Parents have two payment options. You can either make the full payment at the time of registration or opt for automatic monthly installments. The initial installment will be processed on your registration day, and the total number of payments will be based on your registration date. Registering earlier results in more installments. The last payment is scheduled for on or before July 31, 2024. Our intention is to distribute camp payments over a period of up to 5 months with this approach.

Discover Camp Early Registration and Loyalty Discounts
Each year, we extend a special early registration rate to families who enroll within our designated early registration period. This year, we are offering a $1,000 discount for early enrollment in the full-day summer program. To qualify for this discount, registration must be submitted by March 31, 2024. Early registration not only provides financial benefits to our loyal families but also aids us in effective planning and staff hiring. The unique feature of our early enrollment plan is that full payment is not required until July 2024, allowing for a “Register Now, Decide Later” approach. Early registration presents no drawbacks for families; it offers priority class selection, the best rates, a deferred payment option, and the flexibility to request a refund until June 1st if plans change.
Discover Camp’s “Family & Friends” Referral Program
Discover Camp has thrived through the support of word-of-mouth recommendations and referrals. We express our gratitude to families who refer new families by offering a 2.5% tuition discount. Additionally, this same discount is extended to the newly referred family. There is no restriction on the number of families you can refer, meaning the more referrals, the greater the discount for you. Referrals in the registration system will be tracked through a confidential coupon code provided to returning families via email. The discount will be applied directly to your balance, or alternatively, we will credit your account and issue a check.
Sibling Discount
Each year we offer a sibling discount. Two children receive 5% off total tuition, three children receive 10%, and four children receive 20%. Discounts apply to tuition only and not to other fees.
Refund Policy
Parents may request a 100% refund before June 1st. Unfortunately we cannot offer refunds after June 1st.
Registration System
Our registration system allows parents to create their accounts ahead of registration to speed up the registration process. The system allows parents to add classes to a cart and lock those spots until they check out. You are able to sort classes by period and grade. You must select one class per period that your children are attending. Each child must be put in a program, ie: Full Day Full Summer before classes are selected.
Important Information
