and be bussed to YMCA Camp Heidelberg from their home YMCA to meet the group on Thursday morning.

Additional Information Cold and/or Rainy Days Programs continue during inclement weather conditions. All sites have both indoor and outdoor shelter options. Day camp is a great opportunity to enjoy this type of weather outside, so proper dress for such a day is essential (rain wear, sweaters, boots etc.). For those camps that go on out-trips, a decision will be made in the morning as to whether to cancel a trip due to weather conditions. Trips are not made up if cancelled or shortened due to inclement weather. Out Trips Some of our camps have the opportunity to participate in off site trips. Our Discovery Days and LIA Level 2 camps have the opportunity to participate in off-site weekly trips. Please do not send money with your child for any reason. Children will not be permitted to purchase a lunch on out trips due to the length of time it takes to purchase lunches and due to child: leader ratio requirements. Children will need to bring lunch, snacks and drinks on trip days. Lost and Found All lost articles are collected daily and kept at each site. Each site will have a different area for lost and found items. Please check with the Site Coordinator for assistance in accessing the lost and found. Please LABEL EVERYTHING to make identification easier. Use first and last names when labeling your child’s things. Due to the volume, lost items will be kept for two weeks. Refund/Cancellation Policy Camp fees must be paid in full by June 1, 2013. A deposit of $50.00 per camp week is required at registration. Post-dated cheques must be submitted with deposit or, if paying balance with credit card, you must indicate the date for your credit card to be debited. Deposits are non-refundable. Camp fees are non-refundable after June 14, 2013, except for medical reasons (a doctor’s note is required). If a request for a refund is made before June 14, 2013, the refund will be issued minus the deposit and a 15% administrative charge. A full refund, minus the deposit, can be given as a credit note for the YMCA. When a doctor’s note is presented families can take either refund option: credit note or cash/credit refund. Please note that refunds can take 3–4 weeks to process. Credit notes can be used towards: other Day Camp programs, PD Day programs, membership, private swimming lessons, birthday parties, etc. 15
