Meals

Please note: all our programs are strictly nut free

For programs that run longer than 3 hours students are encouraged to bring their own lunch, as space will be provided for them to eat. Most of our programs have a small snack break. Please ensure that all allergies are listed in your student(s) profile.

If students wish to purchase lunch there are a number of on/near campus options for food. In order to travel outside of the program space students must first have parental permission.

Refunds

There is a $50 administrative fee for cancellation requests. Cancellations made 48 hours before the first class will receive a full refund minus the administrative fee. Requests for refunds after the deadline will not be processed. Refunds will not be issued for absences or missed days or due to removal of a student from the program.
