2 Cultural&Community Services REGISTRATION

REGISTRATION POLICIES NEW Residency Requirements - In order to ensure that priority is given to verified residents for space and discounted pricing, the City is implementing stricter guidelines for proof of residency. Residents must have a valid SIB Resident ID Card in order to register during the priority period and to receive the discounted rates. Registration Fee for camp is a one-time, non-refundable fee ($35 for residents, $55 for non-residents). This fee includes one T-shirt, participant insurance, and administrative processing fees. The registration form, the non-refundable registration fee, a copy of child’s birth certificate, and a 50% (1/2) deposit of camp fees are required for camp enrollment. The balance of camp fees will be due by June 3. See Payment and Refund Policies for details (below). All camps have limited space available. Once a camp is full, a waiting list (see below for policy) will be started for that camp. Financial Assistance is NOT available for any of our programs. Please check our website for information on other camps in the area that do provide financial assistance for low-income families.

DISCOUNT POLICY Full Payment Discount: If you register your child for camp before June 3 and choose to pay the full amount due at the time of registration, you will receive a discount off your total camp fees (10% discount for residents, 5% discount for non-residents). ** Please note that a sibling discount is NOT AVAILABLE.

WAITLIST POLICY Once any camp becomes full, a waitlist will be started for that week. Anyone interested in having their name placed on the waitlist must fill out a waitlist form (this will be a short form with basic information about the potential participant as well as the parent or guardian). Interested participants will have the following priority on the waitlist: 1st Priority: Enrolled Participants (Children who are already enrolled in another week of the camp.) 2nd Priority: Residents 3rd Priority: Non-Residents

PAYMENT, REFUND, CANCELLATION POLICIES Registration Fee for any camp is a one-time, non-refundable fee ($35 for residents, $55 for non-residents). Only one registration fee is applied for the summer, regardless of how many different camps you register for. Payments will be due in two parts: 1/2 at the time of registration, and the final 1/2 due by June 3. ALL CAMP FEES ARE DUE PRIOR TO THE START OF THE SUMMER. There are no grace periods on payments. If a payment is not received by the due date, your reservation may be lost, and your deposit will NOT be refunded. Refunds or transfers of camp fees (minus CANCELLATION/TRANSFER FEE) can be made by submitting a Refund/Transfer Request Form (in writing) with at least 14 days notice to the Cultural & Community Services office. A CANCELLATION/TRANSFER FEE of $20 per week will be applied for ANY and ALL summer camp cancellations and/or transfers. Please understand that there is extensive administrative work involved in processing changes in your child’s enrollment, and allocating a replacement. Any returned checks must be settled at the office with cash or money order and will be assessed a $30 “returned check” fee. This must be settled immediately or may result in your child’s removal from the program.
