Outdoor tours of the Bloomfield campus will be offered to registered families in late May or early June. Information on registering for a tour will be emailed to registered families in May. Weather permitting, a campus tour will be available during the January 20, 2024 Information Session. Campus tours of the Birmingham campus are not available.

Each camper enrolled in all eight weeks (any combination of Day and Theatre Camps) receives a $400 discount applied to the total camp fee after registration. Sibling discounts are not available.

A limited number of need-based scholarships are available for both the Day Camp and Theatre Camp. Scholarships may be full or partial with a maximum award of $910 per camper.

In general, families exceeding three times the federal poverty guidelines will typically not qualify for assistance. For example, a family of 2 would need to make $59,000 or less and a family of 4 would need to make $90,000 or less per year to qualify for a scholarship. Applicants meeting these guidelines are not guaranteed a scholarship as only a limited number of scholarships are available. If there are extenuating circumstances that you would like for us to consider, please submit this information to the committee in writing.

The Scholarship Application is available online as part of the registration process. Please register for camp and then complete the online scholarship application. Scholarship applicants do not need to pay a deposit while awaiting a scholarship decision.

All applications and accompanying documentation are due by February 28, 2024.

Decisions will be made by March 11, 2024.

CANCELLATION DEADLINES FOR 2024

All Camps - March 15, 2024
Pre-Paid After Care - two weeks prior to the start of each session: Session 1 deadline is June 10, 2024; Session 2 deadline is June 24, 2024; Session 3 deadline is July 8, 2024; Session 4 deadline is July 22, 2024.

Camp sessions are for the specified period. Sessions may not be split, prorated, or shared. Sessions are intended for the named registrant only.

If a session is full, you may register your child online for the waitlist. Families on the waitlist will be notified when a space becomes available via the email address that was used for registering. They will then have 72 hours to respond before the space is offered to the next family on the waitlist. Families will be contacted in the order they register on the waitlist for a particular session. Families will need to log in to their account to complete the required paperwork within the 72-hour response period. It is not necessary to submit a deposit for waitlisted sessions. However, a deposit is required for all confirmed registered sessions. Payments are due after acknowledgment of your child’s confirmed space. All cancellation policies, including deadlines, apply to registered families, as well as to those on the waitlist who accept spaces.

For the safety of all campers, items that contain nuts, peanuts or peanut oil are not served or permitted at camp.

Chartwells, our lunch service provider for the Day Camp, is able to offer vegetarian meals and, for documented allergies, gluten-free meals. At this time, we are unable to provide alternative meals for other allergies.

Please indicate all food allergies on your child's registration form so that our staff members are made aware. Families may choose to send a lunch or snack with their camper.

On the registration form for Day Camp, you may request two specific friends with whom you would like your child to be grouped. Vague answers such as "other children from Apple Elementary" will not be honored. We do our best to make sure children have familiar faces in their groups, but we also encourage them to enjoy the opportunity to meet new friends.

Friend requests made after May 1, 2024, may not be honored.

No, bus service is not available.

Dressing up like a superhero is only part of the fun experienced at Roeper Summer Programs. At the Day Camp, each week follows a theme ranging from “Roeper’s Got Talent” when we host camper talent shows to “Wet n’ Wild” when we compete in cardboard boat races across our pool. Special activities change from year to year. No two weeks are alike and no two summers are alike.

Children who are in preschool, or junior kindergarten, or are not enrolled in school for the 2023-24 school year are required to provide a physician-signed physical form with an immunization record. Per State of Michigan law, physician-signed physical forms with immunization record need to be submitted before the start of camp. These forms must be dated within 12 months of the camp start date. 

If your child requires medication during camp, complete the Medication Authorization Form. There is a form for both Prescription and Over-the-counter medications. The Authorization for Prescription Medication must be signed by a physician. For campers with Epi-Pens, an Allergy Action Plan is not a substitute for the Authorization for Prescription Medicine form. Parents should bring the medication directly to the camp office at the start of camp. Medication should be in a labeled bag and must be in the original container labeled with the child’s name and the prescriber’s instructions; include the Medication Authorization Form. You will receive emails with the required forms, also available on the website.

Please DO NOT send medication in your child’s bag.

If your child is unable to attend the scheduled session due to the COVID-19 illness, you may request a medical refund.  In the case of extended illness confirmed in writing by a physician, program fees will be refunded on a per-day basis beginning after the fourth day of absence.  The refund request must include written confirmation from a physician, certifying your child’s ineligible status for the session your child is enrolled in.  As appropriate, the Program will refund the deposit and full amount of proportionate tuition paid for the session less any amounts due on the account. If enrolled in multiple sessions, refunds will be processed on a per-session basis based on confirmation from the physician that the child is unable to attend.
