SPI Camp Policies 2024
Camp Registration Policies 2024
1. Registration is done online only through this platform. Do not put cousins on the same account or register on behalf of a friend or family member by adding their children to a Jumbula account that is not in the legal parent or guardian's name.
2. Camps are intended for the specified grade range. Choose the options that align with the grade that your child(ren) will have completed at the end of the 2023-2024 school year. Only In certain rare circumstance will we consider exceptions to this policy. Specifically, if a session is not full to our desired levels by a certain date (determined by staff) AND your child is just ONE grade ahead or behind the stated grade range AND they have a sibling already enrolled in the session in question.
3. Most families are expected to pay with credit card upon registration. However, as an accommodation for families lacking access to credit, we have enabled a cash payment option on the form. Once registration is confirmed, parents/guardians needing to choose this option should bring payment in person to SPI during days/times when we are open to the public and according to a timeline we communicate.
4. If SPI needs to cancel a weeklong camp session for any reason (including very low enrollment or unexpected changes to staff and venue availability), families will be notified as soon as possible and refunded 100% of their fees with our regrets.
5. If you need to cancel your child's registration due to unexpected circumstances, we will offer a partial refund of camp registration fees if you notify us by email to [email protected]. Please let us know: your child's name, the session(s) they will not be attending, and if you'd like a partial refund for fees paid. If you do not request a refund, it will be considered a donation (applied to camp scholarships or other of SPI's camp expenses); in this case we will send you a donation receipt if you'd like one.
6. Due to the shortened registration timeline and later development of our 2024 camp season offerings, this year's refund policy will differ from last year's as follows: If you notify us (by email to [email protected]) of your child's need to withdraw from a session by a date that is 3 weeks or more from the literal program start date, you qualify for a 50% refund of fees paid. With notice of at least two weeks, you qualify for a refund of 30% of fees paid. Cancellations less than two weeks prior to the session start date will not qualify for a refund. Refunds may not be addressed immediately, as staff will be monitoring many accounts and wait lists throughout our camp season and will need time to correctly reconcile financial transactions.
7. Only individuals who are specified by the parents/guardian may pick children up. SPI staff and volunteers will check IDs of each day at sign-out and match it against their list of authorized individuals. You may add additional names later if they were not submitted at the time of registration.
8. All children must be fully enrolled (all forms submitted, program fees paid) by the start of camp or they will not be able to participate.
9. Children may be signed into their camp session no sooner than 15 minutes prior to its start time and picked up no later than 15 minutes past the camp end time.
10. Children who feel ill should stay home from camp, abiding by the same public health guidelines as are typical in schools to prevent the spread of communicable infection and to enable their rest and recovery.
