Summer Camp Policies

1. REGISTRATION

    For online purchases made prior to May 1, 2013, clients must pay 50% or more of the program price. The remainder will be charged automatically on May 2, 2013. By enrolling in a program, it is understood that all policies here and on our website have been read and agreed to.

2. PAPERWORK

    Pre-camp paperwork is mandatory for your child to attend camp. Campers will not be allowed to attend camp until all necessary paperwork has been completed in our online system. Camp days missed for this reason are non-refundable.

3. CANCELLATIONS & REFUNDS - DAY & OVERNIGHT CAMPS

    Due to high demand, cancellations of Day Camps and Overnight Camps prior to May 1st will result in a $100 cancellation fee, with the remainder refunded to you. Cancellations made after May 1, 2013 receive no refund. Cancellations made after May 1st due to short term illness/injury must be rescheduled for the same summer at the Camp Transfer fee of $35. Cancellations made after May 1st due to long term illness/injury must be accompanied by a doctor's note for a $100 cancellation fee with the remainder refunded.

4. CANCELLATIONS & REFUNDS - TEEN EXPEDITIONS

    Expedition deposits of 50% are non-refundable. For registrations made after May 1, 2013, payment is due in full. Applications received after May 1, 2013 should include payment in full and are not eligible for a refund.

5. CAMP SESSION TRANSFERS

    A Camp Transfer fee of $35 will be assessed for each camp session change. No Camp Transfers are allowed within two weeks from the start date of your camp session. Expedition registrants can only transfer into other Expedition camp sessions or tuitions are forfeited.

    On or before May 1, 2013, those transferring to a similar value camp program (Day Camp to Day Camp or an Overnight Camp to Overnight Camp) will have a $35 Camp Transfer fee assessed.

    Those transferring to a lesser valued camp program (Overnight Camp to Day Camp) will have a $100 Camp Transfer fee assessed.

6. TUITION REBATES

    We do not issue tuition rebates for weather conditions, late arrival, early withdrawal, short term illness/injury, accident, or dismissal during any of our camps or expeditions. Transportation costs accrued due to early withdrawal/ dismissal will be assumed by the parent(s).

7. BEHAVIOR REGULATIONS

    Campers are expected to adhere to all safety instructions at all times. Refusal to follow safety instructions may result in immediate dismissal. Disruptive behavior, physical aggression, violence of any sort, inappropriate language, the use of alcohol, drugs, or tobacco products, or disrespect towards others and/or their property will not be tolerated and may result in immediate dismissal from the program. Transportation costs due to early withdrawal/dismissal and/or equipment damage due to misbehavior will be assumed by the parent(s).

8. ITINERARIES

    Our camps run rain or shine and Adventure Links follows the program itineraries as closely as possible. We do halt an activity and move to the most protected area in the event of lightning, severe rain, or high winds. Occasionally, unpredictable weather conditions, permit status, group dynamics or other circumstances necessitate itinerary modifications. Adventure Links reserves the right to alter sites or activities when necessary and provide appropriate substitute activities or locations.

9. PROGRAM CANCELLATION OR EARLY TERMINATION

    Adventure Links reserves the right to cancel a program. In the very unlikely event that this would occur, Adventure Links will refund tuition paid or a free camp transfer will be available.

10. PICK-UP/DROP-OFF LOGISTICS

    In the morning, the staff is instructed to wait 15 minutes past the pickup time to accommodate slightly late arrivals. In the afternoon, we stay with all children until each parent or guardian arrives. Parents are expected to drop off and pick up their children in a timely manner, with proper identification. An additional fee of $50 will be assessed for parents more than 30 minutes late to an afternoon pick up.

11. PROMOTIONAL RELEASE

    Upon enrolling in an Adventure Links program, the parent/guardian and applicant authorizes Adventure Links to the use of photos, quotes or video footage from camp programs for the purpose of marketing.

12. INSURANCE

    The parent/guardian is responsible for any medical expenses or transportation costs related to a camper's illness, accident or departure from the program. In addition, Adventure Links is not responsible for theft, loss or damage to personal property.

13. SUBCONTRACTORS

    For some programs, Adventure Links employs the services of reputable and professional companies for specific activities. Often such subcontractors require additional waivers/paperwork from our participants.

14. CONTAGIOUS DISEASE

    Adventure Links will take reasonable precautions to prevent and contain the spread of disease. It is the responsibility of the parent to inform Adventure Links of any contagious disease your child may be experiencing and take appropriate measures to treat your child for the condition. Please refrain from sending your child to camp with a contagious or infectious disease. Contact the Adventure Links office as soon as you are aware that your child will not be attending camp.

15. POPULATION

    Adventure Links primarily serves children who have independent skills in all areas, can follow directions in a large group and work well with their peers. If your child has special needs or requires support to follow directions and maintain appropriate behavior and attention please call the office to see if Adventure Links is right for your child.
