Application Deadlines & Late Fees
The date for preferential enrollment is May 25, which does not guarantee a spot, but we will make our best efforts to accommodate students who apply by this date. All applicants will be admitted as space permits, even applications in June or later. Applications received after June 10 will incur a late fee of $50 per week of camp. Express mail is recommended for applications submitted after June 10. Late fees also apply to final enrollment papers and final payments which are received late. The final payment schedule will be detailed in the enrollment materials you receive after application.

To Guarantee Acceptance to the SNFI
Applicants who apply by May 1st and pay in full are guaranteed admission on a rolling basis unless and until the program is entirely full. Applications received after May 1 may not eligible for our early enrollment pricing. Paying in full before May 1st guarantees acceptance to the SNFI, but does not guarantee admission to special programs with competitive admissions. Competitive admissions programs currently include the 4 Week Policy Program and Sophomore Scholars Policy Program.
