All the Details
More details are coming soon!
Camp Katan (preschool camp) will run a single 9-week session in Summer 2021, in compliance with current state preschool licensing regulations that would otherwise require children to take 2 weeks off between sessions. Currently we plan to allow campers in 1st-8th grades to sign up for 1-week camp sessions, state and county regulations permitting. Camp Yoetz (9th-10th grades) will consist of 4-week sessions. We realize that circumstances are rapidly changing due to the COVID pandemic, and for that reason we are offering a very flexible refund policy for summer 2021. If we change dates or cancel sessions, you will receive a full refund, including your deposit.
For complete details about dates and rates, please see the Dates & Rates page.
