Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
We strive to create a safe and equitable space for all children and staff to be able to be their best selves. We define equity as the opportunity for every individual to have the ability to reach their full potential. Our definition of equity encompasses race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, nation of origin, ability and alterability/disability, language, experiences, education, socioeconomic status, social/emotional or developmental experience, and physical appearance. We welcome and strive to provide a warm, nurturing environment for all. If your student needs extra support to feel welcome, safe, and supported, please contact us so that we can work with you to find the best solutions. Because of the wide variety of terrain at each site, students with physical limitations should contact us prior to registration so that we can make sure we will be able to serve your child’s needs.
Cancellation/Refund Policy
These policies are here to allow us adequate time to contact families with campers on the waiting list and make informed decisions regarding weekly supplies and camp staff schedules.
● If you cancel 31 days or more prior to the first day of camp, 75% of the camp
fee will be refunded.
● If you cancel 14-30 days prior to the first day of camp, 50% of the camp fee will
be refunded.
● Cancellations made less than 14 days from the first day of camp date cannot be
refunded.
● If you are on a payment plan and need to cancel, the above statements still
apply and you will be responsible for the appropriate percentage of the camp fee per
your predetermined payment schedule.
● Registrations and fees are non-transferable.
● Camp Change Requests must be received in writing at least 14 days prior to the
camp's start date. All changes are subject to availability.
We reserve the right to cancel for a period of time if the administration believes that it is necessary for the safety of the children or adherence to law. Examples of reasons for closures include, but are not limited to: extreme and inclement weather, and national and local disasters and/or emergencies. These are considered circumstances beyond our control and no reimbursement will be given for fees paid for that time. As an entirely outdoor summer camp, EdenAcres summer camp may be more affected by extreme weather than other camps with access to indoor spaces.
