Risk Management Policy:
In the event that a child is not ready to fully participate in Ramblin’ Adventure Club and in turn puts the group at risk via needing excessive attention, we require the child to take one to four quarters off from adventuring and try again when they are ready. (Examples include but are not limited to: daily bathroom mishaps, wandering away from the group, unstable balance and stability, unable to dress and undress into clothing by themselves, unable to adventure without a parent, etc.)
Registration and Payments Policy:
All payments and registration forms must be received by our office prior to your first trip. Enrollment is officially complete when registration and payment have been received. Your spot is secure only after we have received your payment.
An invoice for your child's camp tuition will be sent to you within one week of submitting enrollment. Summer Camp tuition for Early Bird registration is due by Sunday, March 15th, after which unpaid spots will go to the first child on the wait list for any unpaid weeks.
Invoices for families enrolling after the March 15th Early Bird deadline are due within one week of receipt. Or, for families enrolling in a camp spot that is less than 72 hours to start, invoices are due before your child's first day of camp.
Ramblin' Adventure Club does not accept cash or check payments. All payments must be paid by ACH electronic transfer or credit/debit card through the invoice you receive by email from Square.
Child Abuse Prevention Policy:
All children must be able to change in and out of shorts, pants and underwear on their own and wipe themselves after they poop while at Ramblin’. We are a school age program and follow strict child abuse prevention practices; Ramblin’ leaders are not allowed to wipe your child after they poop. Ramblin’ leaders can help your child change out of shoes, socks, jackets and shirts only. They many not assist with changing in and out of pants, shorts, swim bottoms or underwear. Children who are unable to wipe themselves will be sent home and may make up days missed in the future after they have become confident wiping on their own.
Refund Policy:
The initial $75 ($45 registration fee plus $30 first week deposit) is non-refundable. Refunds for tuition will be given to customers canceling their enrollment at least 4 weeks before their child's first day of summer camp, minus an additional $30/week for each week beyond the first week of camp. For example, an Early Bird customer cancelling any week of camp within the grace period would be refunded $570 of their original $600. For cancellations outside of the 4-week grace period, refer to the
Attendance Policy below.

End of day pick-ups are between 3:30-4:00pm. Any pick-up after 4:00pm, is considered a late pick-up and will be assessed the $15 late pick-up fee.

Rambler Conduct Policy:
If we notice a child playing rough or crossing boundaries we sit with them and talk about how to stay safe. If challenging behavior continues or a child is hurt we speak with the adults and perhaps share an incident report to record and communicate what we are working on.
