Changing Weeks
Registration fee allows for a one-time date change prior to April 30, 2022. Changes after this date will incur a $25 per child/week fee. All changes are based on camp availability and must be approved by the camp director. We request that families notify us of date changes as soon as possible as space is limited and sessions fill up quickly.
Refund & Cancellation Policy:
La Dee Da will honor cancellation deposit refund requests as follows:
- In accepting your camp registration, La Dee Da reserves a place for your child and hires staff according to registrations and deposits paid. Therefore, no refunds or credits will be given after April 30, 2022.
- Any cancellation requests made before April 1, 2022 will receive a full refund minus a $35 cancellation fee. All cancellation requests MUST be made in writing. Cancellation requests made between April 1, 2022 and April 30, 2022 will receive a 50% refund, minus $35 registration fees. La Dee Da is unable to provide refunds or credits after April 30, 2022 due to limited enrollment and expenses incurred. We understand situations arise and plans can change! La Dee Da will allow you to give your spot (less registration fee) to a friend or family member but will be unable to assist in finding replacement campers for your child’s spot. Please provide notifications of enrollment changes including the name and age of the new camper via email to [email protected]. We do not provide refunds for absences, late arrivals, or early withdrawals of campers.
- No deposits/tuition will be refunded on or after April 30th, 2022, but is available to be transferred based on availability without additional charges.
- If illness causes your child to miss 3 or more consecutive days in one week of camp, you can submit a doctor's note as proof of illness and therefore be eligible to receive a partial credit on your account for that specific week (minus registration fees and deposits).
- The refund & cancellation policy also applies towards fees paid for early and post camp care.
- Campers under the age of 5 are not eligible for our full day camp program.

Discipline Procedures:
When a camper does not follow the behavior guidelines, we will take the following action steps as behavior problems progress.
- Staff will redirect the camper to more appropriate behavior.
- If inappropriate behavior continues, the camper will be reminded of behavior guidelines and camp rules, and the camper will be asked to decide on action steps to correct his/her behavior.
- If a child’s behavior still does not meet expectations and is affecting the experience of other campers, he/she will be referred to the Camp Director.
- If inappropriate behavior continues, as a final action step the camper may be dismissed from camp.
