SUMMER CAMP DEPOSITS AND REFUND POLICIES
Deposits are not refundable or transferable. (e.g. If you register for 3 sessions and attend only 1, the payment due will be 1 week of camp plus 2 deposits. * see note below)
Full payment is due by May 31, or in full if registering after that date. Skyline reserves the right to un-enroll any campers who have not completed payment by this date.
Cancellations within 30 days of the camp session’s start date will result in the forfeiture of all payments.
Cancellations more than 30 days before the camp session begins will be refunded all but the $75 per session (overnight) or $40 per session (day camp) deposit.
Campers leaving early due to illness/extenuating circumstances will be refunded proportionately, at Skyline’s discretion.
Campers leaving early due to behavior are subject to forfeiting the full fee.
If you have agency assistance in paying for camp, you must have that information (Agency, worker, contact details, amount being covered) ready before registering. We will not hold a place for your camper unless we are certain of covering the cost. We reserve the right to un-register campers if the necessary paperwork is not made available at least a month before camp
* We have seen a developing pattern of families “placeholding” by signing up for more weeks than they intend to attend, then having those deposits transfer towards the cost of the attended session. This is no longer allowable, as it costs resources to try to fill the camp space, and/or costs other children the opportunity for camp.
