Tuition Insurance
September 2023
Dear Camp Families,
First of all, let us express our delight that you will be joining us for our 83rd 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 March 1, 2024, you cancel or decide your child cannot attend, you will lose your initial AND secondary deposit payment. If after May 1, 2024 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.
What does it cost?

NATURAL DISASTER EVACUATION COVERAGE DEFINITIONS
Natural Disaster Evacuation means Your extraction from or within the Host Country due to a Natural Disaster Event that results in You being placed in imminent physical danger.
Natural Disaster Event results in such severe and widespread damage that the area of damage is officially declared a disaster area by the appropriate local government authorities of the Host Country, and the area is deemed to be Uninhabitable or dangerous.”
Trip Cancellation coverage is not valid if the program operator/travel supplier/camp does not operate for any reason.
The failure of a program operator/travel supplier/camp to provide bargained for travel arrangements is not a covered reason for Trip Cancellation coverage. Rather, if your program operator/travel supplier/camp cancels your trip, the Trip Cancellation coverage can only reimburse the reissue fee charged by the airline for the tickets.
