*NEW: IMPORTANT CANCELLATION/REFUND INFORMATION:
Registration closes on Fridays 2 weeks before the start of each camp week. Due to the large number of children on our Waiting list, we will be using this new refund policy:
Cancellations properly submitted before the registration close date of your child’s scheduled week will receive a full refund. This time allows adequate opportunity to get another camper enrolled.
Cancellations made after registration close for your child’s scheduled week will be charged a 25% cancellation fee. At this time your camper has already been placed into an age appropriate group, we have staffed accordingly, and any changes affect the entire camp.
Cancellations made within 7 calendar days of the start of your child’s scheduled week will be charged a 50% cancellation fee. One week before camp starts, field trip tickets have been paid for and it is often too short notice to get someone enrolled from the Waiting list.
