NEW!

All Registrations Can be Done Online!

Beginning in 2024, all registrations, including full day and half-day options, should be completed online and will include discounts that were previously only available by phone.

If you encounter problems with online registration, please call 615-353-2151.

For issues with your membership and signing into your membership, please contact the membership department at 615-353-6984.

Age Limits

For all camps, campers must be within the posted age range on or before the first day of the registered class in order to enroll. Cheekwood has the right to cancel or switch the session of anyone registered in the wrong age group.

Lunch Care

If you are registering for a full day camp or a morning and afternoon camp for a single camper the same week, you do not need to purchase lunch care. That cost has been factored into the new camp rates.

If you are sending your camper for a half day camp only and need to add lunch care (12 – 1 PM) to extend your camper’s day, please email [email protected] for the link to register. These spots do not fill up and can be added at any time, including at the start of the week of camp.

Member Discounts

Family/Household and Society level memberships that include admission privileges for children 17 and under are eligible to receive a discount on all Cheekwood summer camps. Members must Sign In/Register on the ticketing page prior to checkout so that online purchasing discounts will apply. Names of members completing registration must match the names associated with the Cheekwood membership recorded in our membership database.

Please Note: In order to receive a Member discount, you must be a member before registering for summer camp. Visit our membership page to learn more about the wonderful benefits of a Cheekwood membership.

UPDATED!

Cancellation Policy

Due to an increased number of late cancellations in recent years, we have instituted a new policy to better serve our families on the waitlist and encourage timely cancellations that allow a spot to be filled.

If a refund is requested more than 30 days before the start date of the camp session(s), a 50% refund will be issued.
If a refund is requested with less than 30 days before the start date of the camp session(s), no refund will be issued

Registration cancellations/changes cannot be completed online. Please email [email protected] to request a cancellation.

Please note: We do not offer refunds for missed days of camp. Camps cancelled by Cheekwood because of low enrollment will automatically be refunded in full. You will be notified no less than 5 days in advance if a class is cancelled and will try to accommodate your child in another camp session.

Please Note: Cheekwood cannot ‘switch’ classes. If you cancel a class to register for another, the cancellation is considered a separate transaction and the administrative fee will apply. We do not offer refunds for missed days of camp. Camps cancelled by Cheekwood because of low enrollment will automatically be refunded in full. Cheekwood will notify you no less than 5 days in advance if a class is cancelled and will try to accommodate your child in another camp session.

Waiting List

Our waitlist enables parents to add their camper(s) to an electronic waitlist when they encounter a camp that is full. Cheekwood Camp Staff will manage the process by contacting parents if a spot becomes available.

Waitlist

Special Needs

Cheekwood will make every attempt to serve campers who require special attention or consideration. As we are not a special needs camp, there may be some needs that we are unable to meet. We have a policy not to accept campers whose needs are beyond our training or capabilities. If your child has a special need or a life threatening allergy, please contact the Education Department at 615-353-2151 to discuss their needs before registering. We want to prepare the staff and teachers in advance so that we can make your child’s camp experience the best and safest it can be. Camper Aids must be at least 18 years or older.

48-Hour Illness Policy

Your child must remain free of fever or vomiting for 48 hours before returning to camp. The 48 hours begins when your child last vomits or when the fever has broken and remains in a normal range. Cheekwood does not refund missed camp days in the event of illness.
