Summer Day Camp Mandatory Automatic Billing

Summer Day Camp Cancellations Made Before Automatic Billing
Cancellations must be made in writing by the end of the workday, on Thursday, one full week prior to the start of the week you wish to cancel (10 days out). If you do not submit your cancellation request by this time, your card on file will be charged for the remaining camp week tuition and you will not be eligible for a refund in any amount.

If you have already paid in full for a camp week and cancel by the end of the workday on Thursday one full week before your session starts (10 days out), you will receive a refund for your money paid, less your $100 deposit.

Deposits paid toward canceled weeks of camp cannot be applied to an existing week of camp or any previously registered week of camp, regardless of current status.

Summer Day Camp Cancellations Made After Automatic Billing
Cancellations must be made in writing by the end of the workday one full week before the start of the week you wish to cancel (10 days out). If you do not submit your cancellation request by this time, you will not be eligible for a refund in any amount.

Transfers Made Before Automatic Billing
Deposits can be transferred to any new camp week(s) of your choosing. Subject to availability, your deposit for one week of camp can be transferred to an additional (new) week of camp. Transfer requests must be made at least 10 days before the beginning of a session.

Late Registration Administrative Fee
Any day camp registrations added after online registration closes will incur a $15 administrative fee. Online registration closes at midnight on Thursday before each camp week starts.

Cancellation for All Camp Programs
Self-cancellations are now live and available for all Summer Camp 2024 Sessions. If you would like to cancel any sessions, please log into your Active account and on the home page scroll down to the last registered session and click on the button titled Self – Cancellation. 

Please Note: The Self Cancellation portal will follow Kidventure’s tiered cancellation policy with the corresponding dates. If you have any questions please call your city’s office.

Waitlist Policy

We have automated our waitlist procedures. If a session is full, you will be placed on a waitlist at no cost. Once a spot is open for a program, an auto-email will be sent to your online account email address indicating that a spot has opened up. This email will indicate what participant the open spot is available for as well as dates, times, and names of the program. At that point, you will have 24 hours to accept your spot through the email that you received. If you choose not to claim the spot once you receive an email, you can elect to remove yourself from the waitlist at that time, and the next family on the list will be offered the open spot. If you do not accept the invitation in the given period, the next family on the list will be offered the open spot at that time. If time expires or you remove your camper from the waitlist, and you wish to be back on the waitlist again – you will need to sign up for the waitlist again and this will place you at the bottom of the list in the order you signed up

Overnight Camps

There is a non-refundable registration fee of $35 plus a non-refundable deposit of $100, both of which are due at the time of registration. Payment of the remaining balance is due by May 1, 2025. Automatic billing will be processed on May 1, 2025, for any remaining camp tuition. After May 1st, no money paid toward tuition is refundable.
