[b]1b. Cancellation Policy for Families Participating in CAP:[/b] The CAP program offers protection against cancellation penalties if Camper is unable to attend camp for ANY reason and Parent cancels in writing prior to the start of camp. Parent will receive a refund or credit of all monies paid based on when cancellation is received. Refunds will be by check. Credits can be used for a future camp session by a family member, but are not transferable to non-family members and are non-refundable.

The $125 CAP fee is applied per session, and is non-refundable. If Camper needs to leave Camp early, the unused portion of the Camp tuition will be retained as a credit by Camp for a future Camp session. CAP is intended to protect the Camp investment should Parent or Camper need to cancel for any personal reason (including personal choice). Participants in CAP do not need a specific reason to receive the benefits of CAP. However, in order to protect the Camp for future generations, the Camp reserves the right to issue credits in lieu of scheduled refunds in the unlikely event of an Act of God, War, Terrorism, Civil Unrest, or any other non-personal situation that, in the Camp's sole judgment, could lead to significant cancellations that would have a negative financial impact on the future of the Camp.
