Wildlife Camp Cancellation Policy

Cancellations made more than five weeks prior to the session’s start date will incur a $75 administrative fee.  Cancellations made less than five weeks prior to the session’s start date are non-refundable. There are no partial refunds for missed days.

Camp sessions are optimally designed for the stated grade ranges. Please do not register your camper in a session for which they are not eligible. If you register your camper for a session for which they are not grade-appropriate, WildCare reserves the right to cancel your camper’s enrollment and apply our cancellation policy.

Medication Policy

Our staff is not authorized to administer medications of any kind to campers. If your child requires medication during the day they must be able to self-administer with minimal supervision. Campers will carry their own emergency medications such as Epipens and inhalers and camp staff will instruct and support campers should an emergency arise.

COVID-19 and Contagious Illness

We do not require the COVID-19 vaccine for our program but we ask that a child showing signs or symptoms of any contagious illness stay home. All participants are welcome to wear a mask if they choose.

Behavior Policy 

• WildCare campers and staff are expected to treat all people and animals with dignity and respect at all times.
• Children are expected to follow directions and actively participate.This allows for all campers to have fun.
• Electronics should be left at home. Any cell phones must be turned off and stored in your child’s backpack during camp hours.
• Campers may not: bully or harass (say mean things or hurt others), use foul language, run away from the camp group, steal or take things without asking, destroy property, engage in lewd behavior or speech, or bring weapons of any kind.

WildCare has great staff and volunteer support for our summer camps but we may not have the right support for all children, especially those requiring special medical, behavioral, or social support.

If you have questions about whether WildCare’s Wildlife Summer Camps will be a good fit for your child, please contact cecilia@discoverwildcare.org.

Participants who are unable to follow our rules may be asked to leave camp or not return in the future. Refunds will not be provided. Children who are asked to leave for behavioral reasons or whose illness prohibits participation must be picked up from camp within 60 minutes of notification.
