What if I need to cancel or change my summer camp reservation?Changes to summer camp reservations can be made up to 3 weeks in advance of the camp start. You can view the Discovery World reservation policy on page 3 of this brochure. Please note changes to your camp reservation may incur a $25 rescheduling fee or a $75 cancellation fee.

Is my child permitted to bring a cell phone or other electronic device to camp?We ask that all cell phones and electronic devices be turned off and stored away during camp hours, including lunch and recess times. If a camper is using an electronic device during camp hours, a Summer Camp Staff member will confiscate the device until the end of the day.

What if I need to drop off my child late or pick up my child early from camp?We understand that your family has a busy schedule. We ask that you notify the Summer Camp Staff by phone, e-mail, or in person of the change in timing. When you drop your child off late, please accompany your child into the building and wait with them until they get checked in.

Please Note: We are unable to accommodate any pick-ups between 3:45pm and 4:30pm. If you wish to pick up your child in the afternoon, you must do so by 3:45pm or

wait until the check-out procedure begins at 4:30pm.
