Transportation

PARENT/GUARDIANS: If you are enrolling your child in any camps at Otter Pond Wilderness Day Camp, including Saddles & Swim, you must indicate your transportation preference on the Transportation Form. It is important for the safety of your child that his or her transportation information be correct. Also, please complete the permission form included if you want your child to be able to walk home from the bus stop at the end of the day. Otherwise, your child will not be released from the bus unless a parent or authorized escort is there to pick him or her up. There is no extra charge for bussing or extended care.

Financial Assistance Procedures

All financial assistance forms must be received by April 1, 2008. Please fill out all forms completely with required attachments. Applications are provided in the registration packet below.

Confirmation Packets

Confirmation of registration will be sent along with a packet of general camp information. Campers will not be admitted to camp without completed forms.

Cancellations and Refunds

All deposits are non-refundable, non-transferable. Tuition for campers who leave for behavioral reasons will not be refunded. For cancellations other than verifiable medical reasons, tuition paid in advance (minus deposit) will be refunded if we receive written notice with reasons for withdrawal by two-weeks before the start of program.

Tuition for campers who attend camp with lice or other infectious conditions will not be refunded, but the balance of the session may be applied to another comparable session after the child is deemed to no longer be contagious.

Summer Champs & Other Agency Aid

For Summer Champs participants, our identification number is 29. If another social services agency is paying for your child to attend camp, we must have information from that agency when enrolling your child in camp. Summer Champs recipients have to pay a one time $50 fee to hold their spot in camp. For other social services agencies, the fee may be waived. If you do not have a contract with an outside agency, then you must pay the registration deposit. If you have any questions, call the YMCA at 688-2255.
