US Engineering League – Terms and Conditions

General Agreements:

Our goal at US Engineering League is to provide the most enjoyable camps and classes for kids, while keeping costs low and as affordable as possible for families. You understand that camps and classes are planned well in advance. As an incentive for enrolling early and helping us plan accordingly, we often offer early bird specials or early registration discounts. To effectively manage our costs and ensure that we staff according to our student ratios, you agree to the following policies regarding cancellations and change requests.

Paid in Full Cancellation Policy:

You understand that by registering for a week of camp, we are reserving a space for your child to attend the camp for the specific week purchased. Cancellation requests received more than 14 days in advance of the camp start date will be refunded in full, less a $50.00 cancellation fee or 15% of total cost of camp before promotions. For cancellation requests received within two weeks of the start date your camp, the total amount refunded will include a 25% cancellation fee on total cost of camp before promotions. If you need to make changes within the 2-week period, a $25 fee applies. Acceptable changes include moving the camp to another week of the same value, at the same location purchased. This option is based on camp availability and no guarantees are made that the request can be accommodated. Refunds are not granted when cancelling less than seven days from the start of camp. If you need to make changes within 7 days from the start of camp a $50 change fee applies.

Refunds are not granted to students who are dismissed from the program for disciplinary reasons.

Low Enrollment Policy

Minimum camp size is 4 students; we reserve the right to cancel a class with enrollment below this threshold. Students who are enrolled in a camp that is cancelled due to low enrollment will be offered an alternate camp or a full refund and parents will be notified at least five days before the camp starts.

Waitlist Policy

If a camp is filled, our registration system offers a waitlist option. We recommend placing students on the waitlist; when space opens up we will contact them on a first come first serve basis.

Summer Camp Payment Plan Agreement: You understand that by registering for weeks of camp, under a payment plan we are reserving a spaces for your child to attend the camp for the specific weeks purchased. Cancellation of any weeks purchased under the payment plan consideration will result in a 25% cancellation fee for each week cancelled.
