Camp Fire accepts children into our programs on a first-come, first-served basis.
The registering adult must register their child for each session desired every year. Camp Fire holds the registering adult responsible for all fees unless another adult sends us a letter in writing indicating their responsibility for all or part of the program fees.
Registration
When completing registration, there will be registration fee(s), as well as a deposit. Both the Registration & Deposit fee(s) are required at check-out in order to complete registration and to hold your child’s spot. Both fees are non-refundable and non-transferrable.
The Registration fee(s) is an annual fee, based on calendar year. The annual registration is $50 per child.
The deposit is $35 per program, per child, and will be applied to the first billing statement for that program. The deposits will also be required for each half day, full day or break you are registering your child for.
A current physical, dated within 24 months, and immunization records are due within 30 days of your child starting in program. If these documents are not received within 30 days, your child’s enrollment may be temporarily suspended until valid documents are received.
