Thank you for telling the story of Roughing It. We are excited and grateful that you are interested in recommending Roughing It to a friend. Below are the Roughing It Refer A Friend Program Guidelines and Conditions.

How The Program Works

By referring a new family to Roughing It, you and your friend will receive Camp Credit when your friend enrolls their child(ren) in a Roughing It program for the coming summer. Camp Credit is not a rebate; see below for clarification. Here is how the process works:

You refer your friend using our Online Refer A Friend Form. Your friend must be a new camper family with children that have never enrolled in a Roughing It program before.
After your friend enrolls and we receive their completed registration, you are awarded Camp Credit that can be used towards tuition payment or other camp expenses. Your friend receives Camp Tuition Credit towards the cost of tuition in the program they enrolled in.
If you have not completely used your Camp Credit by the end of the summer, your remaining Camp Credit will carry over to future years.

Camp Credit Rates 2013

Both you and your friend will receive an equal amount of Camp Credit, per camper, based on the program your friend chooses to enroll their camper(s) in. The following Camp Credit rates apply for Summer 2013:

$150 credit towards a session of 4 or 8-week Day Camp
$75 credit towards a session of Horse Day Camp or Little Raccoons
$55 credit towards a session of Outdoor Explorers
$25 credit towards a session of Hello Horse Camp

How Camp Credits Are Determined

The total amount of Camp Credit given to both you and your friend is based on the following:

Camp Credits are awarded to you (the referring family) and your Friend (a first time camper family) at the time your friend enrolls his/her child in a Roughing It program.
At the time of initial enrollment, if your friend enrolls his/her child(ren) in multiple programs, the amount of Camp Credit awarded will be for the program of greatest value.
No additional Camp Credit will be given if your friend enrolls his/her child(ren) in additional programs after initial enrollment, even if that program has a higher credit value than the initial program they originally signed up for.
A Camp Credit will be award for each first time camper enrolled from your friend’s family - a new camper family. You and your friend will both receive the same Camp Credit based on the number of children enrolled and the program(s) they are registered in for the summer. For example, if your friend enrolls three children in the same program, you and your friend will receive total Camp Credit equal to the Camp Credit we offer for that program, multiplied by three.
Camp Credit is awarded on a first come, first serve basis; If two families refer the same friend, Camp Tuition Credit will be awarded to the referrer that submits the Online Referral Form first. Exception is made if two or more families refer the same friend on the same day. In this instance, Camp Credit will be split equally between the referrers.

Terms and Conditions

In order for any Camp Credit to be awarded to either you or your friend, the following criteria must be met:

You must submit your referral using our Online Refer A Friend Form.
You must submit the Online Refer A Friend Form PRIOR to your friend registering his/her child for camp.
You, the referrer, must be an existing Roughing It camper family (i.e., part of a household with children who are currently enrolled or have previously attended a Roughing It program).
Your friend must be a new Roughing It camper family (i.e., part of a household with children that have never attended a Roughing It program before).
Your friend must enroll his/her child(ren) in a Roughing It program for the coming summer.
Your friend cannot be someone from within your own household.

In the event that your friend disenrolls his/her child(ren) from camp, any Camp Credit you received from this referral cannot be used and will no longer apply to your camp expense account.

Using Camp Credits

Camp Credits have no cash value and can only be used to reduce the amount of either current or future outstanding balances at Roughing It.

Camp Credits CAN be used in the following ways:

As payment towards the balance of any Roughing It program, including post-session programs and program extensions (e.g., from 4-week Day Camp to 8-week Day Camp).
As payment towards a CampPlus (before and after camp care) balance.
As payment towards other Roughing It camp expenses, such as camp clothing or the overnight.
Saved and applied towards your camp account for future years if not completely used by the end of the camp season.
Donate to the "Roughing It Foundation," providing camperships to campers who would not normally have the opportunity to attend camp. More information about this foundation at: www.roughingit.org
Transferred to another camper family or person.

Camp Credits CANNOT be used in any of the following ways:

For items or services where payment is not handled through Roughing It (e.g., lunches purchased through Roughing It's lunch provider).
Redeemed for cash.
