Cancellation

By Summer at Saint Mary's Hall
Camps and classes are limited in size and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Summer at Saint Mary’s Hall reserves the right to cancel any course, camp, or program due to insufficient enrollment. If this occurs, staff will work with families to transfer to another available camp or refund tuition.

By the student
A full refund will be given for cancellations made before May 18, 2020. After that date, your money will be refunded only if the class is canceled or a student is medically precluded from participating. A letter from a licensed physician is required. Cancellations made after May 18, 2020, will be charged a $50 cancellation fee for each week, for each student, that classes are canceled.

Proration

Proration is no longer available as instructors and staff plan a full week of camp, including supply costs, for each student registered by Thursday at noon, the week prior. We are unable to prorate for camper absences including vacation schedules, conflicting activities, or a change in plans.

Waiting Lists

All camps have enrollment limits which assure campers a safe and fun learning experience. Our online registration system automatically develops a waiting list for all camps. If space opens up in a camp, parents will be notified via email to login to their account and register for the camp.

Absences

To ensure the daily safety of each camper, we ask that you report any absence or plans to drop-off or pick-up early. Please email enrichment@smhall.org or call the Office of Enrichment at (210) 483-9124.

Pick-Up

Your cooperation with following these instructions directly effects our ability to run a safe and efficient pick-up process. All families will be provided a carpool tag displaying your camper’s name. PLEASE have this hanging on your rear view mirror so that camp staff can find your camper(s) and have them ready to get in the car efficiently.

• Cars may queue in the three lanes leading to the Lower School Circle.

• Campers not picked up by 3:45pm will be enrolled in Extended Care (see Extended Care section for more information)

The Extended Care Program provides care for campers enrolled in Summer at Saint Mary’s Hall before and after camp: 7am–9am and 3:45pm–6pm. The program includes relaxed recreational activities including games and outdoor play. We encourage parents to sign up in advance for our Extended Care Program to help our administration better plan for staffing needs. We understand that circumstances do not always permit early or planned enrollment so Extended Care is open on a drop-in basis for parents with unforeseen scheduling difficulties. Campers who are dropped off before 8:45am or not picked up by 3:45pm will automatically be enrolled into the Extended Care Program. For this supervised time, parents will be charged at the rate listed below. Late fees will be charged after 6pm. For questions, contact Jeanette Moreno at (210) 669-7941.

For the safety of our staff and campers “SMH reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to remove any camper, parent, or any other person at any time.”

Young Campers
​​​​​​​Campers ages 3-4 must be potty trained. Pullups are not permitted. Please send an extra set of clothing in a labeled bag.

Clothing
Campers should wear closed-toe shoes and dress in cool, comfortable summer attire. Should your camper be required to wear something different or bring specific items, you will be notified via email.

Sunscreen
Please apply sunscreen and insect repellent to your camper every day as even campers in indoor sessions will spend some time outdoors. WATER - Send a water bottle with your camper – there will be multiple opportunities for your camper to refill his/ her water bottle throughout the day.

Personal Stuff
We recommend that other personal belongings stay at home as we are not responsible for lost or broken personal items. We also recommend that mobile devices remain at home. Should your camper need to bring a mobile device, staff, instructors and counselors reserve the right to limit usage during camp time. Please don’t forget to label all personal items.

While electronic devices may enhance communication between students, their families , and friends, students who make irresponsible use of them during camp often lose valuable time that should be used for play, learning & time with faculty, and peers, all of which are hallmarks of our camp. In order to facilitate the healthiest learning environment for each camper, we ask that you comply with the following guidelines regarding cellular and electronic devices:

• Campers entering Pre-K through 2nd grade will not be allowed to bring any electronic devices including cell phones, iPads, gaming devices, and smart watches.
• Campers entering 3rd – 5th grade are allowed to bring cell phones to school, but they must remain off and away all day. If a camper is unable to comply, their may be confiscated and kept in the summer office until the camper leaves for the day. No smart watches or other devices will be allowed.
• Campers entering 6th – 8th grade may bring a cell phone but it must be turned off during cam-p hours (9am-12:30pm and 12:30pm-3;30pm). They may not be turned on and used during instruction, snack or carpool time.
• Campers entering 9th – 12th grade may bring a cell phone or other electronic device, but are only allowed to use them in class according to instructor guidelines. When not in class campers are allowed to use their devices in an appropriate manner according to the Responsible Use Policy (RUP).

All camps meet rain or shine. In case of inclement weather, Summer at Saint Mary’s Hall will communicate with you via:

• Mass email
• Summer at Saint Mary’s Hall web site (smhall.org/summer)
• Social Media – a message will be placed on the Saint Mary’s Hall Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram account.

Summer at Saint Mary's Hall takes place on the Saint Mary’s Hall campus, making use of our school’s fantastic facilities. From the classroom, to our athletic facilities and fine arts venues, your camper will enjoy some of the best facilities in town.
