​Please read through these enrollment steps before you apply so you understand our process!
​
Step 1: Apply ​
​
Please note that all new students will need to pay our one time $25 application fee. Once your child is in the system, you will not have to pay this again for any of our programs.
**Families who are new to Growing Wild are strongly encouraged to attend an Open House with their child prior to attending Summer Camp. Open House sign up: https://forms.gle/nZtLkExH3GsLrHJV7
Camp registrations will be confirmed by email within a week of application submission.
Step 2: Deposits
After your application has been accepted, we will confirm your schedule in an email and invoice you a non-refundable deposit for each week enrolled to hold your child's space. These deposits will be due by 2/28/25. The deposit will be applied to your tuition for each week enrolled. Your space is not guaranteed until this deposit is received! Thank you for your patience as we will be manually processing applications as they come in.
In the case that Summer Camp must be canceled due to COVID-19, all deposits will be returned.
Step 3: Forms and Invoices
In April, we will send all families an email directing them to their forms and tuition invoices in Brightwheel. Tuition may be paid between that date and April 30th. All forms must also be completed within that time period.
Because our space is limited and demand is high, your tuition must be paid in full by 4/30/25 or your spot may be given to someone on the waitlist. Again, deposits are non-refundable, so be sure you have paid your tuition in time to keep your spot! Tuition is non-refundable.
