SUMMER CAMPS

JOIN OUR SUMMER FUN HERE AT HARTMAN

Summer Camps at Hartman cater to a wide range of ages and program lengths. Kids ages 5  to 16 years old can join us for camp with camps ranging from half day to 3 days long. At camp kids will learn life-long skills such as kayaking, fishing, pond exploring, hiking, and camping. Kids are also encouraged to develop and use 21st century skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, reasoning, information synthesis, creativity and perseverance - all while having tons of fun in an dynamic and unique environment! Summer camps are designed for particular age groups that are appropriate for their age level and their social emotional learning level.

2. Download and complete the "Youth Release Form". We REQUIRE this for EVERY camper (even siblings!).  If medication is to be administered to your child, the "Authorization to Administer Medication" will also need to be completed and signed by the prescribing physician.
3. Whichever camps you choose, please put them on your family calendar. We do not refund registration costs because of family scheduling issues (vacations, double-booking with other camps, etc).

Refund Policy: Refunds will only be given in the case of a documented medical emergency or funeral for programs more than $10. If program cost is under $10, a program voucher will be offered for a future program. If a program is cancelled due to weather or other unforeseen reasons, then a similar program will be offered in its place.


SCHOLARSHIPS

Thanks to our great community, we are able to offer scholarships to families that have demonstrated need. To be eligible for a scholarship, the child must have a valid keycard from the Cedar Valley Key Card program. Approved applicants will be awarded up to 75% of the cost of each camp, not exceeding $100 per person/per calendar year. To be considered, please complete the Program Scholarship Form. Please note: A child(ren) isn't considered registered until a copy of the key card and payment is received.
