Description text goeNo, we welcome all campers to be a part of our summer experience. Our camps are open to all campers ages 3.5 - 18 years old. All Pre-K-aged campers (3.5 - 4.5 and older) must be toilet trained to attend camp.s here

When registering for camp, your camper’s age is calculated as of August 1, 2026. For example, if your camper turns 5 years old in July, you’ll be able to register them for a camp in June for 5 - 7-year-olds, despite only being 4 years old.

We use three carline locations, which can be found on the “Carline & Campus Info” tab of our website. Camps will be assigned drop-off/pick-up locations based on their facility location. Each weekly newsletter will outline which carline location to use.

Campers registered for Before Care and/or After Care (including the Super Care bundle) can be dropped off and picked up at the Hawk carline location. Please refer to the “Carline & Campus Info” tab of our website for more information regarding this carline location as well as a detailed map. When picking up your camper at After Care, remain in your vehicle, and a member of our staff will escort your camper(s) to you. You will be emailed a newsletter and carline card one week before the start of your scheduled camp with more information.

After Care ends at 5:30pm. Our late pick-up policy includes a $25.00 late fee every 15 minutes that will be added to your account.

Latin Camps reserves the right to cancel a camp that does not meet our required minimum number of campers. If a camp is canceled by Latin Camps due to low enrollment, families will be notified at least one week before the first day of camp and refunded in full.

Once a camper registration has been completed the following policy applies:

• The $45.00 registration fee is nonrefundable.

• Any cancellations requested between March 1 - 31, 2026 will be refunded in full minus a $50.00 cancellation fee per camp, per camper.

• Any cancellations requested between April 1 - 30, 2026 will be refunded in full minus a $100.00 cancellation fee per camp, per camper.

• All camp tuitions as of May 1, 2026 are nonrefundable even if the camp has a waitlist.

• Requested camp cancellations and partial or full tuition refunds are not dependent on the waitlist.

• Camp tuition and camp services may not be prorated or refunded for absences or sickness.

• Pending availability, families may request to switch camps (transfer funds) until May 1, 2026. There is no fee to swap camps if a seat is available.

• Please email our office — summercamps@charlottelatin.org — to request any changes or cancellations.

Please know that our wonderful staff will make sure that your camper is escorted to and from camp and also to lunch if you are with us full-day. Our instructors, counselors, nurses, and leadership staff will walk campers to their camp location.

Tennis, baseball, flag football, lacrosse, golf, field hockey, and outdoor soccer will use the “HUB” South Campus Sports Complex. If morning south campus campers have a full day planned with us we will shuttle them down in a CLS bus to then escort them to the dining hall. After lunch, we will escort them to check in with their afternoon instructors.

Please CALL the camp office 704-846-7277 to confirm a late drop-off or early pickup in advance. Our text pick number is only for regular hawk carline dismissal and is not used for early requests.

Except for Camp Victor, all late drop-offs and early pick-ups will take place at the Hawk carline location. Camp Victor late drop-offs and early pick-ups will take place at the Raintree carline location. Stay in your vehicle until a member of our staff arrives to assist you. We do not allow for early pick-ups 30 minutes prior to dismissal, as our staff will be busy ensuring the safe transition of all campers.

Please pre-schedule any early pick ups so we can plan accordingly. From the time of arrival to campus, allow us 10 minutes to notify your camper's instructor, wrap up their activity, collect their belongings, and walk them to the correct location.

Please notify our office if your campers have any anaphylactic allergies or medical needs. Families will need to provide us with an Epi-Pen/inhaler/medication and an action plan on the first day of camp. We ask you to please let us know if your camper is self-carrying or if you will drop it off in person on the first day of camp. The Epi-Pen should include a copy of your camper’s camp schedule, contact information, and listed allergies in a clear ziplock bag. Campers with anaphylactic allergies will have their Epi-Pen stored in the Latin Camps office or it will travel with their camp instructor throughout the day, pending family preference. All medications will be returned to the office for overnight storage. All instructors, counselors, and leadership staff are Epi-Pen trained in case of emergency. We also have an athletic trainer/nurse on staff and on campus throughout the summer. When camp is over, we will send home all medications.

First, check your camp description online. Note: Some sports camps require equipment to be brought to camp. When in doubt, email us at summercamps@charlottelatin.org or call 2704-846-7277.

Please pack your camper a snack each day:

1 half day camp = 1 snack
2 half day camps/full day camp = 2 snacks

We try to require very little if anything for attending camp. We will provide campers with what they need for a great experience if nothing is listed. All morning campers (8:30am - 11:30am) will leave prior to lunch, but we do recommend a morning snack be sent with a refillable water bottle in a bag they can carry.

All full-day campers will need to bring two (2) snacks (one for the morning, one for the afternoon), their bagged lunch, and a refillable water bottle in a bag they can carry. Lunch will be provided for campers who have registered for and purchased a lunch option. Camp Victor campers only will be provided the option of hot lunch but are still welcome to pack a bagged lunch if your camper prefers.

We ask families to send alternative snacks/lunch items that do not contain peanut butter/nuts. Great snack examples: goldfish, pretzels, grapes, apples, bananas, yogurt, carrots, applesauce, crackers, etc.

Sneakers and camp-appropriate clothing is a great start! Applying sunscreen before camp is recommended and closed-toed sneakers are required with the exception of water events. Please note the camp office will contact you prior to water events and will notify you of what to pack for your campers. Pre-K campers must be toilet trained. We ask that a change of clothes be labeled in their bag/backpack. The camp lost and found will be held in the lobby of the Student Activities Center (SAC) at the camp table. All lost and found items will be donated at the duration of camp on August 1, 2026.

We love technology at camp; however, there is a time and place for it. During the camp day, we will ask that all devices be put away. If your camper has a cell phone or personal device they are bringing to camp (with your permission and understanding that Latin Camps are not responsible for this device), we ask that it be kept in a safe and non-disruptive place. Encourage your camper to communicate with their instructor or camp counselor if they need assistance for any reason.
