Summer Programs Mission

Frederica Academy Summer Programs Mission

Our mission is to maximize adventures within our community by providing engaging and meaningful experiences to enrich the development of mind, body, and spirit.

Summer is a time for new adventures, laughing with friends, and creating memories that last a lifetime. Frederica Academy Summer Programs are designed to offer a variety of opportunities where your child can experience summer within our community. With camps running throughout June and July, we offer both our signature camps and specialty camps that are sure to fit your child’s taste of adventure. Signature camps such as our themed Little Knights (ages 3-4) and age-focused Camp Knights (grades K-5) run each consecutive week during the 9 weeks of summer and will incorporate field trips, special visitors, water play, and more! Our specialty camps run for 9 weeks this summer and vary in age range and offerings each week.

Cancellation Policy

We understand if you must cancel; however, due to the high demand of our summer programs, we will follow our cancellation policy regarding refunds and fees. Any cancellation or change made more than two weeks before your child’s first day of camp does not carry any type of cancellation fee. You will be fully refunded for your registration if it is canceled prior to the two week window. Should you cancel within the two weeks before your child’s first day of camp up to 48 business hours before your child’s first day of camp, you will be charged a cancellation fee of $75. If you cancel within the designated window, your refund will have this $65 fee deducted from it. No refunds will be provided for cancellations made less than 48 business hours prior to the start of the selected camp date. Please note that this excludes weekend days as a part of the 48 business hours.
