  • Delivering the MYSS Camp experience requires Camp to incur numerous irreversible spending decisions made in advance.

    The Camp makes these irreversible spending decisions based on the number of Campers enrolled and in reliance on each Camper maintaining (i.e., not canceling) their enrollment and not leaving Camp early. Moreover, holding a space for a Camper may result in turning away other Campers.

    For these reasons, parents acknowledge and agree to the following policy that NO refund will be given.
