Law requires Concord Academy Summer Camp to have a copy of each camper’s current record of immunizations and physical. No child may attend camp without the proper health forms. By June 1, 2012, CASC must have physical form (within the last twelve months), a copy of an immunization record, and a Concord Academy health form on file for each camper. There is a registered nurse on site at CA during camp hours. All of our head counselors and many additional staff are certified in CPR and first aid and are epi-pen trained.

Financial Assistance

Payment Plans are available, please contact the camp office for more details.

Limited financial aid is available based on demonstrated family need. Please call the camp office for more information or to request an application. All financial aid applications must be returned, in their entirety, to Concord Academy by April 15, 2012.

Registration Process

Registrations for all programs are processed on a first-come first-served basis in the order they are received. A non-refundable deposit of $50 per week per camper must accompany the completed registration form, along with any transportation fees, which must be paid in full. If registration is completed online, we will hold registration until deposit is received. The remaining balance for all campers is due on or before May 1, 2012. If the balance is not paid, a camper’s registration will be cancelled. After May 1, 2012, all new registrations must be paid in full.

Change/Cancellation Policy

A refund or credit, minus the non-refundable $50 per week deposit, will be given for any changes or cancellations made in writing before June 1, 2012. After June 1, 2012, no refunds will be made, with the exception of illness. A written request along with a doctor’s note stating that camp is medically inadvisable must be submitted in order to receive a refund or credit, less any deposits. The $50 per week deposit is non-refundable and cannot be transferred to sessions for which a balance is still owed. No refunds or credits will be made for a camper who attends only part of a session for any reason. Due to bus planning, all transportation fees are non-refundable. All refunds are made after the close of camp in late August.
