2008
The summer program will offer:
- A relaxing environment where children can be with friends
- A time for reading and being read to.
- Arts and crafts, cooking and music.
- Swimming, sports, field trips.
- Special center-based events
Tuition fees will be assessed for
the weeks the child is registered according to your completed summer
contract. Vacation dates may be revised prior to May 23. Parents
must submit a revised contract and see Center Supervisor prior to May
23, 2008.
A non-refundable one-week advanced payment is due at summer
registration to secure a place in the program for your child. This amount
will be credited against the tuition charge for the final week that your
child is enrolled in the summer program.

* As of July 1, 2008, a new fee schedule will go into
effect. Please look for the posting with the new rates at your summer
site.
Children participate in swimming activities 2-3 times a week (weather
permitting). Prior to Summer Registration, you will receive information
about the fees and the procedure for obtaining pool passes. All children
have the option to pay a daily swimming fee or purchase a swimming pass.
Fees associated with swimming are determined by the city or township based
on residency.
If parents want their child(ren) to participate in the field trip activities
they will be responsible for the fees (admission fee plus minimal transportation
charge). Field trip information will also be sent home prior to the Summer
Registration. Children are transported in Bethlehem Area School District
buses.
