Can my child be picked up by someone other than his/her parents?

Yes, provided that SAW has received your transportation release form (available in the brochure). We must receive a written note from you if someone other than those listed on the transportation release form is going to pick up your child. Please note that in order to protect the campers, we will not release them to someone other than those we’ve received written permission for.

Can I change my child’s course selections?

Yes. If you do so prior to the start of camp, there is no charge. However, there will be a $25 fee per change after the start of each session.

I normally pick my child up at 3:00, but I am running very late today. How do I make last minute arrangements for my child to go into the Extended Day program?

All remaining campers are escorted into the Extended Day program at 3:10. There’s no need to worry that your child will be waiting for you at the pick up site.

Is the $150 deposit that’s due with the registration form per child, per class, or per session?

SAW requires a $150 deposit per camper enrolled, regardless of the number of courses or sessions.

Is the deposit refundable?

The deposit is not refundable.

Can I get a SAW receipt mailed home?

Yes. Inform the SAW office and the receipt letter will be mailed home within 24 hours.

Because the registration form asks for our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choices for courses, how will I know what courses we get enrolled in?

SAW enrollment is done on a first come, first serve basis. We will enroll your child according to your preferences. Sometimes courses will fill and we need to look at 2nd and possibly 3rd choices at that point. In either case, a confirmation letter detailing the courses that you’ve been enrolled in is mailed home within 24 hours of receiving your form.

Where is the lost and found located?

We have several lost and found locations at SAW. One is at the pool, one is in the Alumni Gymnasium, and the other is next to the Dining Hall.

Can I get a prorated refund if my child is unable to attend a full session due to injury or illness?

Certainly. SAW is happy to accommodate parents and campers. However, reasons outside of injury or illness will be considered on a case-by-case basis only.

Does everyone enrolled at SAW go swimming?

No, only those campers signed up for morning swim lessons or an afternoon Recreation course get to enjoy the SAW pool.

Is there a sibling discount?

There is no longer a sibling discount available, however, financial aid is available – read below for details.

Is Financial Aid available?

Yes, you can contact Nora Zahner at 203-788-5977. Please leave your name and mailing address and a scholarship application form will be mailed to you within 24 hours.

Can I sponsor a camper?

Yes, SAW is very interested in providing the best summer experience to as many campers as possible.
