August 2025
Dear Camp Families,
We are delighted that you will be joining us for our 86th season. We are working hard to make it the best ever.
We are strongly urging you to consider and purchase Tuition Insurance to protect your investment.
To be clear:
- After January 1, 2026 – If you cancel or decide your child cannot attend, you will lose your initial deposit.
- After March 1, 2026 – You will lose both your initial and secondary deposit.
- After May 1, 2026 – You will forfeit the entire tuition payment.
Friendly Pines Camp must hold firm to this cancellation policy.
To help protect your investment in your child’s summer camp experience, we are offering families the option to purchase camp/travel protection. While tuition becomes non-refundable after certain deadlines, these protection plans provide coverage if you need to cancel for a reason included in the plan.
Below are the options available through TravMark, though you may also explore other products on the market. Please review all plans carefully, as restrictions, exclusions, and limitations apply.
For questions, please contact TravMark directly at 1 (877) 500-1556.

CANCELLATION POLICY
Campers can cancel and receive a refund, but the amount is dependent on the date of cancellation. If you cancel before January 1st, your camper will receive a full refund, less the $100 per camper cancellation fee. As we progress further into the spring, more of the tuition becomes non-refundable and serves as the “cancellation fee” in the event of a cancellation. See the table below to see cancellation fee/non-refundable tuition amount by date.
