We understand that plans can change. Here’s the information regarding cancellations and refunds:

1. Non-Refundable Deposit: A deposit of $50 is required at the time of registration and is non-refundable.
2. Cancellation Before June 15: If you cancel your registration before June 15, the $50 deposit will be retained, and all other fees paid will be fully refunded.
3. Cancellation Between June 15 and Two Weeks Before Camp: If you cancel between June 15 and two weeks prior to the start of camp, 50% of the base fee will be retained, and the remaining balance will be refunded.
4. Cancellation Within Two Weeks of Camp: If you cancel within two weeks of the camp start date, 100% of the base fee will be retained. However, any program option fees, store tabs, and t-shirt costs will be refunded. In cases of family emergency or illness*, all fees except the $50 deposit will be refunded. 

*Contagious Illness Protocol: In an effort to keep our campers and staff happy and healthy, Camp Caroline has a contagious illness protocol. The communal living environment of summer camp brings an increased risk for spread of contagious illnesses (e.g. influenza, chicken pox, pink eye, COVID 19, etc.). Staff and campers who have experienced symptoms of contagious illness in the days prior to the start of camp are asked to remain at home until no longer contagious. Campers who reveal symptoms of contagious illness upon arrival at camp or who develop these symptoms while at camp will be isolated from other campers and staff, and parents will be asked to take them home. Camp fees or a pro-rated portion thereof will be refunded in the case of cancellation or early departure due to illness.
