Camp T-Shirts
All campers and Junior Counselors will automatically only receive ONE T-shirt, no matter how many sessions of camp they are registered for. This will give us more certainty on how many total T-shirts will be needed over the summer and help avoid waste. Our $25 multi-session discount is partially due to this policy.
If you would like more than one T-shirt, you can purchase additional T-shirt(s) for $10 each during your online registration in CampDoc.
We will give you your child's T-shirt when you arrive at their first day of camp. Some campers want to change into their new T-shirt right away, and some choose to send it home with their parents/guardians to save for another day. Wearing the T-shirts to camp is always optional, never required. In past years, about 25-50% of the campers have been wearing their T-shirt on any given day.

Cancellation Policies
We understand that sometimes plans change, emergencies occur, and injuries or illnesses happen. If your child can no longer attend their camp week, please let us know as soon as possible by contacting Camp Director Ben Jacques (ben@blufflake.org). If you reach out sooner rather than later, you will have more transfer options, lower cancellation fees, and a greater chance of benefiting a family who is still hoping to get in from the waitlist.
Please read on to learn what transfers, refunds, or credits you may be eligible for. We are sorry that your child won't be able to join us, and we thank you in advance for your understanding of our policies. These fees and deadlines help offset the staff time that has already gone into processing your child's forms and preparing their small group assignments. They also allow for the time we will spend trying to fill the cancelled spot, which becomes increasingly difficult as families on the waitlists commit to alternative options. We truly appreciate your help in protecting our essential staff resources, so that we can keep offering a great camp each year!
Refund Insurance Note: We do not offer refund insurance or accept any third party refund insurance. Please save your money and avoid these companies.
Transfer
Transfers can only be accommodated before May 20th, 2024. After that date it would be a cancellation (see below)
$25 Fee to transfer from one session to another.
To request a transfer, please contact Camp Director Ben Jacques at ben@blufflake.org as soon as possible. Please include your name, your camper’s name, the session you want to transfer out of, and the session you would like to transfer into. Transfer’s are dependent on available spots.
Standard Cancellations
You may cancel a camp session up until May 19th, 2024 for a refund minus the following fee (fees are per camper, per week):
$50 Fee until May 19th, 2024
As of May 20th no refund will be issued, you have the choice of $150 credit towards Bluff Lake programming or to switch to another week’s waitlist. If you reach the top of the waitlist and get a spot your payment will be applied to that session. If you do not get a spot you will be given $150 credit for Bluff Lake programming.
No refunds or credit will be given for camp days missed due to late or missing forms or medications. No refunds or credit will be given for unused days of extended care.
To request a cancellation, contact Camp Director Ben Jacques (ben@blufflake.org).
Extended Care Changes
If you cancel a week of camp (see cancellation policies above), any pre-care or post-care registrations for that week will automatically be cancelled as well for no additional fee.
You can add, cancel, or change extended care options up until 2 weeks before your camp week begins without any change fees (100% refund).
If your camp is less than 2 weeks away, there is a $10 change fee (per child, per week), and your options will depend on how many other campers are already registered for extended care that week. If you are the only family registered for extended care for the week, you may cancel for no charge.
To request changes to extended care, please contact Camp Director Ben Jacques as soon as possible at ben@blufflake.org.
