Wavus Camp for Girls – Admission Information, Policies
and Forms
The Wavus Camp for Girls limits its enrollment to approximately
150 campers, aged 8 to 16, for each of the 3 1/2 week sessions.
Experience has shown us that this is an ideal number to ensure
that each camper receives individual attention while participating
in groups large enough to learn the lessons of "give and
take" with her peers. Because of our extensive wilderness
tripping program, only about half this number of girls is at Wavus
on any given day. Junior Wavus, for eight and nine-year-olds,
and a few ten-year-old girls, is limited to 48 girls per 10-day
session.
Convinced that a girl’s social maturity is enhanced by meeting
and interacting with girls from different parts of the world,
we enrich our enrollment by accepting campers from many different
regions of the United States and several foreign countries as
well.
Kieve-Wavus admits campers of any race or religion to all of
the rights, privileges, and activities generally accorded or made
available, and does not discriminate on the basis of race or religion
in administering its policies or scholarship programs. Kieve-Wavus
is an equal opportunity employer as well.
The available openings usually fill quite quickly; therefore we
suggest that you submit your application as early as possible.
We give priority to returning campers and their siblings until
October 15th; next we accept those who have been placed on
the previous year’s wait list until October 31st. Any
remaining places are filled on a first-come, first served basis.
Since wait-listed girls do receive priority acceptance the
following year, we advise you to place your application on
our wait list even if the chances for acceptance in the current
session seem slim. No deposit is required for inclusion on the
wait list.
Deposit Refund Policy
Once a child is admitted into camp,
the $750 deposit is non-refundable. Tuition payments are also
non-refundable, but in special circumstances please contact the
director.
