REDUCTION IN SESSION POLICY

Walden will gladly decrease camper registrations to an offered session at no penalty (as though this was their decision all along).  If, in good faith, a family thinks their camper might extend, we’d like that family to register for the longer session at no risk. Be aware that extending during the summer costs more and can only be done as space allows. 

REFUNDS AND CANCELLATION POLICY

Campers who are dismissed due to major policy infraction are charged in full.

Families who cancel a camper:

• BEFORE OCT 1: are refunded in full. No questions asked.
• BEFORE FEB 1: are charged $1000.  No, it cannot be transferred to a sibling or used for next year.
• BETWEEN FEB 1 AND CAMPER’S SCHEDULED FIRST DAY: are charged $2000.  $1000 of that is absolutely non-refundable, and the other $1000 can be used as a family credit for next year or applied to a financially needy camper this year.
• AFTER CAMPER BEGINS: are charged the average of: the prorated amount and the nearest larger session fee e.g. a 7-week camper who leaves after 3 weeks would be charged for 3½ weeks (the average of 3 weeks and the nearest larger session of 4-weeks)
• Cancellation fees are subject to HST.

This Cancellation and Reduction in Session Policy, along with all other Camp Walden Policies, the Camp Walden Conditions of Registration, and the Camp Walden Guidebook are collectively referred to as the “Terms”, all of which may be amended from time-to-time without notice.

This Cancellation & Reduction in Session Policy (“CRS Policy”) applies in circumstances where: (i) a camper’s registration or camp session is partially or entirely cancelled or terminated for any reason; or (ii) camp is partially or entirely cancelled for Force Majeure Events (as defined).

Deposits are non-refundable for any reason whatsoever including for cancellation or termination of registration or camp session, or for Force Majeure Events. Camp Walden will give consideration in exceptional circumstances and may, at its sole discretion on a case-by-case basis, make an exception to this CRS Policy which exceptions are made on a non-precedential basis and others may be refused even for the same reasons and in the exact same circumstances.

There is a tiered fee charged for cancellation or termination of campers’ registration or camp session made after registration as described below. Cancellation and reduction fees and any other applicable charges are deducted from the Session Fee and the balance is refunded within sixty (60) days.

In addition to any other provisions limiting liability elsewhere in the Terms, Camp Walden is not responsible for, and will have no liability for any loss, cost, expense, damage or inconvenience caused to or suffered by a camper or their family or any third-party, or for the inability of Camp Walden to procure or provide some or all of the goods or services or supplies required to operate, including without limitation: (A) lack, failure, malfunction or difficulty with sanitation, hygiene, health, safety and related goods, services, supplies, equipment, and/or materials; (B) lack, failure, malfunction or difficulty with electrical power, power supply, generators, outlets, cables, fuses, or other power requirements including without limitation related goods, services, supplies, equipment, and/or materials; (C) lack, failure, malfunction or difficulty with the general suitability at any time for any reason with respect to fixtures, service capacity, goods, services, supplies, equipment, and/or materials, or for any other reason including without reasons relating to health, safety and security, including but not limited to epidemic and/or pandemic, airborne and/or contagious viruses, infections, outbreaks or illnesses of any kind; (D) acts of God such as fire, flood, earthquake; (E) elements of nature including without limitation inclement weather; (F) acts of governmental authorities including without limitation war, insurrection, act of terror, revolution, civil commotion, acts of public enemies, or other military or police or first responder matter or incident as well as any act of a governmental authority otherwise affecting the operation of or ability to operate the camp session in whole or in part in any direct or indirect manner; (G) unavailability, unsuitability or failure of dependent services including labour and materials (each a “Force Majeure Event”).
