2026 Summer Camp Billing and Enrollment Policies:

NON-REFUNDABLE PAYMENT: The full and final balance will be required on the date of registration. Once tuition is collected it is non-refundable. Campers can be moved to an alternative week or eligible for account credit for future classes and camps.
TUITION BALANCE BILLING: Once camp tuition is collected, it is non-refundable or eligible for credits*
CREDITS: One exception will grant partial credit for camp tuition. A child who is sick or injured* with a doctor’s note and is excused from camp BEFORE it begins will receive a 50% tuition credit on their account for a future camp. This credit is only valid for future camps within the next 12 months and cannot apply toward other fees such as class tuition, membership fees, etc. A child must be dropped/excused from the camp prior to the first day and will then be dropped and credited. Injuries with a doctor’s note that occur during the week will receive a credit for the remainder of the week once a child is dropped. Sick calls during the week are not eligible for a credit.
CAMP TRANSFER: Space permitting, students can transfer camp enrollment to a different week during the Summer of 2026. A transfer must be requested at least three weeks before starting the current enrollment week.
LATE PICK-UP: Children are expected to be picked up by the end of the camp day (4:00pm). If they are picked up late, family accounts will be assessed a late pickup charge of $5 plus $1 per minute for each minute after 4:00 p.m.
