Note: Our policies have changed. Take a moment to review our changes including camp billing, recreation credit and refund/transfer and cancellation policies. Read the next article to find out more about how our new camp billing works.
NEW Camp Installment Billing Change
This year, you have two options to pay for camp. You can either pay in full at the time of registration OR pay a $15 nonrefundable deposit. If you choose to pay the deposit, you will be automatically charged three weeks before the beginning of camp. Plus, if you want to make small increment payments before the deadline, just give us a call and we would be happy to assist you.
