Fees, Changes, Cancellations, Refunds and Deadline Policy

All camps have a minimum enrollment required to operate. Please note that after the May 1 deadline, we've committed funds to our faculty and staff and purchased materials for the camps. As a result, we must follow the policies outlined below. All requests for cancellation, changes, or refunds MUST be submitted in writing.

FEES:
There are no pro-rated fees for campers who arrive after the start of the week/session, leave before its completion, or are absent.

CHANGES:
Change requests will be honored if space is available. Any difference in course fees will be due upon confirmation of the change.

CANCELLATION:
May 1 is the cancellation deadline. There are no refunds for cancellations made after May 1.

REFUNDS:

• A 10% penalty will be charged for any changes or cancellations made before May 1, and 90% of the course fees will be refunded.
• A child removed due to disciplinary reasons will not be eligible for a refund.
• A child enrolled in camps that require independent toileting must meet this requirement to participate. Those who do not meet the independent toileting requirement upon the start of camp will not be permitted to attend until this requirement is fulfilled. Additionally, there will be no credit or refund issued for missed days due to non-compliance with the toileting requirement. This policy is in place to ensure the appropriate participate of all campers and upholds the standards of care and participation set by the camp.

Exceptions to this policy will only be considered for medical reasons, and proper documentation from a child's doctor is required. Medical refunds will be granted up to two weeks before the camp starts and will be subject to the refund guidelines.

Enrollment is evaluated two weeks before the start date (30 days for courses for credit) to determine if registration meets minimum requirements. CCDSummer reserves the right to cancel due to insufficient enrollment. If this occurs, we will make every effort to place campers into another available program. An email notification will be sent with alternative options or the option to receive a full refund.

Photo and Video Usage Policy

Cincinnati Country Day School (CCDS) uses, publishes, and reproduces images and videos of its students for recognition, marketing, community building, publicity, and other school- and camp-related purposes. Usage could be included, but is not limited to, promotion on the school website, digital newsletters, brochures, newsmagazines, and social media. It may not be possible to avoid photographing or filming my child at widely attended events; therefore, in these situations, CCDS cannot prevent the use of photos and footage that unintentionally include my child. Additionally, restrictions will not apply to photos/videos of groups of 10 or more students in which no particular student is featured. I understand that if I wish to restrict the usage of photos and/or videos that include my child, I must email Josephine McKenrick, director of strategic marketing & communications, at mckenricj@countryday.net. I understand that Do Not Publish requests must be submitted by June 1, and the request is valid for one summer only.
