Refunds less the deposit will be given for cancellations that are made between registration day and 10 business days prior to the start of the camp week you want to cancel.
No refunds will be granted, for any reason, 10 business days prior to the start of the camp you want to cancel. There are no deductions or prorated tuition for partial sessions or absences.

A Change is when a camper’s number of weeks remains the same but their schedule changes.

A Cancellation is when a camper’s number of weeks decreases (i.e. from 7 weeks to 5 weeks of camp)

1.) Changes to camps made starting May 1, 2024 are subject to a $10 administration fee per change, per camper.

2.) Cancellations for any reason will be processed as follows:

• A $50 deposit is required for each week of camp at the time of registration. The deposit is applied to your total camp fees and is non-refundable.

• No refunds will be granted, for any reason, 10 business days prior to the start of the camp you want to cancel. There are no deductions or prorated tuition for partial sessions or absences.
• If a camper drops a camp and adds another at a higher price, payment for the difference will be due at the time of the change requested. If a camper drops a camp and adds another at a lower price, the difference will be applied to the camper’s household account for use at another time.

Financial assistance is available on a limited basis for Summer Day Camp. Existing scholarship families are able to apply early, by January 31, to secure a priority award decision.  All other applicants must apply by the regular deadline of February 16.  Any applications received after this date will be considered LATE and will not be guaranteed consideration for aid.

Those applying for financial assistance will be able to register for camp online on January 28 and will be required to pay the applicable deposit of $50 for each week of camp. The total camp balance will be reduced once a financial award has been received. Alternatively, applicants may choose to wait until they have received their financial award and the deposit due reflects their award.

The procedure for applying for financial assistance is:

You will need to submit financial documents including 2022 tax returns and 2023 W2s.  Also, please provide an explanation of any changes that may have occurred during the year of 2023 that may have impacted your financial situation as well as your projected income for 2024.
• If you are completing your FACTS application prior to registration day, please use the camp website to estimate the costs of your family’s camp needs.
• Enroll your child(ren) into the desired program(s) and pay the required deposits to secure space beginning on Sunday, January 28, 2024.
