What if I need a Refund?

What if I need a Refund?
We understand that plans can change, and we strive to make our refund process straightforward.

• Refunds During the Early Registration Grace Period (January – March 15):
  For registrations made before March 15, cancellations submitted in writing to Red Oak (Dbaxter@redoakcamp.org) by March 15 will receive a refund of deposit minus a 25$ administrative fee and any applicable credit card processing fees.

• Refunds Before Six Weeks:
  Refunds are available for tuition paid when written notice is provided to Red Oak (Dbaxter@redoakcamp.org) at least six weeks before the start date of the specific program week being canceled. A 10% administrative fee will be applied to the tuition for the canceled week(s), along with any applicable credit card processing fees.

• Switching Weeks:
  Requests to switch weeks that we can accommodate will incur an administrative fee of $25 per week changed.

• Refunds Within Six Weeks:
  Refunds are unavailable within six weeks of the program start date unless the camper cannot attend due to documented health reasons. In such cases, a letter from a licensed physician is required, and any applicable credit card processing fees will still apply.

• No Refunds for Dismissals or Withdrawals:
  Refunds are not provided for campers dismissed from the program or withdrawn by the guardian for any reason, including unplanned vacations.

Overnight Info

For an additional cost, Campers enjoy a night of campfires, smores, and other extra-special activities! Our campouts are from Thursday through Friday. Each program has age and gender-specific activities and sleeping areas. Campers sleep in tents-however, if the weather is not great, we move tents to our large shelter for safety and comfort. We will provide Thursday's dinner & snack and Friday's breakfast, snack, and lunch for those who stayed overnight. 

Campers can also pick to stay at camp till 8:00 pm on Thursday to enjoy the night's activities while still sleeping at home. The cost remains the same if your camper goes home at 8:00 pm. Tent groups, specific weekly themes, and other information will be provided each Monday of camp. 

Overnights can be added at any time until the Tuesday of that week of camp.
