Cancellation, Insurance, and Free Before-Camp and After-Camp Care

Refunds (minus the cancellation fee) will be available within 30 days of the date of cancellation.

In the event that a camp must be cancelled due to insufficient enrollment or other unforeseen circumstances, the complete registration fee will be promptly refunded. There will be no prorated registration fees or refunds for camp days missed.
