Things To Know
Childcare Tax Credit
The childcare tax credit is worth up to 35% of the qualifying costs for care, depending on your income. The limit is $3,000 of your total cost for the care of one qualifying person. If you pay for the care of two or more qualifying persons, you can claim up to $6,000 of your costs.
Budget-Friendly
Our goal is that every parent/guardian is able to afford this camp. That is why after it is all said and done our Full-Day Camp cost is just over $11 per hour per child and our Half-Day camp cost is less than $13 per hour per child. We don’t know of any other camp in our industry providing this value at such a reasonable rate!
In the chance that our weather turns bad during camp hours, we take shelter at the Hilton DoubleTree in the breezeway under their main check-in lobby. On the off chance we have an early-season hurricane/tropical storm that will negatively impact us, we will cancel camp. You will receive a text message and email the night before to notify you of the canceled camp day(s). A make-up day(s) will be credited for your camper to use at a future date. We keep a close eye on the weather to ensure your child’s safety both in and out of the water.
Daily Camp Preparation
Every day campers should…
- Bring an insulated lunchbox of food OR $10 for lunch at the pier.
- Alternatively, meal plans are available for just $50 during the signup process. This covers the camper’s lunch all week.
