A non-refundable deposit of $75/session is required to reserve a space for your camper. Paid deposits are counted as payments toward the full registration fee. You can make payments towards your registration balance at any time up to two weeks prior to your session start date. Any remaining unpaid balance will be automatically charged to your credit card on file at that time.

If you register your camper within four weeks of the session start date, you will be required to pay the total registration amount.

Being outdoors in small groups, regular hand washing, sanitizing surfaces, and ongoing health monitoring by camp staff are our primary defenses against the spreading of communicable diseases at camp. We ask that families do their part by keeping campers home if they are showing signs of illness within a 24-hour period prior to coming to camp. Campers will be isolated, and parents notified to pick them up if they show signs of illness, such as:

• A temperature of at least 100.4 in combination with at least one other symptom of illness
• Diarrhea
• Severe coughing
• Difficulty breathing
• Evidence of untreated lice
• Sore throat or difficulty swallowing
• Vomiting more than one time or when accompanied by any other symptom of illness

See the parent handbook or downloadable policies for more detailed information.

Camp Mary Orton uses the ePact Network to collect camp forms, including waivers, pickup authorizations, and medical and emergency contact information electronically. Not only does ePact replace paper forms, but it also allows us to communicate with you in the event of an illness, injury, or large-scale emergency.

ePACT is a secure emergency network that we will use to collect medical and emergency contact information electronically. Not only will ePACT replace paper forms, but it will also ensure we have a way to communicate with you in the event of an unexpected situation.

Because of the additional cost of processing a change request, a $15 fee will be assessed for changing your camper’s week once you have registered.

We believe that making new friends is a core value of our camps, and when too many campers already know each other in one group, the experience of any new campers is less positive. Accordingly, ANY friend request is limited to 2 friends in total. If requests are made, the SAME requests must be made from ALL parties. Please note that we do our best to ensure that all campers in a group are close to the same age, and requests between separate camp programs Discovery Day Camp, Adventure Academy Base Camp A, Adventure Academy Base Camp B, and Leaders in Training are not possible.

If the ZipZone Canopy Tour Add-On is canceled due to weather, you will automatically receive a refund for the Add-On amount to your credit card on file. (no fee).

If you choose to cancel your ZipZone Add-On, a $15 fee will be assessed to cover the cost of processing the refund. The ZipZone add-on is non-refundable after 4:00 pm on the Friday prior to your camp week.

We ask that you honor the scheduled program times, Adventure Academy 9:00 am-4:00 pm and Discovery Day Camp 8:30 am-3:30 pm, as closely as possible.

For any camper not picked up by 3:45 pm for Discovery Day Camp and 4:15 pm for Adventure Academy, a $15.00 fee will be charged for every 15 minutes (or portion thereof) that your camper remains at camp. This fee will be applied to your ActiveWorks account and automatically charged to the card on file.
