Please read the
information and policies below before you complete your online
registration.
Sign-up
– Summer Camp sign-ups are taken on a first come first serve basis. If we
reach maximum capacity for a particular week or day, that week or day will
be closed. While planning your weeks to attend, be aware that there are separate
activity calendars for the Small Hallers (ages 5-8) and the Outta Bounders
(ages 9-14).
Online Accounts
– For those of you that
were with us last summer or this school year, you can use your existing
online accounts for registration, tuition payments and field trip sign-up.
If you do not currently have an online account, you will create one when
you register for Summer Camp. After registration you can log into your
account and use your credit card to make tuition payments and to sign-up
and pay for field trips. You can even check your balance and print your
own receipts!
Registration
- The registration fee is $50 per child and it is non-refundable. This fee
is the only fee you are required to pay at the time of your online
registration. Once you have signed up, you may not cancel days or
weeks. You can make transfers if there are openings and each transfer will
incur a fee. You can change a day that you have signed up for, to another
day in that week, if there are spots available. This change incurs a
$10.00 transfer fee and must be completed two weeks prior to the date you
are moving. You can change a week to another week, if there are spots
available. This change incurs a $20.00 transfer fee and must be completed
two weeks prior to the start of the week you are moving.
Tuition
– This year, for the first time we are offering three, four and five day a
week pricing. Now you can really customize your summer program to hit all
of your favorite trips and activities. Tuition is due the first day of the
week that you attend. A late fee of $20 will be charged to your account if
the payment is not made by Wednesday of that week. Payments can be made
online, 24hrs a day, seven days a week, using our online account system
and a credit card. There are also payment slips and a tuition box at the
front desk for cash and check payments. If you use the tuition box at the
center, please fill out a payment slip completely with each payment to insure that
your payment is recorded accurately. Please keep in mind that you will
be charged for any weeks that you sign-up for even if you do not attend.
There is a sibling discount that will be deducted, if applicable, at
the time of registration.
Field Trips that cost money
– This year all field trips and activities are included in tuition, except
for Thursday field trips, Legoland, Magic Mountain, Wild Rivers and
camping. These trips will incur an additional charge and your child’s spot
will be reserved when you pay for that trip. Payment for these trips can
be done using your online account or by cash or check at the
front desk. If you pay for a trip at the front desk, you must use a payment
slip and indicate what trip you are signing up for. Each of these
field trips has a capacity and will be closed when full. The deadline for
signing up for trips is the Monday of the week in which a trip occurs - NO
exceptions! Some trips have early departure times so check the weekly calendars for
each trip. All field trips are subject to change or cancellation due to
unforeseen circumstances. A child may be excluded from a trip for either
not having an ATAC shirt or poor behavior. There are no credits or refunds
for missed trips. Please be on time for all pick-ups. Late fees will be
enforced.
Field Trips included in tuition
– Both Small Hall and Outta Bounds will be taking local field trips on
Tuesdays and Wednesdays throughout the summer. These trips are included in
regular tuition. The Sign In sheet on the day of any trip will include a
column to indicate whether or not you child may attend this local field
trip.
Wild Rivers
- There is an opportunity to attend Wild Rivers five times throughout the
summer for children with season passes or pre-paid tickets. If you would
like to make use of this option, you need to purchase a season pass
from Wild Rivers or a single day ticket. The passes are on sale now at the Wild Rivers
ticket office or the Wild Rivers website. Before your child attends
his/her first trip with us, they will need to have their complete pass
including picture. If you need more information on Wild Rivers season
passes call (949) 768-WILD or go to
www.wildrivers.com. Pre-paid tickets can be purchased at the Wild
Rivers box office or you can purchase and print tickets from the website.
You can also buy tickets at Fun Express (ph. (949)
367-1900
or go to
www.funex.com) or Costco. To attend a Monday Wild Rivers or
beach trip, children must be signed up at the front desk by 10:00AM each
Monday.
Sunscreen - We supply and cover all children with sunscreen on field trip and
center days when we are outside. We use Lil’ Gator by Aloe Gator
and Coppertone. If your child has any allergies to sunscreen,
please notify the staff. Hats and rash guards are encouraged for extra
protection.
T-Shirts
- Each child will receive an ATAC shirt with his/her paid registration.
These shirts are required for most group field trips throughout the
summer except water. If you wish to purchase an additional shirt, the cost is $15.00.
Put your child’s name on the tag when you receive the shirt.
Lunch
–You will need to provide a
lunch for your child each day. The best way to bring a lunch is in a
personal cooler that is durable and has your child’s name clearly marked
on the outside. Be sure to include plenty of drinks for those long days of
activities. A bottle of frozen water to keep things cool, that your child
can drink when it thaws, is a great idea. Do not send money with your
child to buy lunch, especially on field trips. Do not bring food that
requires micro-waving or refrigeration and pack utensils if needed. Do not
pack glass, gum or sunflower seeds. Please pack some healthy foods to
provide long lasting energy.
Spending Money
- The children are allowed to
bring spending money on the field trips for the purpose of snacks and
beverages. We will not dedicate time to shop for souvenirs. Your child may
have the opportunity to buy a souvenir, but we concentrate our time at
each location on the attractions. If they have spending money, they will
need to keep track of it themselves. Bringing a fanny pack with your
child’s name on it for field trips is a great idea because it never comes
off. Backpacks are OK for Outta Bounders but not suggested for Small
Hallers.
Signing In and Out
– A parent or authorized adult
must sign each child in and out every day. Failure to do this is a safety
and legal issue.
Calendars
- There will be weekly calendars posted and distributed for each
program. On the calendars, you will find departure and return times, as
well as a more detailed schedule of the week’s activities. Any equipment
needed or other additional information will also be listed on these
calendars. Please check the calendars daily so that you and your child
know what you are responsible for and what is happening each day. These
calendars will also be posted on our website
www.atac4kids.com. Please do not call the center daily to ask about
departure and return times.
Camping
- This year we will be camping
at Lake Perris. The trip will be during week #4, July 16th – 18th.
The cost for this trip is $85.00. This money covers food, transportation,
the site, overnight staff and any additional entertainment expenses
including archery, crafts and rock climbing. Parents are welcome to join
us for part or the whole stay. Details on what to bring and a schedule of
events will be out three weeks prior to the trip. Our center is open for
those who do not attend the camping trip, and a schedule of center
activities and local trips will be available shortly before that week.
Personal Property - ATAC is not responsible for the loss or damage
of personal property, including but not limited to, cell phones, video
game systems, iPODs and toys. Personal items that are brought to ATAC,
that are deemed by ATAC staff to be causing problems, will be confiscated
and returned only to parents.
