Summer Interest Groups

Home Groups break for the summer and in their place we offer Summer Interest Groups (SIGs) — a wide variety of groups that meet during the summer and create community around shared interests. SIGs offer a great way to reach out to the community and make new friends.

Join us after each service for the SIG Expo to discover more about the groups being offered this summer and to sign up for the ones you’re interested in. Coffee, juice and pastries will be available at 10:15AM, and a pulled pork sandwich/hotdog lunch, chips, and drinks will be provided at 12PM. Invite your friends!

REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS (please read carefully)
Please register each child that you will need childcare for separately using their name and required information. When you click on register and enter your email address, uncheck your name on the next screen and check 'Someone Else' and follow the directions to register your children. Parents do not need to register themselves - only the children they will be putting into childcare.

PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS (please read carefully)
Please select the corresponding ADD-ON to pay for the day that you need childcare. For example, if you need childcare for a summer interest group that meets Tuesday mornings and offers childcare, select the 'Tuesday AM (Select Once for All Children)' add-on. If you enroll in two or more groups that offer childcare that meet on different days of the week, you must select the childcare add-on for each day you need it.

***One Add-On covers all of your children for that session - you don't need to select an add-on for each child - just the first child you register. ***

GENERAL CHILDCARE INFORMATION
To make Summer Interest Groups available for families, PCC is able to offer childcare on pre-selected dates for children 3 months - 11 years. (Check group information for availability and note that some groups meet more often than childcare is available.)

Prior to the start of your first meeting, please register your child(ren) so we can have the appropriate number of workers. There is a flat fee of $60/family for childcare regardless of the number of kids you register. This covers all the childcare for that weekly time slot (coming soon). (If you sign-up for groups that meet on different days of the week, please register and pay for each day separately). Payment can be completed online or using a green envelope.

Visitor Policy: Visitors are always welcome to join groups at any time during the summer. Please contact the Childcare Coordinator (childcare@pccyorktown.com), if you plan on trying a SIG and would like to utilize childcare for that event. After the first visit, please register and pay for childcare for the particular day the SIG meets.

The parent or guardian bringing the child(ren) must be attending a Summer Interest Group while the child is in care. Parents and children must abide by all of the Children’s Ministry policies for wellness and behavior.

If you have any questions about childcare, please contact PCC's Childcare Coordinator (childcare@pccyorktown.com).

Offsite Childcare Policy
Summer Interest Groups may provide off-site babysitting arranged by the host, and families using the babysitting services will be asked to contribute to the cost. Off-site childcare is not arranged by PCC and therefore not subject to PCC's childcare policy.

We understand that the expense of childcare can be a deterrent to joining and participating in a group. Because we are committed to reducing the obstacles facing people attempting to get into community, the church reimburses its groups at a predetermined rate for their childcare expenses.

1. Childcare reimbursements are for the group meetings only (doesn’t include parties, social events, or outreach).
2. Please complete one form per group meeting. 
3. Each form must be submitted within thirty (30) days following the group meeting. 
4. Summer Interest Group Leaders or Hosts are reimbursed at a set rate for the total cost of babysitting (see below for rates) - 2 hour maximum per event. 
5. Weekly submissions will be collected and totaled each month. Reimbursement checks are issued and mailed at the end of each month.

Peninsula Community Chapel now offers childcare reimbursements via our online form.
