Participants must be in good mental, emotional and social health and be able to function in a group setting in a positive and cooperative manner that displays tolerance and respect for themselves and others.

We ask that campers can independently function in a 10:1 camper/counselor environment, as well as areas with lots of noise when all campers are together. Our staff is trained to create a safe, fun camp environment, but our staff is not trained to manage individual education plans or specialized needs that requires more attention to the point of not being able to give equal attention to the rest of a group.

We do our best to partner with parents to work together to determine if Kidcam will be a positive experience and suitable for your child prior to enrolling their child.

We ask any parent who has questions on whether or not Kidcam is the right summer camp for their child to attend a Director Information Session and speak to the camp director regarding the needs of the camper.

Campers with multiple Level 1-4 incident reports, written warnings and/or suspensions, will be asked to not return to camp at the request of the Camp Director. See Incident Levels below for definition.

There is a one-time, non-refundable registration fee of $60 for camp. Siblings may register for $45.

Enrollment for a week closes once a camp reaches capacity. It is recommended to purchase all weeks needed as soon as possible. Weekly enrollment may close prior to 3 PM the Thursday prior to a camp week, based on the location’s capacity.

Tuition costs may increase $10 per week if purchased after 3pm on the Thursday prior to a week.

A camper’s place at camp is not secured until tuition for the week attending is paid in full. Registration fee no longer guarantees a spot. Any camp reserves the right to close enrollment based on capacity before 3:00 PM on the Thursday prior to each camp week.

Campers may not be dropped off at camp without being enrolled for that week. Any camper not enrolled for a week will not be allowed to stay.

Registration fees are non-refundable.

A $10 administrative fee will be processed for any tuition refunds.

Refund requests must be made no later than four (4) weeks prior to the week a camper is enrolled to start. After this date, we are unable to provide refunds as the space has been allocated to that camper and waitlist options are closed.

Not attending the program for any reason does not entitle a refund. When registering a camper, it reserves space, time, and staffing whether or not your child attends the program. 

Refund request will only be accepted by submitting your request via email to accounting@kidcamcamps.com.

Exceptions to Refunds

If a child is dismissed from camp due camp related injury, or at the request of a director for behavior or other incidents, a refund on future weeks purchased will be given (the current week will not be pro-rated).

If a camp must close for two or more days due to weather or sickness outbreak, the refund process will be determined at that time.

Loss of fees due to illness or injury will be refunded at 50% of missed days when a doctor’s note is provided. 'Missed Days' are for days that fall after we are notified of the circumstance. Refunds are not given for days that are missed without notification.

The loss of fees will be shared equally by the parents and camp. No refund will be issued without a doctor’s note.

Transfer requests will be accepted if the request is made no less than 10 days leading up to the week of the transfer, and there is available space remaining in the week requested.

If space in a week is not available, and the request is made less than 4 weeks prior to a camper’s start date, Kidcam may transfer funds to a PrePaid account for future use towards tuition, aftercare or food. Any unused funds are non-refundable and will rollover to future camp terms.

A $10 administrative fee per camper, per week will be added to all transfer requests that can be accommodated. 

Transfer requests will only be accepted by submitting your request via email to accounting@kidcamcamps.com.
