FAQs


Are the camps for completed or rising grades?

All summer camps are for RISING grades.

How long is online registration active?

Online registration will close at 8 a.m. on Friday before the camp starts on Monday. 

Is there walk-up registration?

Yes…while you can walk up and register if the camp is not full, you are not guaranteed a T-shirt or a spot if you don’t register in advance. Many of our camps fill up quickly so register early if you can! Once online registration closes, the camp icon on the registration website is changed to provide details for walk-up registration. Please check the website for information related to each camp.

Will my child receive a summer camp T-shirt?

YES! We will have a single Summer Camp T-shirt for all camps. Shirts are only guaranteed if your child is registered two weeks prior to the camp. Your child will receive one shirt in total no matter how many camps they attend. If your child is attending multiple camps this summer, T-shirts will be given at the first camp they attend.

How do I know what to send with my child for their camp?

You will receive an email the weekend before camp starts on Monday. Please be sure to read the email carefully as it will give you all of the details you need for the upcoming week. If you have any questions, please email summercamps@jacksonacademy.org.

What is Lunch Club, and does my child have to attend JA to participate?

Lunch Club is open for any camper who does not attend JA’s Summer Care program but is attending both a morning and afternoon camp. Your child does NOT have to be a JA student to attend Lunch Club. Lunch Club students must check in with our Summer Care Program before 8:30 a.m. at the Preschool awning off of Sheffield Drive. They will be walked to their morning camp when it is time, and will then come back to Summer Care for lunch.  Please be sure to send a lunch and water bottle with your child each day. After lunch, they will be walked to their afternoon camp location.  All Lunch Club campers are to be picked up at the conclusion of their afternoon camp.

When you check out on the website you will need to add the Lunch Club option for your child for each week where your child is attending camp all day at JA.  Also, the Lunch Club fee is per child so if you have multiple children participating in Lunch Club make sure to sign up and pay for each child.

Where do I drop my child off and pick up my child for their camp?

You will receive an email the weekend before camp starts on Monday with drop-off and pick-up instructions. Please be sure to read the email carefully as it will give you all of the details you need for the upcoming week. If your child is in our JA Summer Program or is signed up for Lunch Club (see above for information on Lunch Club), you will need to check in with our Summer Care Program before 8:30 a.m. at the Preschool awning off of Sheffield Drive. Baseball, JA Tennis, and Softball camps will be dropped off at Raider Park (about ½ mile down Sheffield Drive on the left).

What is the early bird discount?

Register by May 1 and receive a 5% discount when you check out. Simply use the code EarlyBird when you check out, and your cart will reflect the discount.

What days do the camps take place?

Most camps are Monday-Thursday; however, there are a few exceptions.  Please review the dates of your camps prior to checking out.  We have a few Friday-only pop-up camps this year. 

What is the camp cancellation and refund policy?

Once registered there is no refund if your child cannot attend the camp. If for some reason the camp has to be canceled, you will be notified by email and receive a full refund. In case of weather for outdoor camps, the camp will be moved inside and not rescheduled.

Who can I contact if I have questions?
