Withdrawal policy promotes greater fairness to all
Withdrawals for summer camps are required 30 days prior to the summer camp start date. In addition, payments will only be applied to your credit card 30 days before the start date of each registered camp. These changes mean more children on our waitlist will have a chance to join their camp of choice.
For those who are registering with a payment plan, the credit card must be valid on the scheduled payment date. Otherwise, the client must pay for the activity upfront.
