Cancellation Policy
A full refund of your deposit can be given if you cancel at least 3 weeks ahead of time. In case of last-minute, unforeseen emergencies, the deposit money can be converted for use on later camps or for tutoring hours within a year. Cancellations less than one week prior (for non-emergency reasons) result in a forfeiture of deposit because it will be too late to change the staffing and supplies that will have already been arranged, which is of particular concern in our very low student-to-teacher-ratio camps.
