Camp Waiver
A camp waiver will be emailed the week before camp starts. Please download, print, sign, and bring it on the first day of camp. Edits, omissions, and changes are not allowed.
Cancellation and Transfer Policy
You may cancel up to no less than 30 days before our first day of camp (6/8) for a credit card refund, less a $100 cancellation fee. Or you may transfer to a different week for a $25 fee.
Staff members are hired based on enrollment, so changes made closer than 30 days before the start of camp season negatively impact staffing. Therefore, if you cancel within the month before our camp season starts (6/8), there are NO REFUNDS. You may only transfer to a different week.
