SYAP Registration Button

IF THE SYAP SESSION YOU ARE INTERESTED IN IS SOLD OUT, YOU HAVE THE OPTION TO JOIN THE WAITLIST. YOU WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY PLACED ON THE WAITLIST WHEN YOU FINISH THE REGISTRATION PROCESS.

The aim of the Rice University Summer Youth Activity Program is to introduce children (aged 6 to 11) to a variety of sport and recreational activities in a friendly, non-competitive environment. Our staff of instructors and counselors consists of students from Rice and other area universities, as well as professionals trained in education and recreation. It is our goal to provide each participant with age appropriate instruction and an exciting and memorable experience. Participants will spend their summer having fun, meeting new friends and being physically active. A summer with SYAP will leave your child with a sense of physical, social, and emotional accomplishment and memories that will last a lifetime.

Refund Procedures

All refund requests must be submitted in writing (e-mail). Refunds may be available for an extended illness of five or more consecutive program days. A doctor's note and explanation of the situation must be received within eight working days from the first absence. Upon review, participants may receive a $25/day refund for the unused days.

Refunds are NOT available for vacations, special events, short-term illnesses of four days or fewer, or other personal commitments that prevent attendance.

We reserve the right to revoke the registration of any child who consistently disrupts normal activities. While this is a rare occurrence, it is important to note that consistent disruptions diminish the experience of the other participants. No refund will be made if a child is dismissed from the program.

Refunds will NOT INCLUDE initial deposit fees.

Transfers

We understand that sometime schedules change, and that your child may not be able to attend camp during the session in which he/she is enrolled. We do allow registration transfers to occur, but with some caveats. Registration is not transferable to anyone outside your immediate family, and split sessions are not available. Decisions related to transfer requests will be based on space availability, and are made at the discretion of the Recreation Center Staff. These requests must be done in person at the Recreation Center Administrative Office at least three working days prior to the start of the session. Due to administrative costs, a $40 fee will be charged each transfer request made.

Please Note

Any attempt to place your child in an age group that does not match his or her age will result in an added charge of $40 to your account, and will result in the cancellation of your registration.
