2026 Payment & Refund Policies

We recognize that sending your camper(s) to Ramah Day Camp is a significant financial investment. As a result, we are committed to establishing policies and procedures that work mutually for your family and Ramah Day Camp. We thank you in advance for your support and cooperation.

PAYMENT POLICY

• All camper tuition must be paid in full in order for campers to attend camp. Typically, the balance of tuition is paid in 7 monthly installments between November and May preceding the summer, using the payment method on file. Payment in full is required by May 15th.
• Enrollment in camp must be accompanied by a $500 non-refundable deposit, which is charged automatically once your camper’s application has been processed and your camper is enrolled in the program.
• Enrollment deposits are NOT refundable and NOT transferable. In the event that one camper in a family withdraws, their enrollment deposit will not be applied to the total family bill for other siblings.
• Payments can be made by credit/debit card or e-check; credit card transactions will incur a 3% processing fee. We encourage families to use the e-check option through your CampInTouch account as there are no fees assessed with an e-check payment.
• Invoices will begin arriving from enrollment@ramahpoconos.org in November. The first payment will be charged on November 15th. Campers from families who have not fully paid tuition by May 15th will not be allowed to attend camp and no bunking or logistics information will be provided.
• Late enrollment after April 15th must be accompanied by 50% of the total tuition bill with balance paid in full by May 15th. Late enrollment after May 1st requires that tuition be paid in full by May 15th.
• Families who have an unpaid balance from a previous summer will not be able to enroll for the current summer.
• Payments returned for non-sufficient funds or other banking issues will incur a $50 administrative fee.

REFUND POLICY

Ramah Day Camp staff work year-round to plan for a successful, meaningful, and safe summer. Our refund policy reflects the fact that a significant portion of our expenses are incurred well before camp begins. As a non-profit, Ramah Day Camp relies on tuition fees to fund our year-round operations. All requests to withdraw your camper from camp before the start of camp must be received in writing (email). Requests for changes made by phone will not be honored.

Changes/Withdrawals before June 1:

When withdrawing from camp or switching sessions (full to first/second, first to second, second to first) we will refund your tuition payment - not including the non-refundable deposit - less the following cancellation fee:

• 2/15 - 2/28: $250
• 3/1 - 3/31: $500
• 4/1 - 5/31: $1,000
• No refunds are given after June 1st

Withdrawals after Camp Begins:

No tuition refund will be made for withdrawals after the start of camp. In the following circumstances, we will refund your tuition payment - not including the deposit - less the following administrative fee:

• If camp administration determines that it is in the best interest of a camper to leave camp, a prorated refund will be provided
• Tuition will not be prorated for missing camp days due to illness. If a camper does not attend a trip day, tuition will not be prorated. Tuition will not be prorated for absences.
• Health Emergencies: Campers who leave camp during the summer, for a documented health emergency, will be eligible for a prorated refund. Campers who withdraw prior to the start of camp, for a documented health emergency, will be eligible for a full refund, less the non-refundable deposit.

Transportation Refunds

• Transportation refunds will not be provided after May 1st.

Lunch Refunds

• Lunch refunds will not be provided after June 1st.

Dismissal from Camp:

Per the discretion of camp administration, the behavioral infractions below can result in immediate dismissal from camp and NO TUITION REFUND due to a violation of policy. If a camper is dismissed involuntarily from camp because of a parent/guardian’s failure to provide accurate or complete behavioral and/or medical information, there will be no refund.
