International Participants

As an exception to the above terms, international participants receive full refund if they cannot obtain a US visa by the regular registration deadline. It is the participant’s responsibility to contact us in writing before the regular registration deadline. Otherwise, the cancellation is still refund eligible, but a 10% cancellation fee is applicable. We reserve the right to request a denial letter from the US Embassy or any other document as a proof that cancellation is due to visa issues.

 

Changing between Camp Offerings

After registration, you can request your student's camp option to be switched to a different one prior to the registration deadline. Such requests are subject to seat availability and there are no administrative fees, but price differences apply. If the new option is more expensive, then you will be billed for the difference; if the new option is lower, then you will get a refund.
