A non-refundable/non-transferable deposit of $100 per session for Overnight Camp; OR a $50 per session for Day Camp and LIT; $200 for CIT1 or CIT2 + any “extra” fees are required with each application to secure a reservation. This deposit is applied to the total camp fee. The remainder of your fee is due 14 days prior to your camper’s scheduled session (see parent handbook located on the Day Camp or Overnight Camp page on the Camp Carter website). Mandatory information and release forms are required for admittance to camp. These forms are available through your family portal and must be completed for each camper. You may also call our office and request a packet to be mailed or emailed to you. We require a new set of forms EACH year. Your camper must have a physical within the last 12 months to be able to attend Overnight Camp. You may use the last page of our Health History Form or obtain a form from your physician’s office.
All returned checks are subject to a $30 service charge. Payment and deposit may be made by cash, personal check, MasterCard, VISA, or American Express. No personal checks will be accepted for payment later than 14 days prior to start of session. Applicants who cannot be accepted due to a full session are notified and advised to select another session or join a waiting list. Cancellations do occur and waiting list campers are advanced in order of receipt.
ALL CHANGES MUST BE MADE IN WRITING A $15 service charge is due for each session change. YMCA Camp Carter’s policy for cancellation or “no show” of a camp session is: 1) Cancellations must be made in writing up to 5 business days prior to session start date; 2) The $50 per session for Day Camp or the $100/$200 deposit for Overnight Camp is forfeited for all cancellations prior to 5 business days prior to session start date; 3) Cancellations after 5 business days prior or “no shows” will forfeit the entire cost for the session.
Admission as a Camp Carter camper carries many privileges and responsibilities. We expect campers to participate in the total life of camp—to work, play, worship and live together. Application signifies understanding and acceptance of these responsibilities. In addition, should a behavior problem, discipline issue or homesickness affect our work with other campers, or their enjoyment of Camp Carter, we reserve the right to dismiss, without refund, those campers responsible.
