Cancellation Policy

We understand that sometimes cancellations are necessary and we will work with your family to issue refunds when possible and reasonable. If you have any concerns or questions about the refund policy detailed below, do not hesitate to contact us at info@thesealeague.org.

Session Deposits & Transfers

A one-time, non-refundable, deposit of $30 will be charged upon registration, per seasonal session. This $30 fee is per family, per seasonal session, and is non-refundable on canceled registrations. 

  • School Year: We require families to pay their full balance two weeks before the start of the session. Deposit fees may not be transferred to a different session (for example a deposit paid for fall session may not be transferred to winter session), but the deposit may be transferred one time to a different registration in the same session. After one transfer has been made to a different registration, a new deposit fee will need to be charged for any new registrations.

  • Summer: We require families to pay their full balance as of June 1st for all weekly programs during summer session. You may change your child's camp once at no cost if a request is received 15 or more full working days before the original reserved camp date. The deposit fee already paid will be applied. After that, a new deposit fee will need to be paid for any new registrations. 

Cancellations & Refunds

All cancellations must be made in writing, clearly stating your request to cancel and your desired last-day or weekly camp dates. The $30 deposit fee is non-refundable on canceled registrations. 

We do not give refunds for participants that are unable to attend a program because they are sick.

  • School Year: Families pay for multiple weeks of seasonal programming that we call sessions (eg fall or spring).  If you need to cancel during your enrolled session, you will be charged for the next scheduled week of programming (plus the $30 non-refundable deposit).  A prorated refund will then be issued for any remaining weeks left on your paid balance. 

  • Summer: When summer camp cancellations are received 15 or more full working days before the reserved camp date, you will receive a 90% refund minus the $30 non-refundable deposit. Between 7-14 full working days before the reserved camp date, you will receive a 50% refund minus the $30 non-refundable deposit.When cancelation occurs fewer than 7 full working days before the reserved camp date, families are not eligible for a refund. Although we do have waiting lists, people often make other plans and we can’t always fill a spot on short notice.

Additionally - you can consider turning your refundable amount into a tax-deductible donation to support one of the many children in our programs receiving a scholarship.
