Cancellation and Refunds
All KCC programs may be subject to cancellation or modification.

If you wish to cancel your registration, an email requesting cancellation must be received by DayCamp@KensingtonCommunityCouncil.org two weeks prior to the start of camp and a 50% cancellation fee will be retained. If you cancel less than 2 weeks before the start of your camp week, 100% of the registration fee will be forfeited. While we do what we can to make the camp environment safe, families are reminded that the possibility of COVID-19 transmission cannot be eliminated. If a student tests positive for COVID-19 before camp begins and has a doctor’s note, a 100% refund will be credited to your account for future camp dates not to exceed 8/15/24.
