Sick Camper Policy

In order to attend an in-person summer camp, all parents or guardians of campers must review and sign our Sick Camper Policy. The policy includes requirements for a daily health check, as well as procedures for any illnesses that occur during the camp day and for returning to camp after illness. The policy should be reviewed, signed, and submitted electronically in the camper health profile through CampDoc during registration. Download a copy of the Sick Camper Policy.

Cancellations

Requests for withdrawal from camp must be made at least two weeks prior to the camp start date to receive a full refund, minus the $50 non-refundable deposit. Any registration canceled with less than two weeks notice will forfeit the full cost of the camp
session.

For cancellations, please email Camps with your name, camper name, and registration information.

PacSci and our partners will make every effort to run camp sessions as scheduled, but in the event of extenuating circumstances requiring cancellation—such as a positive COVID-19 diagnosis or extreme weather conditions—one or more days of camp may be canceled without refund.

Pick-up/Drop-Off Locations

Due to COVID safety concerns, parents may be required to find parking for the time it takes to walk to the specified drop-off and pick-up locations. While parents and guardians may enter external spaces during drop-off and pick-up, only campers and staff may enter the buildings. Download PacSci’s drop-off map.
