Refund Policy

White Memorial Camp Refund Policy.

---WMC SPONSORED CAMPS---
Camp Registration Fees:
We require our guests to pay a deposit in order to reserve their space for a camp or event session. Despite pre-determined exceptions, all guests pay a minimum of a $50 deposit to secure their spot. Remaining fees are to be paid prior to the first day of the event.

The minimum amount of a $50 deposit is non-refundable. However, if you are unable to attend the event or camp you signed up for, this deposit may be transferred to another camp session so long as you notify us before your event.

Transfers are valid for one year after the original event you intended to attend or 365 days. Funds can only be transferred to camps or events hosted or partnered by White Memorial Camp.

In the event that you need to cancel or reschedule your registration or reservation, please notify White Memorial Camp by e-mailing office@whitememorialcamp.com or calling the camp office at 620-767-5165.

Deposit or registration fee transfer is not valid if you do not contact White Memorial Camp prior to your scheduled camp or event.

In the event of a "no-show" where you do not attend the event you paid and signed up for without contacting us in advance, then any fees you've paid are non-refundable and cannot be transferred.

Scholarships and Sponsorships:
If you were granted a partial or full scholarship, or were sponsored by an individual or organization, in the event of a cancellation or no-show, the client will be removed from that year's scholarship eligibility and the funds may be granted to another applicant. Scholarships are non-transferable. Each applicant must be awarded and/or apply for funding and must be approved and awarded such funding in advance.

Leaving Camp Early:
Whether it be due to sickness, behavior issues threatening the safety of themselves or other guests, family emergency or any other incident not directly caused by WMC, its staff, or anyone involved with our program, then any participant leaving camp early will not be refunded. In some instances, partial funds may be transferred to future camps as credit.

T-shirts, Camp Store and Online Purchases:
Funds submitted online, via mail or in person to be placed in Camp Store will be monitored by camp staff and used as credit. After purchases are made during the event, any funds remaining in the guest's "camp store funds" will be returned to the payer. Should the change amount exceed $25, WMC may, for the security of funds, mail a refund check, or return the remaining amount to credit card rather than hand cash back. WMC will do their best to notify guests in advance that they will not receive cash back should that be the case. All leftover camp store funds will be refunded.

Online purchase refunds will be handled and funds returned to the credit card that placed the order. Proof of wrong or damaged items will be required for a refund. If it's a sizing issue, merchandise can be returned and credit applied to the correct or future orders.

T-Shirt refunds are available if, upon arrival, WMC does not have the correct shirt size available and are unable to provide an alternative shirt design acceptable by the purchaser. You may also choose to wait and have WMC order the correct size. Otherwise, T-shirt sales are final.

(2) As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of commencement of a Force Majeure Event, and within a reasonable time following the date of termination of a Force Majeure Event, any Party invoking it shall submit to the other Party reasonable proof of the nature of the Force Majeure Event and of its effect upon the performance of the Party's obligations under this Agreement.
(3) WMC shall, and shall procure that its Subcontractors shall, at all times take all reasonable steps within their respective powers and consistent with Good Operating Practices (but without incurring unreasonable additional costs) to: (a) prevent Force Majeure Events affecting the performance of the Company's obligations under this Agreement; (b) mitigate the effect of any Force Majeure Event; and (c) comply with its obligations under this Agreement. The Parties shall consult together in relation to the above matters following the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event.
