You can apply for a scholarship at any time. We want everyone to attend camp, regardless of financial ability. 

Registration Policies

Grade Groups

Register for summer camp using the grade your camper will be entering in the 2025-2026 school year. (e.g. If your camper is currently in sixth grade, you will register them for a seventh grade camp program.) Please be honest about your child’s age and grade. If you misrepresent your camper’s age and/or grade level, we reserve the right to remove your child from a program. 

 

Please note that we ask campers to attend one summer camp program a year. If your camper is in a grade that could attend two programs, please choose just one. (If you have a 4th grade camper, choose either Kish or Pier 30 for your camper.) Contact our Program Team if you are unsure of which program is best for your camper.

Cabin Mates and Teammates Requests

While we understand that coming to camp together with a friend or two can be more comfortable (especially for younger or first time campers), we also encourage all of our campers to take steps toward making new friends. Your camper is able to request up to two other friends who they would like to be grouped together with in a cabin (overnight camper) or team (day camp). In order to communicate those requests, please list the first and last names of those one to two people on your camper’s online registration. Cabin/teammate requests must be mutual. Although Covenant Harbor strives to accommodate up to two requests for each camper, no guarantees can be made. 

Camp is also a great opportunity to practice making and nurturing new friendships and learning how to enjoy all of their cabin family. With that in mind, please note that groups of four or more will be separated into different cabins or teams. If your camper is part of a larger group attending camp the same week, please make sure that the two people they would like most to be together with are listed first and are mutually requested by the other families. This helps our team pair campers as best as possible together. However, no guarantees can be made and we appreciate your patience and understanding in advance.

Waitlists

We encourage you to place your camper on a waitlist for a desired week of camp if it is full. If you have placed your camper on a waitlist please know that we move through the waitlists according to the time of registration. We will contact you by phone to notify you if your child has the opportunity to move off the waitlist and will follow up by email if you are unable to be reached by phone. Please note that if a spot opens up on the waitlist and the spot is offered to your child, there is a time frame in which you must respond, otherwise we will move on to the next camper on the waitlist. The time frame in which a decision needs to be made will be given when you are contacted. 

Cancellation and Refund Policy

Although we hope that all camper’s who register for summer camp are able to attend, we understand that plans change. If you need to cancel at any time, we must receive a written notification via email sent to camp@covenantharbor.org. We will not take cancellations over the phone.

When emailing to cancel a camper, the email must come from the parent email address on the camper’s registration. 

Please include:

  • The camper’s first and last name 
  • The program and week they are being canceled from
  • Reason for cancellation 

Parents will receive an email requesting that they confirm the camper and program is correct before cancellation can be finalized. Once the parent has confirmed their desire to cancel the camper and program, a confirmation email will be sent with final details for your records.

Refunds are given based on when we receive written notice of cancellation via email and are not guaranteed.

  • More than 30 days before the first day of camp: A full refund except for the non-refundable deposit – $150 for overnight camps or $50 for day camps.
  • 7-30 days before the first day of camp: All but $200 of payments will be refunded for overnight; all but $75 of payments will be refunded for day camp. 
  • Less than 7 days before camp: No refund.
    • If you forfeit your camper’s spot less than 7 days before their program is to start, there will be no refund, even if there is a waitlist for that week.

Medical cancellations at any time (including for COVID-19 exposure or illness or a related concern), will result in a full refund minus a $50 processing fee. 

Special Note: Please make sure you double check the week(s) and program(s) you have registered your campers for. Although we want to make camp possible for everyone, due to high demand and waitlists, Covenant Harbor cannot accommodate all changes if there are mistakes in registering for the wrong week and the preferred program is full. The same applies for our Pier 30 skills selections. If you have any concerns about this please contact our office immediately.
