FAQs

In previous years I've signed up for camps through a different website. What happened?

In an effort to streamline the camp booking process, we've created a new and user-friendly hub for all your needs related to summer camps - both academic and athletic - at Chaminade High School. This is the only site through which bookings can be made. Bookings cannot be made over the phone or in person. All payment is handled via credit card.

How are summer camp reservations made?

All bookings for all camps are powered through CampBrain, an online reservations platform. Bookings can be accessed through the main site for summer camps. All offerings and time slots are viewable through the site. You can sign up for multiple camps at a time.

Is there a capacity limit to the camps? Is there a waitlist?

Yes, each camp has a specific capacity number. Once a camp has been filled, an option will display to be added to a waitlist. When and if a spot becomes available, you will receive an email notification with a link that is valid for a specified period of time.

Can I sign up for more than one camp?

Yes, the program is designed so that students can participate in more than one experience. You can select multiple camps in CampBrain and "check out" one time.

How do I tell if my child is eligible for a certain camp?

Each camp on the site has specific requirements, such as gender, age, and, in some cases, experience. Camp Brain automatically filters for these requirements and will only display the camps for which your child is eligible.

I've signed up for a camp, but now I want to switch camps. How can I do that?

This cannot be completed online. Please contact camps@chaminade-hs.org with all inquiries related to summer camps at Chaminade. Please note that all switches are subject to a $25 fee. All cancellations are subject to an $85 fee.

I've signed my child up for a camp in the morning and a camp in the afternoon. Is there a place for him/her to eat lunch?

Yes, students who are spending the day on campus with us can make use of our supervised cafeteria to eat lunch. Drinks and light snacks/food will be available for purchase.

I have to get to work before my child's start time. Can I drop my child off early?

Yes, the cafeteria will be supervised starting at 7:30 a.m. each day. Please enter through the Darby Auditorium entrance on Saville Road.

My son is interested in attending Chaminade High School. How do I schedule a tour?

Tours for campers will be available throughout the summer. More information will be distributed during the camp session. In the meantime, please contact the Office of Admissions at admissions@chaminade-hs.org for additional assistance.

My child attended camp in the summer of 2025. Are camp registration fees tax deductible?

Parents may claim a child care deduction using our tax ID number: 11-1631753.

What is your cancellation policy?

Bookings can be canceled and refunded, subject to an $85 fee, up until the start of the first day of camp. No cancellations/refunds will be made after the start of the first day of camp. Additionally, fees are never prorated based on the number of days of attendance.
