9 WEEKS: June 30th - August 28th

Camp Pinecrest will keep your child busy all summer long with great field trips and summer camp activities! Campers are grouped according to the grade they will enter in September. Daily activities include swimming (on campus), games, computers, arts and crafts, go-carts, movies, weekly theme projects, and more! Campers may also choose from optional field trips (summer excursions). Camp hours are from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Camp activities will take place between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.

Camp tuition is $205.00 for 5-days a week, $155.00 for 3-days a week, or $1,805.00 for a full summer session. The registration fee for Pinecrest students is $45.00 per summer, and for NON-Pinecrest students it is $110.00 per summer. Transportation is $11 a day one-way and $13 a day round trip.

Payment in full is due on the first of the month unless other arrangements are made in advance. All checks should be made payable to Pinecrest Schools. A signed enrollment form is a release which allows your child’s photo to be used in any promotional material including our website. Campers must be in good health. Allergies and other conditions that might affect health, safety and welfare of the camper must be noted on the Health History and Medical Authorization form provided.

Lunch

Lunch, freshly prepared on site, is $5.00 a day or $190 for the full Summer session. An afternoon snack is also provided. If lunch is brought from home, it must not contain perishables, as we cannot provide refrigeration. Be sure to label all lunch boxes with your child’s name.

Camp Wear

All campers will be given ONE free Pinecrest camp shirt. Pinecrest camp shirts are required on all field trips. Additional camp shirts may be purchased from in the front office. Campers should wear comfortable, modest summer play clothes (cover shoulders for protection from the sun; caps or hats with visors are recommended), tennis shoes or other closed-toe shoes. We do not allow clothing that permits any underwear to show excessive display of skin (halter/crop tops, short shorts, etc.), or clothing that interferes with safety (e.g. exceptionally baggy or too long pants).
No open-toed sandals, slip-ons, platform shoes, or roller sneakers please!
** Sunscreen should be put on every camper at home!

Campers Need to Bring

Campers should bring a swimsuit, towel and sunscreen inside a waterproof bag. All items should be clearly marked with first and last name. (Campers are responsible for their own belongings, including sunscreen and lip balm.) Full time campers may leave their swimsuit and towel at school Monday through Friday, but they must be taken home on Friday to be cleaned. Campers are not allowed to bring toys to campus except those designated on specialty days.

We discourage all participants and staff from bringing with them to school anything of value, such as jewelry, money, or expensive clothing. Children are not permitted to bring toys, Game Boys, CD players, Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh cards, or whatever else is the latest fad to school.

Pinecrest Schools Simi Valley maintains a Zero tolerance policy for weapons or anything that can be constructed as a weapon. We do not tolerate foul language or harassment of any sort. Violation of this is grounds for dismissal.

Campers need to bring a morning snack. Afternoon snacks are provided.

Pinecrest Schools Simi Valley Summer Camp Program is not responsible for any articles of clothing, personal belongings, or personal athletic equipment that are lost or damaged by theft, fire, natural disaster or other occurrence.

All field trips are optional and each requires a signed parental consent form/release plus cash payment for any fee involved. Trip permission slips will be distributed in
advance and are also available in the office. Signed permission slips and
cash payment is due in the camp office no later than 6:00 p.m. on the day prior
to the trip. No verbal permissions will be accepted. Space is VERY limited on most trips. There must be a minimum of 25 campers signed up at least three days prior to the date, or the trip will be canceled.
