What do you mean by misbehavior? Were there issues at camp in prior years (you say fine at camp, what does that mean?)

You won't get a refund, I'm sorry. Misbehavior is not grounds for a full refund. Can you imagine if it was? No camps would be in business.

I need the money for all the other treatments I need to get him to figure out why this happened, also to pay a sitter - FMLA is not possible this week at Quarter end.

Anyone know if camps usually reimburse if they kick a kid out for misbehavior?


Please don’t pawn your kid off on an innocent sitter.

I'm sorry to hear this. I would call and ask the director.

They can't deny you FMLA just because it comes at an inconvenient time. Losing camp coverage is not a valid reason, but the underlying medical condition may be.

Really? Without knowing any context, you jump to "sue the bastards!"?

This is why people hate lawyers.


what? there's a contract that was very likely breached. do you think people should just give away money to corporations?


Oh, I see - you've got additional information that the rest of us don't have. Excellent. What was the breach?

There's no way to know this.

Op, give context to disability and infraction. There might be a chance if the two are linked.

NP. The county camps that my kids go to have a form that specifies when refunds are given for medical emergencies. It also states that children can be dismissed. IOW, no refunds when a child is dismissed.

In OP's shoes, I would ask for a refund but not expect one. Or sue for one.

I think you can ask but I wouldn't hold my breath. Most of the camps I'm my kids up for state that there are no refunds for campers expelled for inappropriate behavior.

I am sure there is something in the agreement you signed that covers this.

Did you sign any paperwork that might state the camp's policy on this?

I would definitely ask for a refund. And if they don't give it, do you have a lawyer friend who could write a demand letter, possibly citing the ADA ? Look at https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/popular-after-school-program-reaches-agreement-with-justice-department/2017/10/11/18f8250a-adec-11e7-a908-a3470754bbb9_story.html?utm_term=.7c02b9771146 to see a family that got their money back after an afterschool program expelled their kid.

We are at a new low. It is so sad and difficult. We have always been fine at camp.
