Summer Camps & Programs: Terms & Conditions
Payment
All summer program registrations—except tuition for Camp Invention—are completed through the TNCS website. Payment may be made by credit card or FACTS (TNCS families only). You may pay in full or set up a monthly payment plan. Monthly payment plans are available through March 20, 2026. After March 20, 2026, payment in full is required at the time of registration. All payment plans must be completed by May 20, 2026.
Waitlists
When a camp reaches capacity, you may choose to add your child's name to an automated waitlist. Should a spot become available, we will contact families in the order in which requests were received.
TNCS Camp Cancellations
Camps must meet a minimum enrollment in order to run. If The New Century School cancels a session due to low enrollment or other reasons, families may choose to receive a full refund or transfer their child to another available session. TNCS strives to notify families as far in advance as possible if a session needs to be canceled.
Changes to Your Registration
Registration changes are handled on a case-by-case basis by request. We may not be able to accommodate all requests. Changes are subject to a $25 change fee.

Cancellations and withdrawals made before May 20, 2026 are subject to a withdrawal fee of up to 50% of tuition; no refunds will be issued after May 20, 2026.
Additional Fees
After the start of camp, account holders (parents) agree to be billed for any additional expenses incurred (e.g., adding extended care, lunch).
