Summer at Pembroke Hill reserves the right to cancel any camp due to low enrollment or unforeseen circumstances. If a camp is canceled, families will receive a full refund.

To withdraw from a camp, families must submit a cancellation request by May 22, 2026, to receive a full refund. After this date, cancellations are non-refundable. Exceptions may be considered for documented illness, injury, or family emergency and may result in a 50% credit toward a future program. No refunds are given for absences or missed days.

• We understand that summer schedules can change. If you discover that your child cannot attend a class for which they are enrolled, you may transfer them to another class. Please note that you will be responsible for any difference in course fees. Transfers must be made by a Summer Programs staff member and must be completed at least seven days prior to the first day of the class.

• Refunds for confirmed cancellations will be processed as follows:
  • For class(es) in Weeks 5-9 (June 23 - August 1), refunds are expected by September 1.
  • For class(es) in Weeks 1-4 (May 27 - June 20), refunds are expected by July 1.

If your student is enrolled in a full-day Raiders Adventures camp, lunch is already included in the camp fee — you do not need to add it separately.

• If your student is combining a morning specialty camp with an afternoon specialty camp, you will need to add the lunch option.

Lunch is $45 per week and is provided through our on-campus dining service. We are happy to accommodate food allergies and dietary needs. Please note: discounts cannot be applied to lunch.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Summer Office for assistance.

• In addition to our classes, the Extended Day program is available for families needing additional care until 6:00 p.m. Extended Day includes both free play and organized activities, creating a balanced and engaging experience for students.
• Families who wish to use Extended Day on a drop-in basis must have a credit card on file. The drop-in fee will be automatically charged to the card the following week.

Extended Day is available Monday–Friday from 3:30–6:00 PM for all nine weeks of Summer at Pembroke Hill. Extended Day takes place in the Deramus Gym on campus.

To register:

1. Select the camp session your child will attend for that week.

2. As you continue through registration, you will see a screen called Session Options (or Additional Childcare).

3. Check the box labeled Extended Day – Lower School (this is the Extended Day add-on).

4. Continue through checkout.

You’ll see the Extended Day option after each camp registration, so you can add it for the specific weeks you need. Extended Day may not appear like a “camp” in the system, but if the Extended Day session option is selected, your child is registered.

If you need help, contact the Summer Office and we can add Extended Day for you.

• Early Childhood and Lower School classes will be held on our Wornall Campus (400 W. 51st St), while Middle School and Upper School classes will take place on our Ward Parkway Campus (5121 State Line Road).
• For everyone’s safety, please follow these guidelines along with using standard caution:
  • Drive cautiously at all times.
  • Refrain from using cellphones while driving in the parking lot.
  • Follow designated entrance and exit patterns.
  • Avoid parking in a space to wait for your student.
• Drop off begins 15 minutes before class starts (8:15 a.m. or 12:15 p.m.).
• If your student requires a late drop-off or early pick-up, please call the Summer Programs office at 816-936-1321. This will help us ensure they get to where they need to be.

• Once a summer class has reached its maximum enrollment, PHS forms a waiting list.   There is no cost to remain on a waiting list.  If an opening becomes available, families are contacted in the order in which they were added to the waiting list
• The waitlist is an automated system that will follow a first come first serve basis. The waitlist spot opens and holds for three days. If this window is missed, the waitlist will automatically move on to the next in line.

The Pre-K Chess Club Expanded Experience is an optional add-on that appears during registration on the weeks it’s available.

To register:

1. Register your child for their camp session as usual.

2. As you continue through checkout, you’ll reach a page called Session Options (or Additional Options/Childcare).

3. If the Chess Club Expanded Experience is offered that week, you’ll see it listed there—check the box to add it.

4. Continue to finish registration.

About the Expanded Experience:

• 45 minutes per day

• 5 days per week

• Additional fee: $120

• A fun way to introduce younger students to chess and build confidence through guided practice.

If you don’t see the option on your checkout screen and believe it should be available, email the Summer Office and we can help add it.
