Tuition Insurance
September 2024
Dear Camp Families,
First of all, let us express our delight that you will be joining us for our 84thd 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.
We are going to express this in pretty stark language. If after January 1, 2025, you cancel or decide your child cannot attend, you will lose your initial deposit. If after March 1, 2025, you cancel or decide your child cannot attend, you will lose your initial AND secondary deposit payment. If after May 1, 2025 you cancel or decide your child can not attend, you will forfeit their entire tuition payment. Friendly Pines Camp will need to hold firm to this cancellation policy.
In order to help protect your investment in your child’s summer camp experience, we are availing a way for families to purchase camp/travel protection. Friendly Pines Camp tuition becomes non-refundable after certain deadlines, but these protection plans provide a variety of levels of coverage should you need to cancel your enrollment for a reason covered by the plan purchased. Below are your options, though there may be other products on the market worth considering. In all cases, it is important to review all plans carefully as there are certain restrictions, exclusions and limitations that apply to all insurance coverages.
Please direct ALL questions directly to TravMark 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.
