[quote=Anonymous]I think it depends on whether it's the type of camp where they had a set number of places and turned people away or not. If so, I can't see how you could demand a refund when they effectively denied another paying child a place and had no idea of knowing (especially since apparently you had no idea of knowing) that he would misbehave so badly that they'd have to kick him out.

Even if it's not the type of place where they had to decline other kids a place, if they had to make decisions on expenditures (e.g. extra staff member, extra food, more materials, paying for places at external events) then they'd also have a right to keep that money.

In short, you could ask, but I'd imagine they'd have the standard legal language in the contract you signed that you aren't entitled to a refund, plus I don't think they'd be even morally obligated to give one under the circumstances above.

If it's a for-profit camp then you may be able to ask for a partial discount though, especially if it's a genuine case where you need to money reimbursed so you can afford alternate care. But I guess it would also depend on what type of issues your son caused... if the camp is still dealing with the fallout (e.g. he hurt another child and now the camp needs to deal with that other child and their parents) then it's probably less likely that they'd go over and above to reimburse you beyond what you're legally entitled to.[/quote]
