CANCELLATION POLICY
You may cancel your child’s camp registration up to 2 weeks before the first day of that camp. A 20% administrative handling fee per child per camp will be assessed for all changes and cancellations. Registration changes and/or cancellations cannot be completed online. Please call 615-353-9827 to cancel your order. Camps cancelled with less than 2 weeks before the start date are not eligible for refunds. Unfortunately, we cannot give refunds for missed days of camp. Camps cancelled by Cheekwood because of low enrollment will automatically be refunded in full. Cheekwood will notify you no less than 2 days in advance if a class is cancelled and will try to accommodate your child in another camp session. Please note: Cheekwood cannot ‘switch’ classes. If you cancel a class to register for another, the cancellation is considered a separate transaction and the administrative fee will apply.
SCHOLARSHIPS
Cheekwood is proud to offer a limited number of summer camp scholarships. Click here for the Scholarship application. All applications must be received by April 16th, 2010 in order to be considered. Please note: In order for Cheekwood to share the camp experience with as many children as possible, campers who received scholarships in 2008 or 2009 are not eligible this year.
AGE LIMITS
Please note the appropriate age range for each session. Campers must be the proper age on or before August 1, 2010 in order to enroll in the camp.
STUDENT INFORMATION FORMS
In order for your child to attend camp, you must turn in a completed Student Information Form on the first day of your child’s first camp session. A link to the Student Information Form is included in the confirmation email you receive upon registering your child for a class and is also available on Cheekwood’s website. If your child attends additional sessions, there is no need to submit additional forms. Cheekwood will keep the information on file throughout the summer.
LOCATION AND CHECK-IN
All camps are held on Cheekwood’s campus at 1200 Forrest Park Drive. Campers must check-in at the lower level of Cheekwood’s Frist Learning Center on the first day of their session. An authorized adult must accompany camper(s) into the building.
PACK A SNACK
There will be one snack time during each camp session. Please send a small non-refrigerated snack labeled clearly with your child’s full name. Because of an increasing number of campers with nut allergies, Cheekwood is a nut-free camp. We ask that you refrain from sending your camper with any food containing nuts.
DRESS FOR MESS
Your child should wear clothes that are comfortable and suitable for hands-on, often messy fun!
SPECIAL NEEDS
Cheekwood strives to provide accessible experiences for all children. If your child requires special accommodations, please call (615) 353-9827 to discuss your situation prior to registering.
