Payment Terms & Cancellation Policy

REMINDER: There is no financial commitment associated with applying to Camp Akeela. We do not process any payment until it is mutually agreed that Camp Akeela is the right fit for your child. (The $1000 “deposit” is held as a placeholder for a camper’s spot while the family completes the application process. If the family or the camp directors decide that the camper won’t attend Akeela this summer, that payment is never processed.)

Full terms and conditions are provided on the camper enrollment form. Below are a few highlights.

Camp tuition is due according to the following schedule:

  • Upon submission of the camper application: $1000 deposit (plus $500 ACAP fee, if Camper Assurance Program is selected)
  • By January 31, 2025: 50% of remaining balance.
  • By April 30, 2025: 100% of remaining balance.

Payments may be made by eCheck/ACH, by credit card or debit card, or by check. A 3.0% transaction fee will be added to credit card payments only.
