Payment & Cancellation Policies
There will now be a two step billing process.
1) Once your registration has been received and processed it will take up to 5 business days to create an invoice. The first invoice you will receive is for the Non-Refundable deposit of $50. This deposit will need to be paid within 5 business days. If the non-refundable deposit is not paid, you will be removed from camp and you will have to re-register if you are still interested in coming to camp. Once the non-refundable deposit is paid, a second invoice will be sent. This non-refundable deposit is NOT an additional cost to you, it is included in the fees listed for each camp’s cost.
2) The second invoice you will receive is the remaining balance due. This invoice will be the amount of $300 for Memorial Day & Labor Day camps and $410 for Family Adventure Camp. This invoice can be paid in as few or little payments as you like, as long as the balance is paid in full two weeks prior to your camp start date.
Payments cannot be processed until invoices have been made. Please be patient as we process each registration manually. Payments may be made over the phone, via check, or through our online payment system. In order to secure your spot for camp, you have 5 working days to pay the $50 non-refundable deposit from the invoice date. If a deposit is not made, you will be removed from the camp and you will need to re-register.
Payments must be made in full two weeks prior to the beginning of camp. If you need to set up a payment plan, please contact our office.
