After-School Program FAQs
How do I register for After-School Camp? Please make a family profile in the Parent Dashboard. Once you have a profile indicating your child's school, you will get all registration announcements when they become available. These emails will provide detailed days and times that registration will go live. Please note that there are 3-4 sessions of HOFTC in a school year (the amount varies by school), so you will need to register each time if you would like your child to attend HOFTC for the whole school year.
What is the cancellation/refund policy? • Cancellations made (in writing) on or before the Friday prior to the start of an After-School Camp session: All tuition returned. • Cancellations made (in writing) during the first week of an After-School Camp session: 50% of tuition returned. • Cancellations made (in writing) after the first week of an After-School Camp session: No refund. • Campers sent home for disciplinary reasons or because of homesickness: No refund • Campers sent home due to illness or injury: No refund • Short or prolonged school closure due to a COVID outbreak or any other reason: No refund • Hall of Fame Team Camp will not cancel programs due to seasonal, weather-related conditions. However, in the case of extreme weather, HOFTC may cancel or postpone programs for the safety of the participants. Please check your email if extreme weather is forecast. We will notify you of cancellations ASAP. Hall of Fame Team Camp cannot provide refunds for cancellations or postponements that are weather-related. • If Hall of Fame Team Camp, LLC cancels an entire session for any reason, we will issue full refunds.
Is it competitive to get my child into the program? It's not necessarily competitive to get into the program, but it can be competitive to get into specific classes. Historically families have no trouble getting a spot each day, but the class may not be your child's first choice. Some classes are known to fill within minutes of registration opening, but we typically do not fill every single class every single day. However, classes that are offered on Wednesdays will fill the day that registration opens.
How does waitlisting work? When sessions fill up, you will be given the option to join the waitlist. Your card will not be charged if you put your kids on the waitlist. When a spot opens up, we will contact families on the waitlist, starting at the top, by email to ask if they want the spot. If no, we'll remove that family from the waitlist and move on to the next family. If yes, we'll process the enrollment and the deposit will be charged. The family will receive a confirmation email.
Is HOFTC offered on non-school days and during holiday breaks? HOFTC offers on-school-site after-school camp only on days when SPS is in session. Please check out our FlexSpace page for any upcoming School-Out-Days and holiday break camps.
Does HOFTC provide transportation? After-school camp takes place on your child's school campus. HOFTC does not provide transportation to or from on-school-site after-school camp. During the registration process you will indicate if your child can self-release (i.e. walk or bike home), attend on-school-site aftercare run by your school's licensed childcare provider (not available at all locations, please inquire with your child's school about aftercare options), or will be picked-up. Campers should be picked up within 5 minutes of class end-time.
What are your Hours of Operation? Hours vary by location. Please refer to your school's flier for details on hours.
Is HOFTC a licensed child care entity? We are not. We are an after-school enrichment provider that also offers the option of aftercare.
What will my child eat? A small snack will be provided at Olympic View Elementary. Alki also offers snacks. Campers at other locations will be responsible for bringing their own snack and water. Note: Cascadia does not have a designated snack time as part of after-school camp.
I don't need child care, can my child still enroll in after-school programs? Yes! Enrichment is our primary focus.
How do I apply for a scholarship? No eligibility criteria or documentation are needed to request or be awarded a scholarship. During the registration process, there will be an option to request a 50%, 75%, 100%, or $100 scholarship (amounts vary by school). Once your child's enrollment is processed, your scholarship will be awarded to your account and your remaining balance (if any) will be charged to your card on file. Those receiving 100% scholarships can select "pay by check" during checkout so that the registration system lets you finalize your enrollment request. Please refer to your school’s flyer for details on scholarship limitations (e.g. one per quarter, one per school year, etc.). Applies to HWK8 only: During registration, select the "Pay By Check" option at checkout and email sara@hof-teamcamp.com to notify of the request. Further instructions will be provided upon receipt of the scholarship request email. No eligibility criteria or documentation are needed to request or be awarded a scholarship. The percentage awarded to campers each session varies depending on the number of requests, school community donations, and vendor partner donations. Historically, HWK8 campers received around a 40% scholarship per session. Exact scholarship amounts will be emailed to families about a week after registration closes once all requests and donations are calculated. Families should pay their remaining balance upon notification.
Can I donate to the scholarship fund? Yes please! There is an option to donate to the scholarship fund during the registration process.
Are you hiring instructors? Yes! We are in the process of hiring After-School Camp counselors and site managers, and are always in search of new vendor partners who offer creative programming. Please refer interested parties to the Director of After-School Programs.
How Can I Unsubscribe from Hall of Fame Team Camp Emails? You should only opt out of "marketing" type emails. We cannot edit a parent's marketing email preferences on parents' behalf. You can opt out of receiving marketing emails from Hall of Fame Team Camp by clicking the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any marketing email you receive, or by updating your Email Preferences from the "My Account" page of your Parent Dashboard. If we mis-label promotional emails as "informational" (sometimes we do this, as it can be difficult to determine if a certain message is "informational" or "marketing!), you will not be able to opt-out/unsubscribe, in which case you may mark the message as spam. This will prevent you from receiving ANY emails from us moving forward - including potentially important emails about your camper's enrollment.
What is HOFTC's Tax I.D. Number? Our EIN is 84-3085473.
