Campers are expected to follow all camp rules and behave appropriately as such refunds cannot be given if a camper is asked to leave for infraction of a camp rule or disruptive behavior or if a child is voluntarily withdrawn.

It is important that we know of any physical, mental, or emotional condition that could affect the safety of the applicant, other campers, or staff. I understand that if I fail to disclose such information and my child’s undisclosed physical, mental or emotional condition adversely affects other campers, my child and/or staff, my child may be asked to leave camp and the tuition will not be refunded. Tuition is nonrefundable. If in the event that your schedule changes we are more than happy to move your child to another available week that still has open spots. Unless otherwise stated for the specific summer you are registering for, we have approximately 13 weeks of summer camp with 26 different camp options. By initialling you are stating that you have read our payment policy and understand it. We do our very best to accomodate parents in varies situations and our payment policy is clearly displayed on our website. Unfortunately we can not hold spots at camp for those that do not intend to come. We are bound by capacity rules with the American Camp Assosication and therefor when we hold your spot at camp we are turning away another camper. *Allergy Information: Though we are not a public school we follow safety quidelines for puplic education. Your childs safety and well being is our highest priority while they are enjoying camp actvities therefor If your child's allergy requires the use of an epipen your child must know how to administer this on his/her own. And the following must be provided per Article 3Sec. 14.30.141. Self-administration and documentation of medication.
