There will be no refund of your deposit. We do understand, however, that sometimes plans change, so you will have until March 15th to make any changes to the weeks you have registered for. If you cancel out of weeks but are still registered for another week at the same camp, the deposit that you have already paid will be applied to the remaining weeks of that camp and lower your balance due. If you cancel any weeks after March 15th the deposit will not be applied to the other weeks and you will lose it. Deposits are non-transferable from camp to camp or child to child, so if you cancel out completely from one camp you cannot use that deposit towards another camp. Final balances are due by May 15th. After May 15th, we will only be able to do a refund (minus the $30.00 non-refundable deposit) if we are able to fill the space. Please email the camp manager in charge of the program if you need to cancel.
