In order for camp to run smoothly we ask that campers be dropped off between 7:30-8am and picked up between 4:30-5:30. If a camper is going to be late or needs to leave early for some reason, please contact the camp ahead of time to let them know.

Please contact the main office at 903-593-9211 to cancel or add a week of camp.

We ask that you not bring something that is valuable, but if a camper loses something each location will have a lost and found where parents and students can look for their missing item. The camp is not responsible for lost belongings.

We serve the same meals that TISD uses throughout the year at elementary schools.

Each week we have a fun-packed theme days, and we invite campers to go all out!! Check in the Theme Week section or click below to see this summer's amazing Theme Weeks!

The initial enrollment deposit is a one time deposit of 10% of your total balance. This deposit is required to secure your child(ren)’s enrollment for the weeks that you have applied. Your deposit is deducted from your total balance but is not be applied to any particular week. In other words, you pay 10% of your total balance upfront; then you pay per week towards your remaining balance. This deposit is non-refundable.

The initial enrollment deposit only secures your spot in the program and goes towards your total tuition, while the registration fee is an administrative fee that is due at the time that the first week’s payment is due.

Mentoring Alliance Summer Camp is uniquely designed to meet the needs of the families we serve! Our program allows our families to choose the weeks that their child(ren) will attend with no obligation of attending or paying for all 9 weeks. Because of this, the number of children enrolled at your site vary from week to week and therefore requires a week by week process. Advanced payments secure your child’s spot in the program in the event that your site is at full capacity that week.

Listed below are your payment options:

• Set your account to auto-pay from your parent’s dashboard or call the front desk and have them set it up for you. Online, we accept credit/debit cards and EFT from your bank account.
• Make a payment online using a credit/debit card or your checking account information.
• Call the front desk at (903) 593-9211 and a member of our team will process the payment for you.
• Come into our office location at 1909 S. Broadway Ave. Tyler, TX. 75701. You may pay by money order, credit/debit card or checking account.
• Pay at your child’s site with a money order.

We are here to serve you! If you have any questions about your invoice, please feel free to call the Mentoring Alliance’s front desk at (903) 593-9211 and one of the registrars will walk you through what you are paying and why. In the event that your invoices are incorrect, we will take the proper steps to rectify any discrepancies.

We, at Mentoring Alliance, pride ourselves in going above and beyond to retain the campers that we love to serve! Losing a camper is losing a Mentoring Alliance Summer Camp family member! Because of that, parents are notified 3-4 times via email, text, and at the site about past-due accounts and required payment in order to prevent campers from being unenrolled. The processing of un-enrollments and re-enrollments by our registration team requires much time and tedious work and should be avoided.

Check your camper’s account to make sure that you are enrolled in auto-pay and that the card or banking account information that you have on file is accurate and listed as the primary card. If you signed up for auto-pay and your account has not been charged by noon on the day that your payment is due, please call our registrars at (903) 593-9211 and the registrars will take your payment and manually set your account to auto-pay for future payments.

We love all children and wish that we could accommodate every one of them in all of their uniqueness! However, the admittance of children with special needs is on a case by case basis. Our most recent policy is located in the parent’s handbook under admittance. It states that we currently accept children with special needs into our program if we can accommodate their needs and they are fully independent in personal hygiene. Behavioral policies apply. If you have any questions, please give us a call at (903) 593-9211 and we’d be happy to connect you with someone that can properly serve you.

It is our prayer that every child has a great and lasting experience during their tenure in Mentoring Alliance Summer Camp! Our staff is here to serve you and your family! We welcome any questions or concerns and we assure you that they will not go unaddressed. Please give us a call at (903) 593-9211 and we will connect you with your site director to resolve your concerns.

Credit card processing time is 7-10 business days and ACH/e-check has a processing time of 1-3 business days.
