Campers who attend for four weeks get the half-summer discount of $400.
Any campers who attend for 8 weeks get the full summer discount of $1,000.
The referral discount is $100 off for the referral of a new camper who has never attended our programs before.
There is no limit to the number of referral discounts you can earn. The number of campers referred is independent of number of sessions each signs up for. Referring one friend who signs up for 6 weeks counts as one referral because it was only one person.
If the camper you referred cancels their registration and does not attend, the discount will be cancelled and you will need to pay the difference.
Referrals are applied to your account manually. Email us to have us check for your friend's registration and apply the discount. The discount is applied as a credit to your account after you have registered a camper. If you already paid too much, we can refund you.
The first two sessions of the summer are discounted due to seasonal demand. The first two weeks of camp are great options for some families while other families are still in school or taking a family vacation. Early sessions have the same activity options as regularly priced sessions. The staff is fresh and full of energy for the early weeks.
The early season prices cannot be applied to any other weeks. If you sign up for the early weeks but need to switch later, we cannot apply the discount to the later weeks.
We do not offer any scholarships. We strive to offer the best camp we can at a reasonable price. We have many old buildings and a large property requiring a lot of maintenance work; we try to attract a high quality staff and compensate them for their hard work; we provide plenty of wholesome food. The first two sessions are heavily discounted, and that is the best we can do for scholarships or discounts. The discount cannot be applied to other weeks.
Can the referral discount be applied to a sibling? Yes, if the sibling is a first time camper at Slovenski Camps. The referral discount applies to new campers only, regardless of whether it is a sibling, cousin, or neighbor.
Can I refer the person who referred me? No, you cannot refer each other to camp. This is true for siblings and friends. A child cannot refer his sibling and be referred by them. A kid cannot be referred by his friend and refer him. We can only apply one discount for $100 in these situations. If you want to split the referral, you must do so amongst yourselves.
Can referral tuition credit be transferred to next year? No, referral discounts apply to the current year only and do not carry forward if you need to cancel.
Is there late season pricing for the last week? No. We typically have less demand for the last session, but it is a regularly priced week. All the activity options remain the same as regular weeks. We have fewer programs that week (Athena, Dodgeball, Excalibur), so it usually ends up with extra spaces, and we are fine with that. We begin packing up a few items that do not interfere with the camp activities, such as the pole vault mats because there is no pole vault camp. It gets a little colder at night and a little darker sooner in the evening.
Before June 1st we can refund you in two ways: 100% as tuition credit for the next year OR all but $25 returned to you by your original method of payment.
Up until 10 days before the start of your session, we can refund you in two ways: all but $25 as tuition credit OR all but $50 returned to your original method of payment.
For precision in case it is needed, 10 days before your session will be defined as the start date on the calendar minus 10. Since check in starts at 3pm, your request must be submitted to our email by 3pm. All our sessions start on Saturday, so two Wednesdays before by 3pm is the deadline. For example, if your session is June 19, then the deadline to request your refund is Wednesday, June 9 at 3:00pm.
We can give you all but $50 as tuition credit if you need to cancel in the last 10 days before the session starts. At this point, we are unlikely to fill the space we held for you, even off the waiting lis, so we cannot offer cash back. We make cabin assignments and order food based on registrations 10 days out.
A deposit of $150 per camper is required to hold a space in camp. Registration is not complete until payment is received.
The balance of tuition is due June 1st. You may ask for an extension if your program is more than a month away. You may receive emails in the meantime reminding you to pay. Sometimes we have office workers check on payments and they don't find the email asking for the extension. If so, please kindly reply to those emails to let him know that you received an extension.
There is no fee for switching weeks. There must be space in the new week to accommodate a switch.
In the event of a need to cancel, we will try to work with you to transfer to a different week with availability.
If you need to cancel and can find a replacement, you may request that we substitute the new camper in for the one originally registered. This avoids any loss even of administrative fee, but you are responsible for dealing with the exchange of money to transfer the spot. This transfer only works if we have space for the new camper in the correct age & gender cabin.
Credit is for the season immediately following that for which credit was awarded and expires at the conclusion of that season e.g. if you registered for summer 2020, withdrew from summer 2020 before your session and received credit, your credit is good for any week of summer 2021 and expires at the conclusion of the summer 2021 season. If you register for 2021 with that credit, but then cancel, the credit cannot be rolled over to 2022.
Transferring credit to another family may be done on the customer end, but not from our end. We cannot pay you a cash refund and then have the other family pay us; they must pay you to purchase your credit from you.
Credits are applied to registered campers on our software, so we cannot send you a gift card or apply credit until after you enroll. We can send you an email confirming your credit amount.
Discounts are applied after you register because of the technical limitation that we can only apply a discount to a camper in the system. You may defer payment and email us to apply your referral discount so that you can pay the right amount. If you overpay because of a discount, simply email and we can refund your payment partially to achieve the correct balance.
