Summer Session Handbook & Course Catalog: The 2022 Summer Session Welcome Guide and Handbook and 2022 Summer Session Course Catalog are linked here to serve as a reference for you. These documents will also be available for download directly from your Forms Dashboard. The 2023 editions of these publications will be available later this spring.

Health and Safety Protocols
In order to promote a healthy school community, prior to arrival, all students must submit proof they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 with an WHO/FDA approved vaccine, unless an approved medical or religious exemption applies. Students must have received a booster shot within a year of attending the program. For Summer 2023, this means between July 1, 2022-June 30, 2023. In countries where booster shots are not available, the applicant must indicate the date of their last vaccination shot. In the event that the student requests an exemption, the School will discuss whether reasonable accommodations that do not impose an undue hardship on the School may be made. While the pandemic or a regional or local outbreak is in effect, and regardless of the student's vaccine status, the student is required to adhere to the School's rules and protocols addressing health and safety, including obligations to wear a mask, maintain a social distance from others, practice appropriate hygiene, and any other rules adopted by the School. In the event that the student tests positive, the student will be required to follow whatever protocols are required by law and School policy related to curbing the spread of any communicable illness.
2023 Travel and Transportation
Cardigan can help arrange ground transportation for students to and from JFK Airport in New York City and Logan Airport in Boston.
Families should schedule flight arrivals and departures between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. (EDT) in order for their student to take the Cardigan Bus. There is a one-way fee for the Cardigan Bus: Logan Airport in Boston ($110) and JFK Airport in New York City ($220). These charges will be applied separately to the student's account. Private car service is also available.
Arrivals
All students should plan to arrive at Cardigan on July 1, 2023. There are three ways for your child to arrive on campus:
- Parent/Guardian transport direct to campus
- Cardigan-Chaperoned Ground Transportation (the "Cardigan Bus"): Cardigan can arrange transportation from Boston-Logan International Airport and New York-JFK International Airport for students arriving between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. EDT. *More information about this option will be available in Spring 2023.
- Private Car Service (not chaperoned by Cardigan): For students arriving at the airport outside the 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. flight window, Cardigan can help arrange a private car.
*If possible, we highly recommend that your child flies into Boston-Logan because it is closer to camps than New York-JFK.*
Departures
Students must depart campus by 12 p.m. on Saturday, July 29. There are three ways for your child to depart campus:
- Parent/Guardian direct pickup at campus
- Cardigan-Chaperoned Ground Transportation (the "Cardigan Bus"): Cardigan can arrange transportation to Boston-Logan International Airport and New York-JFK International Airport for students departing within a specified time window. *More information about this option will be available in Spring 2023.
