Before/After Care Fee Structure

  • In order for Camp GreenZone staff to be prepared and properly staffed, all before/after care must be registered in advance using the before/after care form.
  • $10 per child per hour, camper must be registered for before/after care by 3pm on the Friday prior to their week of camp beginning. For example: if your child is enrolled in camp beginning Monday, July 10th then they must register for before/after care by 3pm on Friday, July 7th.
  • Any child not enrolled by 3pm on the Friday prior to their week of camp beginning will be charged $13 per hour per child.
  • Before/after care is fully refundable up until the Friday before your week of camp begins at 3pm. If your child has camp on July 10th and you registered for before/after care in advance but have a change and no longer need it we will give you a refund up until July 7th at 3pm.
  • Before/after care registration will take place around Memorial Day and will be emailed out to all camp registrants.

Refund Policy

DSRC keeps a non-refundable processing fee to help cover our administration costs associated with registration. This policy is not meant to be punitive but is in place to ensure that families only register for Camp GreenZone with the intention of attending and not just as a placeholder. We have had a lot of cancellations in past years, and it becomes very hard to replace a camper once summer approaches.

    • If a camper withdraws before March 1st camper will receive a refund minus a $25 per week processing fee
    • If a camper withdraws between March 1 and May 31 camper will receive a refund minus a $40 per week processing fee
    • No refund will be given for any camper that withdraws after May 31
    • If DSRC must cancel camp for any unforeseen reason, all campers will receive a full refund

 

Sunscreen Policy

  • Campers should have sunscreen applied prior to arriving at camp. We will also have campers reapply sunscreen several times throughout the day.
  • Each camper’s parent/guardian must provide written permission for use and application of sunscreen on their child. Without this, DSRC staff are not allowed to assist with sunscreen application/reapplication.
  • Sunscreen containers must be clearly labeled with the camper’s name.
  • If your child forgets sunscreen or bug spray, we will assume that it is okay for your child to borrow from a friend. If your child has any product restrictions, please email Alyssa at [email protected].

Camp Director, Alyssa Bessasparis

I am excited to be returning as the DSRC Camp GreenZone Director for 2024! 

I will continue to create a safe and fun-filled environment for this summer. We will swim, do crafts, play tennis, basketball, flag football, soccer, and many more games. If you have a favorite sport, craft or camp activity you like, be sure to let me know! I am always open to feedback and will do my best to incorporate all that you hope to get out of camp.

Camp will run from mid-June through the end of August, and I can’t wait to see you again! I look forward to a great summer!
