FAQ

  • Is Camp Wanderlust a school?
    No, we are not a school. Camp Wanderlust offers instructional support for students who are home schooled, and supplemental academic support to students who attend traditional schools. We do not provide a traditional curriculum. At Camp Wanderlust, the world is our classroom and no two days look the same for us. Some days, we learn in the classroom, some days we learn at a library, some days we learn at the beach, and some days we learn on the road.
  • Does Camp Wanderlust operate on a traditional school schedule?
    Camp Wanderlust does not operate on a traditional school calendar. Our Luxe Learning Lab operates from 9:00 am - 6:30 pm on Monday - Thursday. Our Education division operates from Fall through Spring. Our summers are reserved for traveling and having fun #TheWanderlustWay
  • Is tutoring worth the investment?
    It’s absolutely worth it! The cost of the tutoring corresponds with the quality of education. Our program is personalized based on strengths, challenges and learning style.
  • The Camp Wanderlust Enrollment Process:
    Our customary enrollment process begins at the end of summer where new and existing parents attend our annual fall meet and greet where they have an opportunity to begin the application process. Each year, families must reapply and go through the complete enrollment process. Camp Wanderlust is a members-only organization and we handpick the families who are closely aligned with the mission and vision of our organization.
  • How do I register my child for Camp Wanderlust?
    We welcome new families to register for our educational and entertainment services year-round through our website. Our exploration branch opens during the summer and winter; space is limited, so applications are available on a first-come basis. Stay tuned in by following our instagram page @campwanderlust
  • Attendance Policy
    Camp Wanderlust has an Entertainment Division that makes our program very unique. Whenever a member of our Entertainment Division must attend an industry event, audition, taping or call back, and it is during our operational hours, our learning lab students attend. In cases where additional members are not permitted on set, instructions may be canceled for the day with short notice. When possible, a pre-screened parent volunteer will oversee the education division students while they work on their curriculums as assigned by their homeschool or traditional school.
  • Does Camp Wanderlust accept volunteers?
    Yes, we do! If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please request a volunteer application via email to begin the onboarding process. All of our volunteers are background checked and drug-screened. Upon successful clearance, the volunteers are interviewed by our board and trained if accepted. All of our volunteers are also CPR/AED certified.
  • How will my donation help Camp Wanderlust?
    As many of you know, for the past three summers, Camp Wanderlust has traveled across the nation to locations like Texas, Louisiana, Lake Tahoe, Chicago, NYC, Aspen, Tulsa, and more, in the pursuit of exposing youth to different cultures, nature and history. In 2022, we have plans to visit Big Bear, Lake Tahoe, NYC and take a tour exploring the greatest hidden gems in California. While these trips serve as a vessel to uplift children from underserved communities, they are also extremely costly. Many families are facing financial hardship and are unable to fund trips for their children. We are asking for donations to our Travel Fund so that we may continue to offer scholarships to children of the most deserving families. These donations help alleviate some of the excessive costs of housing, food and other travel expenses.
  • Does Camp Wanderlust offer scholarships?
    Scholarships are offered to families who demonstrate the need and are available on a limited basis, depending on funding availability. Scholarship applications may be requested by email. Scholarship applications are processed, and applicants are interviewed. Final decisions are made by our board members.
  • Does Camp Wanderlust offer refunds?
    We do not offer refunds, instead, we reserve credit on the student's profile. Credit is valid for a period of 180 days, is non-transferable, and may be used towards any calendared activities or for virtual tutoring.
  • Withdraws and Expulsions
    If for any reason a student is withdrawn or expelled from Camp Wanderlust, all monies prepaid are considered forfeited, and no refund will be provided. Credits are only reserved in instances of excuses for medical absences, or other reasons approved on a case-by-case basis.
  • Chargebacks and Disputes
    Disputes and refund requests should be communicated with Camp Wanderlust via email.
  • Immunization Requirements
    All students and volunteers must have all vaccinations currently required by the department of public health. Exception and exemption requests are handled on a case-by-case basis and must be requested via email prior to enrollment. If a parent/guardian auto-enrolls and remits payment, but fails to meet the vaccination requirements, a refund will not be granted, but a credit reserved in accordance with our current policies.
