Our amazing teachers will be staffing summer camps, and more information about each instructor can be found here.
Instructors will send out emails to all registered families a week before camps start with more detailed information about individual plans.
If you need to contact the camp leader during the camp please call (360) 574-5752. This rings to our front office and a staff member there can help you from there.

Campers should bring the following:
Packed Lunch and Snacks
Water Bottle
Sturdy shoes for outdoor adventures (all camps)
Sunscreen (For Preschool camps, sunscreen must be labeled with the child’s name, and must be accompanied by a Request for Administration of Sunscreen form. For K-6 campers, they can retain and apply their own sunscreen, with or without adult assistance, if you wish.)
Additional items needed for your child's camp. Instructors will contact families in advance with more information.

Currently enrolled Gardner families will receive an emailed invoice through FACTS in a similar manner to other charges throughout the school year. Prospective families and non-Gardner families will enroll in the camps through the FACTS website, and will be asked to electronically sign a waiver and permissions, as well as pay the course fees. All payments must be submitted before registration is finalized. Please complete payment to secure your spot; enrollment is on a first-paid, first-enrolled basis.
If the camps you are interested in fill up, you will not be invoiced and/or will not be able to register through the website. You will have the option of registering for another camp, and/or being placed on a waitlist for the desired camp. If for some reason your payment went through for a full camp, you will receive a refund or the opportunity to transfer to a different camp.
If a camp for which you have paid is cancelled by the Gardner School for any reason, a full refund will be issued. (You will have the option to transfer to a different open camp if you wish.)
If plans change and you wish to transfer to a different camp (either in the same week or a different week), please contact llinderman@gardnerschool.org to check availability and make that arrangement. There is no fee for transferring camps, but the transfer is subject to availability.
There will be a minimum $25 fee assessed per cancelled camp session for any cancellations. If you need to cancel registration for any reason*, 14 days notice is required to receive a full refund (less the $25 fee.) Cancellations with less than 14 days notice but more than 24 hours notice will receive a 50% refund. No refunds will be issued to cancellations within 24 hours of the start of camp*.
* If your child tests positive for COVID four days or fewer before starting camp, please contact llinderman@gardnerschool.org for clearance and/or further instructions.
