Who is eligible to attend the VIP Camp?

Children who are residents of Fairfax County or Fairfax City, and are between 7th grade (entering Fall of 2019) and 8th grade (entering Fall of 2019), are eligible to participate. This program is designed for middle school age youth. Students will be placed on a waitlist once the program meets its 150 student maximum capacity.

 

VIP Camp Supply Fee: There is a $50 VIP Camp Supply Fee that will be collected from all camp participants. Participants who submit the VIP Camp Registration Form will be notified if they have been accepted into camp or placed on a Wait List. Accepted participants will receive a confirmation letter/email indicating a due date for their VIP Camp Supply Fee along with further camp instructions. Payment will be due on the date listed in the confirmation letter. If payment is not received by that date, participants will forfeit their place in camp and will be replaced by a participant from the Wait List in the order in which they are on the list, pending the payment of the camp fee. Please contact the After-School Program Specialist at your child’s school or the Teen Center Director with payment concerns.

 

Cash Refund Policy: To request a refund of the Camp Supply Fee that was paid in cash, contact the After-School Program Specialist at the VIP Camp Site prior to the cutoff date of Friday, June 21, 2019. Refund requests submitted after the cutoff date will not be considered. Refunds will be in the form of a check. Please allow 3-4 weeks for processing.

 

Field Trips: Any fee associated with a field trip is to be paid in cash and will be collected from students on the day of the field trip. A parent/guardian signed Field Trip Permission Form is required the week before the trip.

 

Breakfast/Lunch: Students are strongly encouraged to bring enough healthy food to last them throughout the day. Daily snacks will be provided at no cost.

 

Inclusion: Fairfax County and Fairfax County Public Schools are committed to inclusion. If you have questions, please call your local school After-School Program Specialist.

 

Transportation: Bus transportation to and from the VIP Summer Camp will be provided for students from select elementary schools and select community locations.
