The Roughing It Quality Guarantee

We stand behind the quality of our camp programs. All our staff are dedicated to making sure every child's experience at camp is safe, fun, and fulfilling. To this end, we fully guarantee your child's satisfaction at camp or we'll give you a refund. We know that starting camp can be a period of transition for children, so we recommend parents work with us pro-actively from day one if any issue arises. Our counselors and administrative staff are all here to help!

Refund Policy

Our refund policy is designed to discourage last minute cancellations and to help families on our waiting list. The fee is refundable minus 10% up to May 1. After May 1, there is no refund unless the space can be filled by another camper. During camp, there is no refund for camper illness, missed days, vacations, or dismissal from the program.
