2019 Lafayette Tennis Summer Camp Early Bird Registration Discount & Federal Government Shutdown Special
|
Dear Tennis Camp Parents, Grandparents, Caregivers,
|
If you missed the Lafayette Elementary School Camp Fair this past Thursday then you didn’t find out about the Early Bird Registration Discount of 10% for all camp registration and extras. This is good until midnight, February 14, 2019 – Valentine’s Day - because you will love your significant other more when you know the kids are happy with their summer camp plans. This is in addition to the 10% sibling discounts you can take for each weekly camp session.
|
Go to our online registration system for both the summer camp and our indoor winter tennis at the Chevy Chase Community Center.
|
If your family income is affected by the government shutdown I know that shelling out thousands of dollars for camp registrations is a low priority in your cash flow plans. With our new registration system you can choose the Scholarship option in the payment window to lock-in your registration without paying for the reserved camp sessions. We can work on payment when the government reopens and your checks are flowing again. It is the least we can do to help out.
|
Let me know if you have any other questions.
