Our annual appeal and our Leonardo Benefit, our Trustees and Friends support this principle: No child should be denied the opportunity to learn for want of financial resources. This includes before and after care costs.

These funds provide partial and full tuition assistance:

• Open Workshop Fund – annual appeal gifts committed to providing access to all who request it
• AC Gilbert Fund – to support Fair Haven youth
• Catherine Greene Fund – to encourage girl mechanics
• Directed Scholarships – given by companies for employee children
  • by Hamden Rotary for gifted workshop learners: from Helen Street, Bear Path, Church Street Schools;
  • by Subway Corporation for gifted workshop learners: from Mathewson, Orange Ave., and Live Oaks Schools in Milford.

Each class requires a minimum enrollment. We must cancel or restructure classes that do not meet that minimum.

Some students arrive early and/or stay late. Flexible supervision is available from 7am to 5:30 pm.

Fee: $6 per hour. (So, for a child who stays two hours after class for 5 days, (2 x 5 x $6 = $60) and so on.)

We must have a credit card on file to enroll for after hours care. Your card will be charged at the end of the week when hours are confirmed.

If you choose not to pay the fee in full, you can secure your registration with a 50% payment + a credit card number to be placed on file. Balances must be paid by June 1st. If we do not receive a check by June 1, the balance will be charged automatically to your credit card. Your signature on the registration form will authorize this.

We provide a morning snack.

Pack lunch in a plastic bag with a name on it.

We will refrigerate lunches, as required by law. NO nylon lunch packs, NO lunch boxes, NO ice blocks.

Our programs are designed for 5 year olds, prepared for a long day, experienced in groups, comfortable with 7 year olds. Any doubt? Bring them in for a trial project during weekend walk-in hours. Please contact us to let us know you are coming.

For cancellations before June 1st, we retain a $25 clerical fee. You will receive a refund.

After June 1st, there will be a $25 clerical fee and the balance will be converted to a credit for future workshops.

Jack Viele would have been a counselor now had not leukemia captured him in 1999. His family and friends preserve his memory with a fund that helps us accommodate children who need extra care to enjoy our workshops. Talk to us if your child needs special guidance or support. Call Sally Hill for information. 203.777.1833.

All registration forms must be filled out online to upload, or to mail, or to hand deliver. We require this for legibility issues.

Fairness requires that we accept registrations only as they reach the Registrar’s desk…either by mail, or hand delivery. Sally Hill or Karen Lenahan will answer questions about space (203.777.1833).

No phone and no fax reservations.

Registration forms must be paid in full or accompanied by a 50% deposit + a credit card number to be placed on file. Balances are due by June 1, 2009.

A medical form current within 3 years must be on file before your child starts camp. Your school health form is ideal. We do not keep medical forms from last summer or vacations programs on file.

Members who are paying with a credit card through Pay Pal will be able to fill out and send in their registration via our website.

Medical forms may be attached to the online registration or mailed in separately.

You must give us a copy of a current (within 3 years) medical form for your child to be here this summer.

Members may also drop off or send in their registration and medical forms by mail beginning March 2nd.

If you are planning to become a family member (or are renewing your membership), you may do this online at this time as well.
