    Can we switch sessions once we are registered?

    Switching sessions is never a problem, providing there is still room in the session to which you want to move. Contact our office at wendy@holidayrecreation.com.

    Can we add sessions after we have registered?

    Yes, but the camp fee for added sessions would be based on the date when you add the session. In other words, if you take advantage of our early enrollment prices for your initial registration, and then add a session after March 31, you would pay the full camp fee for the added session and not receive the earlybird discount.

    Can I split a 2 week-session?

    You can if you need to, but it’s not ideal for the camper or the camp. Our sessions are designed to run for two weeks. Swimming lessons are planned for ten day cycles. Canoeing only happens once each session. And our Ropes Course program takes two weeks to accomplish. The reason we allow one week sessions is so that families who count on our services for the entire summer can leave to go on vacation, or spend a week at an overnight camp, and then return to us for the rest of the session. It may be difficult for some campers to join an already formed group half way through a session, or to leave a group a week early. It’s difficult for us to accommodate split sessions with regards to transportation and group assignments. It’s also a financial burden for the camp as a one week camper takes up a spot in a group which is often left unfilled in the other week of the session. We may be turning away full session campers to accommodate one week campers.

    If I have an out-of town relative visiting for just one week, can I sign him/her up for just that week?

    Yes (please see above).  As in most "split session" situations, it may not be ideal for the camper.  Let us know the details and we will do our best to make it work for the visiting child.

    What if it’s our first time at camp and we’re not sure if our child will want to go more than one session?

    If you think you might want to sign up for multiple sessions, our advice is to sign up for any sessions you think you might want at the early discount prices. We will refund your money for additional sessions if you change your mind, providing you give us two weeks advance notice (or in the case of a new camper, one week notice).

    Do you offer discounts for siblings?

    No. We offer discounts for every camper through our earlybird enrollment plan.

    How does the early enrollment plan work?

    We have 2 deadlines for early enrollment. To receive the greatest savings, you may pay each session in full before 1/31/05. The next best option is to give us a 1/3 deposit for each session you wish to attend by 1/31/05. There is another price break if campers sign up and pay in full, or give a 1/3 deposit by 3/31/05.

    What is your cancellation policy?

    Fifty dollars of each camper’s total fee is non-refundable. An additional fifty dollar assessment will be made for cancellations with less than four weeks (28 days) notice. 

     

    In cases of illness or injury beyond the camp's control, a refund will be made for all days in excess of three consecutive days of absence.

    Can a 9th grader who wants to come to camp but is not interested in, or somehow cannot participate in the NEST program, still attend?

    If a 9th grader still has the same interests and maturity level as those campers entering the 8th grade, and he/she wants to attend camp in a group made up of mostly 8th graders, but includes some 7th graders, we would welcome the 9th grader in the 8th grade group. We would want to discuss this issue on an individual basis with parents to be sure that it is the right choice for your child.
