COMMITMENT TO CAMP

We are so proud of HOLA and the impact it has on the lives of our campers and everyone involved with the program. HOLA operates for five weeks, which allows for genuine relationship building, growth in academic skills, development of confidence, perseverance, and so much more.

In order to accomplish this, we ask that our families fully commit to HOLA. Five weeks may seem like a bit of a commitment, but our funding (and your camper's development) is dependent on consistent participation. If you anticipate travel or have other summer activities lined up, we ask that you consider a different Hale Summer Camp or apply for HOLA in a future season. This ensures every open spot is fully enjoyed by a camper who can join us for all five weeks.

By checking the box below, you fully commit to all five weeks of this program.

I commit to HOLA!

Thank you for completing our application! We will be collecting applications through March 15. You will hear back from us on the status of your camp enrollment by March 29. We will then officially enroll you in our system. The next step will be camper paperwork and bus registration. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to Jackie Ross, Director of Camp and Youth Programs at jross@hale.education or at 781-326-1770.
