CANCELLATION POLICY

Full refunds will be granted for cancellations requested two weeks in advance. Refunds will also be granted for campers with positive COVID-19 tests or confirmed direct exposure to a positive COVID-19 case.

CAMPER MEDICATION POLICY

Campers must be able to administer their own medication, and we are unable to store medication overnight. If the camper can administer the medication themselves, our Durham staff is able to supervise. If an adult needs to administer the medication, we can arrange for the camper to be available at a specific time for a parent or guardian to administer the medication to the camper.
