What are the daily session times?
Each day includes a morning session (9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.) and an afternoon session (1:00–4:00 p.m.). Some programs run full-day (9:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.).
If your child attends both sessions, there’s no need for midday pick-up—we provide lunch and a supervised recess from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m.
Who teaches Hackley Summer Programs?
Courses are led by professional educators, many of whom are Hackley faculty. Student assistants support larger or outdoor programs under direct faculty supervision, and select outside vendors, carefully vetted and often partners in Hackley’s after-school programs, help expand our offerings.
Is lunch and/or snack provided?
Yes. Lunch and a daily snack are included for all participants during June sessions (weeks of 6/8, 6/15, 6/22), whether attending morning, afternoon, or full-day programs.
Is extended day care available?
Yes. Early drop-off begins at 8:00 a.m. and late pick-up runs until 5:30 p.m. Both options are available for an additional fee.
Is a nurse on site?
Yes. A registered nurse is on campus each day during June to support camper health needs. EpiPens and medications may be checked in with the nurse at morning drop-off.
Can I pick up my child early / drop my child off late?
Of course! Please email egoldstein@hackleyschool.org with your child’s name, date, and pick-up/drop-off time.
We’ll ensure your child is ready at the check-in/out area when you arrive.
Is there transportation provided?
Transportation is not currently available. Families arrange their own drop-off and pick-up on campus.
Do you have a summer boarding program?
No, we do not currently offer a boarding option for summer programs.
What is your refund policy?
Payments are non-refundable, except in the case of medical incapacity prior to the start of a session (with documentation from a licensed physician). If Hackley cancels a program, families will receive a full refund or credit. Hackley reserves the right to deny other refund requests.
