Success At Akeela

Through our thorough application process and our extended conversations with all of our camp families, we do our best to ensure that each camper is a good “fit” for our camp community. However, children respond to new environments in different ways, and we occasionally determine that camp is no longer the best place for a certain camper. Before this decision is made, the camper’s parents will be engaged in problem-solving discussions. After all other possibilities are exhausted, a camper may be asked to leave our community. Parents must make arrangements to pick up their child at that time. No refunds will be granted.

This decision is always a last resort. Most importantly, we want all of our campers to leave Akeela feeling great about themselves. In cases of early departures, we will make sure that campers recognize the successes they had during their stay at camp – and we hope that parents will be equally committed to emphasizing the positive.
