Innovation Grove Summer Academy — Terms of Service

Effective Date: March 2, 2026

1. Program Overview

Innovation Grove Summer Academy ("the Program") is a STEM-focused summer learning experience for middle school students (primarily grades 6–8), operated as a partnership between ID8 and F8 Studio LLC, hosted at Next Generation School (NGS). The Program takes place in June 2026 at Next Generation School, 2521 Galen Dr, Champaign, IL 61821.

2. Eligibility

The Program is designed for students currently in 6th, 7th, or 8th grade. Students outside this range may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Registration must be completed by a parent or legal guardian.

3. Registration & Payment

Registration requires a one-time $30 deposit. This deposit secures your child's spot in the selected session(s). The remaining program tuition will be invoiced separately and must be paid in full before the start of the selected session. Each session is limited to a maximum of 25 students.

4. Cancellation & Refunds

Please review our Refund Policy below for details on the $30 deposit refund eligibility.

5. Participant Conduct

Students are expected to treat fellow participants, staff, and property with respect. Innovation Grove reserves the right to dismiss any participant whose behavior poses a safety risk or disrupts the learning environment. No refund will be issued for dismissals due to conduct violations.

6. Health & Safety

Parents/guardians are responsible for disclosing any medical conditions, allergies, dietary needs, or other health-related information during registration. Innovation Grove staff will make reasonable accommodations as indicated. In the event of a medical emergency, staff will contact emergency services and the parent/guardian on file.

7. Media Release

By registering, you grant Innovation Grove permission to photograph and/or video record your child during program activities. These materials may be used for promotional purposes, social media, and the Innovation Grove website. If you do not consent to media use, please indicate this in the accommodations field or email us at innovgrove@gmail.com.

8. Liability

While Innovation Grove takes all reasonable steps to ensure participant safety, the Program is not responsible for loss, theft, or damage to personal property. Parents/guardians assume the risk of their child's participation in hands-on STEM activities. A separate liability waiver may be required before the program start date.
