Summer Camp Refund Policy

Please register carefully. Woodcock does not issue refunds.

​

If you decide not to come to camp and the spot can be filled by someone on our waitlist we will refund 75% of your fee. If the spot is not filled by someone on the waitlist no refund will be granted. If your plans have changed and you would like to switch sessions, there is a $50 change fee, provided we are able to accommodate your request. No changes or refunds can be made within two weeks of your camp week start date. We do not offer credits for programs/events

​

In the event we must close due to causes beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to: extreme weather (high heat index, thunderstorms, torrential rain, etc.), power outages, fire, pandemics, epidemics, or government action, refunds will not be issued.

​

As a small non-profit organization, cancellations and changes make it challenging for us to manage our enrollments and plan for camp. We appreciate your understanding. All policies are subject to change.

Additional Summer Camp Policies

Updated January 26, 2023​

​​

​​

  • Woodcock Nature Center follows COVID guidance from the Wilton Health Department, the Connecticut Department of Public Health and Office of Early Childhood, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. If the program participant has been exposed to COVID through other settings (school, other programs, other social events) and is in quarantine, they are not permitted to attend our programs until the mandated quarantine period is complete.  If the participant chooses to test out of quarantine (as described on the CDC's website), you must provide the results of a negative test prior to returning to our onsite program. The exact timing of the test and type of allowable test is also described on the CDC website.  If the program participant tests positive for COVID please do not attend any Woodcock programs. Notify us at wnc@woodcocknaturecenter.org immediately the program participant tests positive after attending one of our programs. If there is a potential COVID-exposure at Woodcock you will be notified as soon as possible via email. Woodcock is required to notify the Wilton Health Department of all COVID cases and provide the names of all potentially exposed individuals. Further communication related to any quarantine periods or testing will be directed by the Health Department.

​​
