Session 1: June 30 -
July 18, 2008
On behalf of Montclair Sate University, it is my pleasure to announce the 27th Annual Summer Camp for qualified youngsters. The Summer Camp Program will accept applications from students who will be entering 2nd through the 11th grades in the Fall of 2008. There will be two, three week camp sessions this summer.
Session I: June 30 to July 18, 2008 Session II: July 21 to August 8, 2008
Each Session will run from Monday through Friday except on July 4th, which is Independence Day.
Students accepted into the Summer Camp Program will take three (3) non-credit academic courses. Since the Program's purpose is to provide balanced enrichment, each student is required to register for one course in humanities, one in mathematics and one in science. Students in grades 1-3 will register for two cultural/recreation courses (except Ice Skating) and students in grades 4 and above will register for one cultural/recreation course.
We look forward to seeing you on Montclair State's Campus this summer. Please call (973) 655-4104 if you have any questions.
Sincerely yours,
Steven A. Nash Aznir Haron
Director
Assistant Director
Faxed Applications Register by fax: (973) 655-7895. All faxed applications must include full tuition payment ($1,795) via MasterCard, Visa or Discover Card. Note: American Express is not accepted.
Qualifications and Selection Procedure Applicants must have completed grade 1 by June 23, 2008 but have not yet begun grade 11. They must be in the top 5 percent of their class in academic performance or in the 95th percentile on a tested area of the standardized tests administered by their schools, i.e., Terra Novas, Iowas, CATS, SRAs, etc. In addition, students who have been identified as academically gifted by their school districts or have participated in a local gifted program are invited to apply. If a student has a strong recommendation from a teacher or administrator as potentially being in one of the above categories, then he or she is also welcome to apply. Qualified students will be accepted on a FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED basis according to the date of the postmark on their applications. Notification of Acceptance Initially a post card will be sent indicating acceptance into the program. Student schedules and booklists will be mailed to applicants approximately two weeks prior to start of session. Tuition Tuition for each three-week 2008 Summer Camp session is $1,795. This includes instruction, use of facilities and equipment, computer time, a camp T-shirt, group photo and lunch every day. Tuition does not include the cost of textbooks, lab material and fees. Transportation is not provided. No child will be accepted on the first day unless tuition is paid in full!
The deposit and balance may be paid by MasterCard, Visa, Discover Card, check or money order. Cash will not be accepted. Since the program is self-supporting and therefore dependent upon tuition payments, no student will be permitted to attend class if his or her tuition is not paid in full. Discount A discount of $170.00 is available for each additional member of the same family after payment of full tuition for the first child is made. Refund Policy Written notice of withdrawal will entitle registrants to a refund (less an $80 processing fee) provided such notice is postmarked prior to the first day of class, Monday, June 30, 2008 (session 1) and prior to the first day of class, Monday, July 21, 2008 (session 2).
