REGISTRATION AND REFUND POLICIES FOR SUMMER CAMPS: A minimum 50% deposit is required when registering for summer camp. Any remaining balances must be paid by May 31, 2012. If a camper drops out, refunds or credits are available on the following schedule: Before May 21, 2012, you can receive a refund minus $40 processing fee or full camp credit. After May 21, 2012, but at least 4 days before the camp start date, you cannot receive a refund but will receive a full camp credit. No refunds will be issued for any camps dropped after May 21. For camps dropped 3 days or less before first day of camp, no refund or camp credit will be issued. Full camp credit is available for camps dropped due to documented medical reasons. Campers may transfer from one camp to another, space permitting, with at least one week’s notice. Camps are paid by the week only; we do not prorate fees for partial camp weeks. Camp credit may be applied to camp tuition only.

Clay Work Pick-Up Campers working with clay on Monday will be able to take their finished work home Friday. Campers that use clay later in the week will receive instructions on when to pick their work up. We’ll also e-mail you when the work is ready, so be sure the front desk has your e-mail on file. Please allow 2 to 3 weeks for work to be fired and ready for pick-up. We’ll make every effort to make sure that you are able to pick up finished work, but we cannot hold work more than 8 weeks from the firing date. If you have questions, suggestions or requests, please contact our camp director, Melanie Brown, at 773. 769.4226 or via email at melanie@lillstreet.com Find out what’s happening at Lillstreet and see pictures from your child’s camp at http://kidstreetchicago.blogspot.com/
