Refunds/Cancellations:

We realize that Pact Camp is a significant cost for many families. It is critical that participants also realize that Pact runs this event on a shoestring. We offer quality programming for both adults and children: nationally renowned speakers, unique programs to help children process their adoption experience, and wonderful opportunities for recreation. It is a struggle to create a budget that allows access for families while ensuring that Pact breaks even. We will not make a profit on the camp.

Part of the financial model to make camp possible involves non-refundable program fees. This is an effort to ensure that Pact's significant organizing costs are covered by fees and donations received. In order to ensure our camp location, it is necessary for us to put down a significant deposit and guarantee a certain number of registrants. We need to secure speakers, counselors and daycare workers. All of these costs are nonrefundable for Pact. Once paid, PROGRAM fees for Pact Camp are non-refundable. Please take care in making your summer plans. HOUSING fees are refundable prior to May 1, 2008; after that date, they are nonrefundable as well.

"Roll-Over" Replacements: Canceling families may recruit another family to take their place at camp, and "roll over" their program fees. There will be $50.00 per person handling fee for each new registration.

Emergency Cancellations: Unfortunately, we cannot give refunds for last-minute cancellations. If you feel that this would prove a hardship for your family, we strongly recommend purchasing trip cancellation insurance which will cover your costs in the event of an emergency. Visit www.travelguard.com or www.travelinsure.com for information on trip cancellation insurance.

Family-to-Family Scholarships:

Each year we are fortunate to have some families help subsidize the cost of camp for families who may otherwise not be able to afford to come. Any amount that you can donate, no matter how small or large, for a family-to-family scholarship will be deeply appreciated. Donate Now!

Camp Scholarship Information:

We are able to offer a limited number of scholarships to cover part some percentage of a family's program fees only (all families who attend camp must pay their housing costs).
