Registration Policy: Campers must enroll for at least two consecutive weeks. Each camper’s registration requires a $500 initial tuition payment. At the time of registration, $200 of this payment becomes non-refundable as a registration fee. We require a second tuition payment of $1000 per child on February 1, 2023 The final tuition payment is due on April 1, 2023. Weeks must be finalized by February 1, 2023 and all tuition payments made prior to and on or after that date are non-refundable, regardless of dropouts or reductions in weeks prior to or during the camp season. Days missed due to injury, illness or any other reason may not be “made up” and will not result in a credit or refund. In case of severe weather, Camp may be cancelled, as it was for one day in 2020 for Tropical Storm Isaias. One “snow day” has been built into our tuition structure.
We will gladly set up a payment plan with you if you are paying by EFT/echeck or credit card; all payments must be made by April 1, 2023.
Each camper’s tuition includes either bus transportation to camp OR a place in our extended day program at camp. There is an additional fee if your family wants to use bus transportation AND extended day daily. For 3 and 4 Year Old Three-Quarter Day program, transportation to camp is included in tuition; with a sufficient number of Three-Quarter Day campers in a town, we will provide afternoon bus service at 2:00 pm. Otherwise, a parent or care provider must pick up these campers at 2:00 pm
Policies
Visiting Camp: No parent visits or tours for prospective families during the 2023 season. We will post photos and videos from Camp on the Camp Riverbend app for parents to enjoy. Parents can find instructions on how to download and use the app on the Parent Portal.
Signing Out Campers: No one may ever take a camper out of camp without signing that child out at the Camp Office. Any adult picking up a camper must know the security password that was given to us at the time of the child’s registration. Password changes can only be made in writing. The latest a camper can be picked up before dismissal is 3:00 pm.
Medical Forms: The New Jersey State Youth Camp Safety Act and the American Camp Association require every camper to have a medical form signed by a physician. Medical forms for the 2023 season are due to camp by June 1, 2023. Your child does not need a doctor’s exam just for this purpose. The doctor can fill out our form based on any physical any time after June 1, 2022. A parent/guardian must authorize Camp Riverbend to treat your child if he or she is sick or injured at Camp.
Tipping: Camp Riverbend has a no-tipping policy for all camp staff.
Birthdays during Camp: No food from home is allowed for camper birthdays, but you can choose to send in goody bags with non-edible items.
Group Lists: Group lists are sent to the parents of children in each group, via email after the first week of camp. We include the email address of the parent listed as “primary” on the camper’s application. If you don’t want your email given out, you must notify us by June 1.
