FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can my child sign up even if s/he does not attend Pacific Northern Academy?
Yes! Create Academy is open to all students in grade K-8 based on the coming school year. Students must be age 5 by September 1st in order to attend.
How are campers grouped? Can they be in the same camp as their friend?
Camps are grouped by the campers grade during the following school year. For example, students who will be in Kindergarten during the 2022-2023 school year are eligible to attend camp. Students must be age 5 by September 1, 2022.

Are there any additional fees?
A non-refundable fee of $60 is required at the time of registration in order to secure your child’s spot at camp.
Additional fees may be applied to certain camps to cover the cost of additional supplies/materials/transportation, etc. Any additional fees will be noted in the camp description.
Do I have to pay in full for a camp to be registered?
No. Several payment options are available to parents. The $60 non-refundable registration fee must be paid in full at the time of registration in order to secure your child’s spot at camp. Camps must be paid in full two weeks before the start of the camp.
What is your cancellation/refund policy? Can I transfer from one class or camp to another?
Campers may transfer to another camp, provided there is space available. Parents are responsible for any additional fees associated with the camp.
Refund Policy Due to PNA Cancellation:
If Create Academy (by our decision or by municipal/state order due to COVID-19) cancels a week of camp, we will refund all fees associated with that week. The $60 annual registration fee is nonrefundable and covers all Create Academy programming throughout the year (summer camp, school vacation camps, and after-school enrichment activities.)
Updated Parent Cancellation Policy:
If Create Academy receives a cancellation request at least two weeks before the start of the registered camp, all camp tuition will be refunded, minus the $60 yearly registration fee. There are no refunds within two weeks of camp. However, campers may be transferred to another week at the camp director’s discretion if space is available.
Refunds will not be given if a child cannot attend camp due to quarantine or a possible COVID-19 exposure that occurred outside the camp setting. We will, however, attempt to transfer the child to another camp week after the quarantine has ended if possible.
