Waiting List Registrations are recorded in
the order they are received.
There is a $6 non-refundable deposit required to be listed on our
waitlist. Traditionally we are able to place about 50%
of our Regular Day Camp waitlist campers, depending on the total
number on the waitlist. Because of the
smaller number of available spots in the Sunshine Days Program, chances
of moving in from those lists are much smaller. Being placed
from any waiting list will depend on any cancellations we receive. We will keep your
camper's name on our waiting list until the day before the session you have chosen, unless
you call to ask us to take you off the list. If we are able to
place you from a waitlist into a confirmed status, we do NOT call
first, so if you change your mind, please contact us in writing to
remove you from that waitlist.
Or, if your chosen weeks are full and you do not want to be placed on the waiting list at
all, please indicate that on your written form. Otherwise we will place you there.
If you are mailing in a check with a waitlist registration, please
make it for $6 per week only. If we are able to place your
child, we will auto-bill through eCheck the balance. If you
prefer to pay with debit or credit card, you will be charged $6 per
week at the time you are placed on the waitlist. We will
auto-bill your debit/credit card the balance if we are able to place
your camper.
You may remove your camper
from a waitlist at anytime, but unless you contact us in writing
through email or the Contact Us page, we will assume you continue to
want your camper to be placed in the waitlisted week, and we will
move them in as soon as a spot opens. After the move, and
after the registration fees have been charged, we will send you a
confirmation email to let you know that your camper is confirmed in
the week you had waitlisted. If you decline this waitlist
placement after we have moved you in, there will be a $20
cancellation fee.

B efore you go to the
online registration page, please read the information above and below, especially the
waitlist instructions
and the cancellation
and change of weeks policy.
<top>
We will record each of
the online regular or wait list registrations as we receive them. If you choose this
online option to register, you may use a debit/credit card or electronic check.
Online registrations for available weeks are recorded immediately.
PROCESSING FEE: Each
camper's fees will include a $5 per week processing fee.
Payment of the registration fees may be made
in installments. If you would like to pay in that
manner and you are not registering online, you may print the Multi-Pay Plan info and
form online, after Oct. 1st. If you mail or drop-off
your registration form, and you would like to pay in installments,
the Payment Plan Option sheet must be attached to your registration
form. If you use the online registration, you may indicate
that option during the payment process, without the need to mail in
a Payment Plan sheet. Payment installments will be
automatically charged or drafted from your checking account on dates
you will be given in an additional payment-plan information email.
A limited number of scholarships
are available each year;
however please
register early as all
scholarship monies are usually awarded by April 1st. If you would like to provide a scholarship for a child in
the community to have a week of unforgettable memories, please call
or email, and we'll welcome
your tax-deductible contribution. Scholarship donations are
used only for providing camper scholarships. You may designate
specific campers, or we will offer the scholarship to a child who
otherwise would not be able to participate. Scholarship
forms are available online. <top>
Fill in your choice of "Place in
a group with" on the Registration Form carefully. Check to make sure your "group-mate" choices are
registering for the same week you are, that they are of the same sex and within one year
of the same age. The staff at Camp Thurman wants to place your child in a group which will
make his/her experience here the happiest possible, and we do our best to fulfill your
requests, but once the weeks are full, and the groups are formed, it is very difficult for
us to change one camper from group to group without disappointing another camper.
<top>
Change of Weeks:
Once your registration has been
submitted, you are committed to that week. If later, you find
it necessary to request a change of weeks, you must do so in
writing, either through the website
or regular mail. No change of
weeks will be made by phone. If the week you desire
is available, we will be glad to make that change; however it will not be
official until you receive a Change-Of-Weeks Confirmation from the
office or you see that change on your MyCampThurmanAccount online,
so please let us know if you do not receive one, and please keep
that confirmation for your records.
As long as you request a change of weeks at least two weeks
before your camp date, and the week you would like to move
to is available, we will make that change for a $5 fee for
first-time requests. Any subsequent requests will be a $10
fee.
Change of weeks during the last two weeks
before camp will be considered a cancellation and re-registration.
You will be required to pay for the new week. Cancellations/Penalties: There is a $25 charge for returned checks. A 50% refund is
available if you cancel at least two weeks before your session date. No
refunds will be made for cancellations in the last two weeks
before your session date. Cancellations must be requested in
writing, either through the website
or regular mail. No cancellation of weeks will be made by phone.
