Thank you for your interest in our Wakefield 2020 Summer Camp Program. Please note that payment is required at the start of camp. For the time being, Wakefield is accepting a deposit for each Summer Program. A $50 deposit will be required to hold a student’s spot for any Summer Camp, Enrichment Program, and/or Private Lesson, and a $150 deposit will be required for a for-credit course. Once the program begins, the remaining balance is due.
If, for any reason, you are unable to use the online payment system, please email our Auxiliary Program Director at [email protected], or call the main office at 540-253-7500, for information on how to register by phone or in-person. Credit cards and cash are accepted forms of payment, however we do not accept personal checks in our Summer Camp Program.
Refunds will be issued only with advanced notice of cancellation. A non-refundable administrative fee of $25 will be deducted from the refund amount per student, per camp. Any camps cancelled 30 or more days prior to the start date will be fully refunded; 29-15 days prior to the start date will be 50% refunded; less than 2 weeks before the start date will not be refunded.
Private Lessons are subject to a different refund policy. Students may cancel after the first introductory lesson without financial penalty; they will be refunded the remaining unused sessions, minus a $25 administrative fee. If a student chooses to cancel their lessons after the second lesson they must pay for the remainder of the sessions. Every effort must be made to notify the instructor in case of student illness or ailment, if possible, 24 hours in advance. Make-up lessons will be made for excused, but not unexcused, absences.

PRIVATE LESSONS
(Virtual and/or On-Campus)This summer Wakefield will offer 5-session and 10-session packages for private lessons lasting 30 minutes each. Our program will consist of three different areas:
● Academic Tutoring
○ Our faculty and staff are composed of highly educated teachers, able to provide 1:1 tutoring for many academic subjects and learning support students. Academic Tutoring sessions will help students review, repair and reinforce prior content, and help prepare students for future subjects in their 2020-2021 school year.
● Music Lessons
○ Wakefield has access to some of the most talented, and friendly musicians in the area. Our private Music Lessons will help students continue practicing their vocal and instrumental skills, and/or learn a new instrument. Students returning to our Music Program can also continue their music lessons form this past school year.
● Personal and Sports Training
○ Athletic students looking for guided direction for their upcoming school sports year can utilize the sports education and talents of our Physical Education Department with Wakefield’s Personal and Sports Training sessions. Families seeking a physical outlet for their child(ren)’s energy can also enlist the help of our trainers, coaches, and Physical Education teachers and have them create a personalized plan for their physical education.
Students can work with their instructors to set the pace of each 30-minute session, and customize each for the day and time of their choosing. Wakefield’s private lessons will run the entire Summer, from June 15-August 7, Monday through Friday, from 9am to 4pm; participants are welcome to schedule their ten lessons whenever and however often they would like during those times. These lessons will be modified to fit a live virtual platform if students are not able to meet on-campus or in-person.
Not seeing what you need? Please contact [email protected] and our Auxiliary Director, Carolyn Findler, will consult our partnership with local tutoring company, Vint Hill, to discuss further options.
