Summer Camps 2025

All camp registration costs include a non-refundable $50 deposit. If you need to cancel before May 1, you will be refunded in full, less the $50 non-refundable deposit. If you cancel after May 1, we will provide a credit for each canceled week, less the $50 non-refundable deposit. Cancellations made less than 14 days in advance of your child’s camp session will not be refunded or credited.

Prorating Camp Fees

When you sign up for camp, please select a camp which you anticipate your child attending the full week. We are unable to register children for partial weeks and do not provide a reduced rate if your child cannot attend the entire week. We recognize that due to travel sometimes children may miss a Monday or Friday. Our camp staff will do their best to make the camp experience positive for any child who misses a day.

Missed Camp Days

We cannot refund fees for missed camp days, as your camp tuition is based on enrollment not attendance. We will not offer a refund for missed camp days camp due to vacation, calendar conflicts, or personal choice. If your child is sick and unable to attend due to illness, providing there is space we may be able to transfer your child to a later week once they are no longer symptomatic or contagious. If you decline this offer, the standard cancellation policy applies.

Low Enrollment

If we must cancel due to low enrollment, a full refund including the deposit will be issued unless we can place your child in another program. We will notify all families enrolled in camps at risk of cancellation no later than June 1.

COVID-19 Safety

We will follow the current guidelines from the Washington State Department of Health. To view the current guidelines, click here. 

Sick Camper Policy

If you notice symptoms of illness in your child before camp, please use the symptom flow chart provided by the Washington State Department of Health to determine next steps for your child and family. If your child is sick, please keep them home and notify us. If your camper gets sick while at camp our staff will contact a parent or legally authorized adult who will be asked to pick them up immediately.

Medications and Additional Needs

We understand that medical information is confidential and do not need a detailed health history for your child to attend camp. However, if your child has any health condition that may impact their experience at camp, may present at camp, or may be exacerbated by camp activities, we ask that you provide us with information to keep your child safe at camp. This includes:

• Food and environmental allergies.

• Asthma and other conditions that may need treatments at camp.

• Medical conditions that require staff knowledge in order to provide a comfortable camp experience for your child. For example, a condition that requires frequent bathroom breaks or low impact activities.

• Seizure conditions, heart conditions, diabetes, or other medical conditions that could result in a life threatening situation at camp.

Please contact us prior to registration to discuss specific needs so we can best support your child by emailing us at hello@theworksseattle.com. 

Camper Safety

It is of the upmost importance that campers are safe at The Works Seattle. State designated camper-to-staff ratios are always maintained and no camper is to be left alone with a single staff member. When transitioning to and from outdoor time, staff conduct head counts and supervise boundaries. 

Photographs and videos that represent our summer camp programs help share our mission with new participants and families. At checkout we ask you to agree to the Terms and Conditions. If you are uncomfortable with The Works Seattle using your child's image, please email us at hello@theworksseattle.com.

Codeword

Adults must be authorized and use a codeword to pick up children at the end of the day. Please record the word you provide at check-out.

No Early Drop Off

In order to ensure our teaching staff is able to fully set up and ready to give your campers the best camp experience, we do not accept early camper drop off. Once our teaching staff is ready at 8:50am, we will open the door and start welcoming campers.

Punctual Pick Up / Late Pick Up Fees

We require camp families to pick up their campers promptly at their designated pick up time.

Per our camp policies, late fees will be charged starting 10 minutes after a camper’s designated pick up time.

• 10-19 minutes late = $10 late fee

• 20-29 minutes late = $20 late fee

• 30 or more minutes late = $30 for first 30 minutes late + $2 for each additional minute late beyond that

Please pack the following items for your camper(s) each day:

• Water Bottle

• Mid-Morning Snack (peanut and tree-nut free)

• Have your child dress in layers (tank or t-shirt, long sleeved shirt, light jacket or sweatshirt) and please send appropriate rain gear if it looks like it may rain. The kids tend to take off their layers as the day warms up. Because of this LABEL all clothing with their name.

• Sunscreen / Sun hat / Sunglasses as dependent on weather for our outside time.
