If you need to cancel:

Refunds can only be issued if a cancellation request is made at least 10 business days (excluding holidays) prior to the start of camp. All refunds are subject to a 10% service fee. There will be no refunds provided once camps have begun. In the event that your child or a member of your household is ill, and your child is thus unable to attend camp, please contact the Extension office to discuss your options.

One-time transfers are not subject to a service fee. Subsequent transfers will be charged the 10% service fee. If a student wishes to transfer from one camp to another, the following requirements apply:

• Only one transfer can be made.

• Transfer must be requested no fewer than 10 days prior to the first day of the camp they were originally registered for, or the one they wish to transfer to, whichever comes first.

• The camp they want to transfer to must have available space.

• The camper must meet the age requirements of the camp they wish to transfer into.

• You may not transfer one camper's registration to another camper.

If Extension cancels a camp:

We make every effort to avoid cancelling camps! We know summer is a busy time, and you’ve built your schedule around your child’s experience this summer. However, Cabrillo Extension reserves the right to cancel camps due to low enrollment or other unavoidable circumstances. In the event of a camp cancellation, families will be notified as soon as possible and will receive a full refund or credit to their account. We will also work with families to find an alternate camp that serves their needs, and complete a transfer with no service fees.

Check in for camps will begin at the door to the classroom no earlier than 10 minutes prior to the published start time of camp, and closes at the start of camp. Please ensure you arrive each day to allow time for check-in. Sign out will also occur at the door to the classroom.

Please plan extra time on the first day of camp for checking your camper in. We will review any special information about your camper with you, and confirm who is permitted to pick your camper up at the end of the day.

At check in: Children will be checked in each day by a TA or instructor. Please take time to be sure your camper has been checked in each day.

At sign out: Parents/guardians or others designated to pick up a child must present a valid photo ID at check-out every day. Children will only be released to individuals authorized by a parent/guardian at registration. If you need to adjust the list of authorized pick up individuals, please contact the Extension office or complete an Additional Pick-Up Authorization on the first day of camp.

For students age 12 and older, parents/guardians may complete a Youth Self-Sign-Out Authorization on the first day of the camp. This authorization gives permission to sign themselves out daily at the conclusion of each camp date. Students with this authorization will be dismissed at the conclusion of camp each day. Students younger than 12 must be dropped off and picked up daily.

To ensure the safety of all students and respect the contributions and time of our instructors, we ask that parents do not drop off their children more than 10 minutes prior to the posted start time of the camp. We also ask that parents pick up their children promptly at the end of camp. Late fees will be charged to the payment method used for original registration beginning at 15 minutes after the end time of the camp, at the rate of $25 per 15 minutes.

When bringing children to Cabrillo for camps please make time to find parking in a “student” space close to your child’s camp location, and to pay for a daily permit. Permits are available at permit dispensers in each parking lot and structure. Daily permits are $4 a day, and only credit/debit cards are accepted.

Summer semester permits are available for $48.00. They may be purchased online through Cabrillo Extension, and may be picked up in the Extension office beginning June 2nd. This permit will allow you to park in “student” spaces from June 2 to August 1.

Cabrillo College does not provide “FREE” parking. All vehicles parked on Cabrillo College property are required to properly display a valid Cabrillo College parking permit. Parking is enforced on campus 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Cabrillo College District Parking Regulations and the California Vehicle Code are enforced at all times. Vehicles not properly parked, or not in compliance with Cabrillo College District Parking Regulations or the California Vehicle Code, are subject to fines, towing, or impoundment.

Food = Mood! We require that parents/guardians provide all snacks, meals, and water/beverages for your child to enjoy during the camp. Refrigeration is not available, so please send all items in a lunch bag or small cooler labeled with your child’s name. Meals should be ready-to-serve; no heating required. Please also send your child with a reusable water bottle labeled with their name.

Food is not available on campus, including from vending machines.

Please note that camps held in computer labs do not allow any food or drink in the lab, so campers enjoys snacks during breaks.

Is your child signed up for a morning and afternoon camp? Register for Lunch Bunch! Campers have the chance to just chill for a bit after a busy morning, and before a busy afternoon! They can watch a kid-friendly movie, read their favorite book, draw, make new friends, and eat their lunch in a safe, supervised environment. Extension camp staff escort campers from their morning camp to Lunch Bunch, then from Lunch Bunch to their afternoon camp.

Campers need to bring their own lunch and a drink.

Please note you must register your camper for Lunch Bunch separately from camp registrations! The fee is $30 for one week of Lunch Bunch and each session is Monday through Friday, 12 noon to 1:30 pm. Register online, or over the phone.

Lunch Bunch is FREE IF… your child is registered for a morning camp that ends at noon, and an afternoon camp that begins at 1:30 pm, both during the same week. Call the Extension office and we’ll get you registered at no charge.

Online registration for Lunch Bunch ends on the Wednesday prior to the start date. If you want to register on the Thursday or Friday immediately preceding the start date, please call our office at 831-479-6331, and we’d be happy to get you registered over the phone

Cell phones or hand held games may not be used during camps. If a camper has their phone with them during camp they are required to keep it turned off, and stored in a backpack, lunch bag, or other secure place.

While we always strive to serve as many campers as possible, registration for camps is on a first-come, first-served basis, and sometimes camps fill. In that case, we highly encourage you to add your child(ren) to any camps you are interested in attending. If space becomes available, you will be notified via phone and email. We are sometimes able to add additional sessions of popular camps, so adding your child to the waitlist is the best way to ensure you get the first notification should a new camp become available, as well as in the event that someone drops out of a camp.

Note that, once a week of camp begins, we cannot accept any new campers in that week even if space becomes available.

Please be sure that you review the Essential Eligibility Requirements and Camper Code of Conduct with your camper before attending camps.

Please be sure you have notified us of any behavioral or educational challenges, or medical conditions we need to be aware of. The more we know about your camper the better! You will be asked several questions at registration about this. The information we gather at registration will be shared with the camp lead and TA to be sure they have the most up to date information about campers.

Please be sure that you review the Essential Eligibility Requirements and Camper Code of Conduct with your camper before attending camps.

Campers must attend the first day of camp. This is when the camper Code of Conduct is reviewed, the plan for the week of camp is discussed, and relationships between campers are developed. Attending the first day of camp is an essential part of a camper's comfort and success in camp. Each day they learn skills that they will build on in the following days.

If your camper needs to miss any time during camp after the first day, please notify the Extension office in advance. Even if it is unexpected, and you need to pick your camper up early, please call the Extension office to let us know.
