Vacation Camp Billing Policy
: 

 Families may sign up for as many vacation camp days as they need as soon as enrollment opens. Payment for vacation camps is due no later than three weeks before the first day of a week-long camp or single day camp.  If you register for a vacation camp within the three week period, full payment is required at the time of registration. An $85 deposit is due at the time of registration.

For families that receive Childcare Financial Assistance (State Subsidy): Families may register for as many days as needed. The vacation camp co-pay will be calculated within 5 days of the conclusion of a vacation camp and is due within two weeks.  A subsidy certificate must be received three weeks before a vacation camp begins to hold a spot in the camp. Please make sure to note the location of the needed certificate when contacting Childcare Resource. 

Refund Policy: Refunds will be issued for Vacation Camps provided EJRP is notified three weeks prior to the day(s) enrolled. If less than three weeks notice is provided, a refund will only be provided if ALL of the following are true: A) the program is full and your cancellation opens up a spot was not previously available, B) there is an existing wait list, and C) EJRP is able to offer, and another family accepts the open spot in the program bringing it back to capacity. A $5 administrative fee will be assessed for each day that is cancelled.
