Summer Camp
LASER Summer Camp
Last Updated: May 2024
LASER Summer Camp 2024 will run from Wednesday, June 26th to Wednesday, August 28th at Bryant Elementary School from 8 am to 6:30 pm. All children 5 to 12 years old may attend LASER summer camp, regardless of which elementary school they attend.
This summer, we will have three age groups (incoming K-1st graders, incoming 2nd-3rd graders & incoming 4th-7th graders) that will have different activities and field trips based on the weekly theme. Weekly activities will include a swimming pool day, field trips and enriching scheduled activities on-site at LASER on Mondays and Fridays. There will be an overnight camp at a state park lodge on July 17 - July 19 for 4th-7th graders. If you do not wish your child to participate in the overnight camp, please sign them up for the 2nd-3rd grade group. Please see the flyer below for exciting weekly themes and corresponding dates; our daily calendar of field trips and activities will be available in June.
At LASER, we intentionally build a weekly schedule that allows for ample opportunity for friendship making and community building. We believe that children thrive when they have a deep sense of connection to place. We build that into everything we do at LASER. From time on site with an art, music, or sports specialist to exciting field trips, our goal remains the same. Children will all discover new passions, form life-long friendships, and develop a strong sense of connection.
Please see below for our weekly themes, dates and prices. 2024 Summer Camp Daily Field Trip Schedule will be available in June.

Daily Calendar
What To Bring
For summer camp, your child should bring a backpack with:
- Nutritious, nut-free sack lunch that does not require refrigeration or heating
- Good walking shoes (flip flops may be worn as secondary footwear only)
- Water bottle
- Weather-appropriate clothing
- Sunscreen, sunglasses, and hat (sunscreen is required only if your child is not using LASER’s complementary sunscreen)
Please note that LASER is a nut-free program. If you pack a lunch that includes nuts, your child is not able to eat it at LASER. We will keep the lunch you provided in our kitchen and give back to you at pick up time. We will provide a lunch for free if it’s the first time, and we charge $15 if repeated. If you forget to pack lunch for your child, we charge $15 to provide lunch.
Our Summer Camp Policies
Please see below for our registration and cancellation policies:
- At the time of registration, you will need to pay 50% of tuition for your registered weeks of camp. There is also an option to pay in full, if you would prefer. After June 1st, 100% of tuition will be due at registration.
- For children covered by subsidies, please contact billing@laserchildcare.org for a coupon code to waive the payment due at registration.
- Cancellation requests must be submitted 4 weeks prior to the start of the camp week. There will be no refund if cancellation happens within 4 weeks.
- Each week of camp has a $25 non-refundable cancellation fee. This fee is included in the cost of the week; but in the event of cancellation (even if it is prior to the four-week deadline), you will be responsible for the non-refundable $25/camp week.
- The “new student registration” fee is $25/week for up to a maximum of $100 for all new students. If your child already participates in our after-school program, their new student registration fee has already been paid and they will not be charged a registration fee for summer camp. Students who have paid a portion of this $100 fee will continue to pay until they meet the $100 maximum.
- A late registration fee of $25 will be added to any registrations received within 7 days of the desired camp week.
Other Forms
The Department of Health requires one of the following sunscreen forms to be completed for each student.
If you are okay with Banana Boat SPF 50+ for Kids being applied to your child, please fill out the Program-Provided Sunscreen form.
If you would prefer an alternative sunscreen that you provide, please fill out the Sunscreen from Home form.
If your child has any allergies or medication that will need to be kept at LASER for routine use or in case of emergency, we will need the following forms completed per medication.
Once your child starts at LASER, we will need the medication along with the following applicable forms in a Zip-loc bag with your child's name on it.
