FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
How can I register my child?
You can register by clicking the “Register” link on this website, or on our online portal: http://sasri.campbrainregistration.com Registration will open on February 1, 2024.
Is there before or after care? What is the earliest I can drop off my child?
Yes. Early drop-off begins at 7:30 a.m. Late pick-up ends at 5:00 p.m. There is an extra charge for early and late services: $60.00 per week for mornings, $75.00 per week for afternoons.
Does my child need to attend St. Andrew’s in order to attend one of your camps?
Absolutely not! All students are welcome at Summer at St. Andrew’s Camps. In fact, last year more than 70 percent of our campers were not St. Andrew’s students.
My child is a little nervous about attending camp for the first time. Can I take a tour of the school before I register?
Of course. Reach out to Charley Pelissier, director of summer and auxiliary programs, at cpelissier@standrews-ri.org or 401.246.1230 to set up an appointment.
What should my child bring to camp?
- All campers should bring a water bottle to camp.
- Most camps spend some time outside during the day. Campers should have sunscreen with them, and also applied before they arrive. The Adventure Program spends most or all of the day outside, so this is especially important for them.
- Campers in the Adventure Programs may spend some time at the beach. The Voyager program also may engage in some water play (sprinkler, slip-n-slide) during on campus times. For these reasons campers in both of these camps should bring a swimsuit and towel to camp.
- You will receive an email the week before camp starts with additional information with specifics regarding your child's camp.
- Campers attending full day programs will need to bring a lunch to camp.
Will my child need a lunch?
Our dining hall is not open this summer, your child will need to bring their own lunch.
What are the hours of camp?
Most camps run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. A few specialty camps have different hours. For instance, the Hoops with Hart program has a noon dismissal on Fridays.
Where do I drop my child off in the morning and pick them up at the end of the day?
That depends on your camp. You can see the map here for specific information about your child’s particular camp. Please note that all early drop off and late pick ups will be at the McCulloch Center for the Arts, accessible by the Upper Campus Road.
What if I have to cancel a camp? Will I get my money back?
- If you need to cancel 30 days or more prior to the start of the camp(s) you've registered for, a $50 deposit will be retained to cover processing costs for EACH camp reservation canceled.
- If you need to cancel within 14-30 days of the start of the camp(s) you've registered for, a 50 percent fee will be retained for EACH camp reservation canceled. Each full or half-day session is considered a separate reservation. (This policy is in effect regardless of when a reservation is made.)
- Regardless of when a reservation is made, no refunds will be granted for any camps canceled less than 14 days before the start of the first day of the reservation.
- If Summer at St. Andrew’s has to cancel a camp for any reason, you will get a full refund.
Is St. Andrew’s a religious camp?
St. Andrew’s is not a faith-based camp.
What are your COVID and masking policies?
Currently masks are not required at camp. We work closely with the Rhode Island Department of Health and follow all local state and federal guidelines in regards to COVID-19. Please check back often, as these regulations often change. You can see more details about our Covid-19 policies here.
Does my child need to be vaccinated in order to attend camp?
At this point we are not requiring campers to be vaccinated.
Who do I contact if my child has specific health requirements?
You can contact the camp director, Charley Pelissier, or our camp nurse at 401.246.1230.
What happens during inclement weather?
In most cases, camp will proceed as normal, with some shifting of locations to provide adequate weather protection. In the case of severe inclement weather, any cancellations will be communicated through email, social media, and the website.
What are the counselor-to-camper ratios?
Our ratios vary depending on the age level of the campers, and the type of program. We have a 1 to 5 ratio for our youngest campers. Larger groups are allowed for older campers and academic programs.
Is there a lost and found?
Yes, a lost and found area is kept in the McCulloch Center for the Arts Building.
Do you accept international campers?
Yes, we do accept day campers who live internationally, but they must have their own local lodging secured.
