WELCOME!
Dear Families,
Welcome to the 2017 Summer Programs at Harpeth Hall School. For over 14 years, Harpeth Hall has offered the
best summer opportunities for girls in Middle Tennessee. This year is no exception. Whether it is serving a tennis
ball or serving others, catching bugs or catching basketballs, stringing a violin or stringing gemstones, there is
so much to try this summer at Harpeth Hall. Leading the state in the areas of Academics, Arts, and Athletics, the
Summer Programs at Harpeth Hall offer the same excellence in teaching, leadership, and coaching that is found
throughout the school year. Echoing the school’s mission, this summer we will teach your girl to think critically,
to lead confidently, and to live honorably. And have fun, too.
I welcome you to look through the brochure with your daughter and discover for yourself why I say …
Harpeth Hall has it all!
Sincerely,
Kelsy Mugele

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
How do I sign up?
Campers should complete the registration form online
and make their payment by credit card only. Online
registration is preferred for all camps. To register, go to
www. harpethhall.org and click on Summer Programs.
Register each camper separately.
It’s a good idea to always have a water bottle and
sunscreen if the camp is outdoors. If a camper does not
have the proper equipment, it will be provided. Wear
comfortable clothing and appropriate shoes.
If a camper is registered for a full-day camp or has
chosen the option to “make a day,” a healthy lunch with
several options will be available to her in the Dining
Hall. Campers may opt to bring their own lunch or
snacks, but the fees will not be reduced.
What if my daughter doesn’t know anyone
in her camp session or camp grouping?
An overwhelming majority of girls do not know
anyone in their group on the first day of camp.
This is why Harpeth Hall Summer Programs goes
above and beyond to make girls feel comfortable
on campus while in camp. Remember, teaching girls
is all we do. Both faculty leaders and high school
counselors encourage girls to make new friends while
participating in camp.
