Summer Programs Policies

From Monday, June 12 to Friday, August 5, please call (757) 963-8252. Prior to Monday, June 12, please contact Director of Auxiliary Programs Mr. Mark Hall at markhall@capehenry.org or (757) 963-8241.

Early registration is encouraged! Camp sizes are limited. Registration payment must be paid in full no later than Monday, May 1. Cape Henry Collegiate reserves the right to remove a camper from a summer program roster if payment is not received.  Registration must be completed online. Phoned or faxed registration will not be accepted. Questions may be directed to Director of Auxiliary Programs Mr. Mark Hall at markhall@capehenry.org or (757) 963-8241.

Cape Henry Collegiate reserves the right to modify or cancel any summer program with insufficient enrollment. All camps must meet minimum enrollment numbers no later than one week prior to the respective program's start date to proceed. If Cape Henry Collegiate cancels a program, a full refund will be given or may be applied to another camp.

A refund will only be permitted if requested in writing more than one week prior to the start of the session in which the camper is enrolled. Fifteen percent of the camp fee is nonrefundable within one week of the beginning of the session. Campers withdrawn less than three days prior to the start of camp are responsible for the full tuition. Transfers are permissible up to two weeks prior to the start of camp. There are no prorated fees or refunds for campers arriving after the beginning of the session, leaving before completion or missing any time during camp.

In accordance with the Commonwealth of Virginia law, each camper must provide Cape Henry Collegiate with a copy of the health form MCH-213G before the first day of their respective camp. The completed MCH-213G must include documentation of all age-appropriate immunizations and a physical examination. All documents must include the date of the physical exam, and the examining physician must sign the immunization form. This health form is required for enrollment in all independent and public schools. Children ages five and under are required to have the MCH-213G on file, and it must be dated within one year before the camp start date. Cape Henry Collegiate students do not need to submit this form for Summer Programs since it is already on file.

The Virginia Department of Social Services licenses Summer at the Cape specialty and day camps, as well as the Extended School Day Program (ESDP). In accordance with the Social Services policy, we are required to document the identity and age of all children enrolled in these programs. Proof of your child's identity may include a birth certificate or a birth registration card. If your child is not currently an enrolled student at Cape Henry Collegiate, you will need to bring this documentation to the School before the start of camp. Athletic camps are not licensed by the Virginia Department of Social Services and do not require proof of birth or Virginia School Health Entrance forms.

There will be a nurse on campus daily from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital is one mile from Cape Henry's campus. Severe emergencies requiring immediate medical attention will be taken to the hospital either by car or ambulance. If a camper takes medication, a separate form will be sent to the parent for specific instructions and a doctor's authorization. This form and the medication must be given to either the director of auxiliary programs or nurse by the parent/guardian of the camper. Parents may contact the nurse via email at schoolnurse@capehenry.org.

Lunch is included for all full-day camps unless otherwise noted. If lunch is not included with the camp, you may purchase lunch for $30 per week or $7 per day. Contact Mr. Mark Hall at markhall@capehenry.org and Mrs. Shamaine Williams at shamainewilliams@capehenry.org to arrange lunch service and payment. 

Cape Henry Collegiate cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment for students with severe allergies and is not a food allergen-free school. Our goal is to minimize the exposure risks to allergens posing a threat to students and educating the community about their needs. We ask all families to please avoid packing snacks with peanuts and tree nuts in the ingredients. If your child has food allergies, notify the nurse via email at schoolnurse@capehenry.org.

Any child leaving camp during camp hours must be picked up in the Lower School office by a parent, guardian or family member. Advance notice is appreciated. Please inform Director of Auxiliary Programs Mr. Mark Hall (markhall@capehenry.org) of early departures.

If your camper is going to be absent, please call (757) 963-8252 and leave a voicemail. Please do not forget to include the date of the absence, your child's name and the specific camp in which they are enrolled.
