What if I need to cancel or transfer a week of my child's camp?
Full Day Camps: All requests must be submitted in writing no later than Monday, May 1. A $25 processing fee will be charged for any changes to camp registrations. In addition, if a participant received a discounted rate for a Play Package Summer Deal, participants would lose the discount for all weeks of summer registration by removing a week or more from a registration.
Sports and Specialty Camps: All requests must be submitted in writing no later than one week prior to the first day of camp. There is a $10 processing fee for all refunds and transfers.
Camps may be canceled due to a lack of enrollment. Please make every effort to pre-register weeks in advance so a camp will not be canceled unnecessarily.
What happens if my child's sports or aquatics camp is canceled due to inclement weather?
Every attempt will be made to make a timely decision on the status of the camp when inclement weather is possible. Parents can call 727-518-3016 for cancellation information.

-
If there is light rain (no lightning), the camp will continue. If the weather is more severe and the forecast calls for it to continue throughout the morning camp will be canceled. Call 727-518-3016 to confirm
-
If camp begins and bad weather appears during the program, campers will be taken indoors or under shelter, until the weather passes, or until the end of camp. Campers may be picked up if this occurs

These emails will not go out until May.
