Staff members are on site 30 minutes before camp begins and 15 minutes after camp concludes. Failure to pick up your camper on time will result in a supervisory charge of $15 per hour.

Camp staff is trained to model and enforce age-appropriate behavior guidelines and reflective communication. We encourage self-control, self-direction, responsibility and cooperation. We will do our best to provide behavioral support to any camper demonstrating a need or disrupting a camp. Open communication between guardians and camp is considered key in terms of effective discipline.

If the child’s behavior is extremely disruptive and/or harmful to themselves or others, a parent may be asked to remove the child from camp for the remainder of the day. The camp reserves the right, upon notification of parents, to dismiss any camper during any session for improper conduct, language, dress or attitude which, in the judgment of the summer camp administrative and counseling staff, is detrimental to the well-being of other campers or smooth operation of the camp. If, in the judgment of the administrative or counseling staff, your child's conduct violates the camp policies, they may be dismissed without refund of fees and/or referred to appropriate authorities.

Camp images help us to tell the story of our organization and our mission. They may be used for non-commercial purposes only, such as print publications, UW-Green Bay websites, e-communications, presentations and documents about UW-Green Bay for admission, recruitment, fundraising or institutional purposes. We appreciate your cooperation and consent in allowing us to photograph your child for use in various mediums without any personal identifiers. You have our assurance that these images will be used only for official purposes and with the respect and consideration to which you are entitled.

Cancellations can be made up to 2 weeks prior to the start of camp. A $25 administrative fee is charged for all cancellations, the remainder will be refunded to you. No cancellations or refunds are available with less than two weeks' notice. If camper must cancel for medical reasons, including COVID-19, a prorated credit can be provided in camper's account in CampDoc.

To cancel, please email camps@uwgb.edu and we will work with the specific camp director to support your cancellation.

In the event a camper requests to switch camp sessions, an additional $25 processing fee will be applied. We reserve the right to cancel any camp due to low enrollment; in such a case, all fees paid will be refunded or the camper can choose to apply fees to a different camp/class in the same year. Overpayments of less than $10 will not be refunded.
