For each younger child from the same family enrolled for the summer of 2023 there is a discount of $100.

TUITION, DEPOSIT AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

Tuition includes: Board and lodging, laundry, instruction, guidance, training, and complete camp program. The tuition

fee includes all expenses except personal expenses, spending allowance and transportation from the camper’s home to Florissant, Colorado.

CANCELLATION POLICIES

All money paid is fully refundable for cancellations received by February 1, 2023. Portions of camp payments are nonrefundable as summer approaches. See chart below for complete refund schedule.

Parents are responsible for all costs of early departure from camp for any reason.

Once the session begins, in the event of absence from or closure of the camps due to world events, natural disaster, global pandemic, or for any other reason, financial loss will be shared equally between the camps and the parents.

In the event the camps are unable to open due to world events, natural disaster, global pandemic or any other reason, the non-refundable portion of the camp tuition ($1500 for HT/BS month-long/$750 for Sanborn Junior) will be retained by Sanborn Western Camps. This is to ensure the long-term survival of the program.

ONLINE BILL PAY

We accept checks, most major credit cards, electronic checks, money orders and bank transfers as payment methods.

You may pay your tuition deposit, balance, and “Additional Options Form” expenses online under the “Financial Management” tab within Camp InTouch.

All payments must be received two weeks prior to Opening Day of the

child’s enrolled session. Failure to do so may result in the child’s withdrawal from camp.

SPENDING MONEY & THE CAMP STORE

Cash is not needed or used at camp. We operate a “camp bank” system and keep a record of each camper’s expenditures. A statement will be sent home after camp with a bill. We encourage careful spending and make every effort to keep the personal spending of campers to a minimum, but please discuss your expectations in this regard with your child.

All store items and rental equipment will be billed at the end of the summer. Fees for transportation, baggage, and shippments will also be billed at this time. We have 3 main categories of store items: food and necessities including toiletries, camping and gear essentials for trips, and Sanborn clothing swag. We encourage you to recognize your camper will spend potentially up to $150 on camp gear/store items. Please discuss with your child what your expectations are for store purchases. Travel money will be advanced when necessary.

The “Additional Options Form” is where you can select specific rental items (sleeping bags, backpacks, linens, riding boots, etc) as well as more expensive camping equipment such as Crazy Creek chairs and daypacks. By submitting the “Additional Options Form,” you are helping us to ensure enough items are ordered and reserving that item for your camper.

EQUIPMENT

Sleeping bags, backpacks, riding boots, bed linens and blankets may be rented from camp Please be aware

that Sanborn provides Junior campers with backpacking backpacks when needed; Junior campers do not need to rent or bring backpacking backpacks.

Other great places to look for gear and equipment for camp include REI, Sierra Trading Post, and Eastern Mountain Sports (EMS), as well as local gear shops.

Campers are not allowed to bring weapons, animals or pets of any kind (including personal horses), vehicles including bicycles, alcohol, tabacco products, and nonprescription drugs to camp. Campers may bring tennis racquets or fishing gear, but should not bring personal climbing gear, archery equipment, baseball bats, lacrosse or hockey sticks. The camp is well-supplied with this equipment.

LAUNDRY

Campers will receive laundry service at least twice a week. Because laundry is done with such frequency, and campers have limited space for storing personal belongings, please do not pack excessive amounts of clothing or linens. A packing list can be found on page 17 of this guide.

There is no additional charge for laundry service. Please clearly label every item your child brings to camp; this helps children recognize their items and minimizes lost and found. If lost, clothing items that are clearly labeled with the camper’s first and last name will be mailed home at the end of the summer season.
