Parents are asked to have their children wear apparel that is appropriate for summer camp activities. We require all campers to wear tennis shoes each day.  All registered campers will receive an Adventure Tech shirt on the first day of camp. They will be expected to wear that shirt each day.  The dress code requires long pants, closed-toe shoes, and hair pulled back (minimal jewelry, please).

Waiting List

No seats in the camp you are interested in? Place your child on the Summer Camps waiting list. The waiting list option will appear in lieu of the “add to cart” option when a class is at capacity.

Allergies

GTC does not guarantee an allergen-free environment; if a student has food or other allergies, please notify the camp administrator or staff.

NOTE: Culinary camp recipes may contain nuts, nut oils, shellfish, gluten, dairy, produce and other food allergens.

Drop-Off

• Parents/guardians must escort their children to and from the building and sign them in and out each day.

• Each parent must show a driver’s license or valid ID when picking up their child.

Safety and Security

Do not call or text your children during camp hours because this may disrupt the class or cause an accident. GTC is not responsible for the loss of personal items such as video games and cell phones.

Disruptive Behavior

Campers engaging in disruptive behavior will be sent home after an initial warning and will not be allowed to return. This includes inappropriate behavior, fighting, shoving and inappropriate language.

Special Needs

If a student has any physical, emotional, or educational special needs that would require special accommodations by camp staff, it is the responsibility of the legal guardian to disclose that information at the time of enrollment so camp staff are aware. Note: GTC does not guarantee all special accommodations can be met but will attempt to provide reasonable accommodations with advanced notice.

Instructors

Each Adventure Tech site is managed by a qualified staff of GTC Instructors and Teacher Aides. Summer Camp instructors are highly qualified educators from our local area who are selected for their abilities and expertise. They have years of experience and are excited about working with children and teens, along with providing a creative and stimulating learning environment. All camp staff has completed a screening process that meets the requirements set forth by Greenville Technical College, and all staff members are required to attend an in-service training orientation.  All staff members have obtained successful criminal background checks.
