Frequently Asked Questions... |

| |
Q. Is there a registration deadline? Someone told me I that I have to register by May 31. Is this true? |
A. No, we will not be cutting off our registrations on May 31; that is simply the last date on which we will offer our early-enrollment ("early-bird") discounted pricing of 10% off. On June 1, 2010, our tuition prices will go back up to the regular, non-discounted price.# We will continue to accept applications for all of our basketball camps throughout the month of June (and potentially in July, for camps in July), dependent upon our staffing availability. We will always ensure that we maintain our low coach-to-camper ratios, and will never compromise that in order to accommodate additional campers if we feel that we will be understaffed by doing so. As such, we will close enrollment if we cannot continue to hire the best, most qualified, and most enthusiastic coaches available to accommodate any additional campers who wish to participate. |

Q. Can I pay my child's camp tuition with a credit card? |
A. Yes. We offer our camp participants the option of paying by check, by credit card, or even through use of their online PayPal account. Please note: credit card and PayPal payments require an additional processing fee of 2.5% + $0.99 per camper. Please refer to the next question for more information. |

Q. Why do I have to pay a processing fee to enroll online with a credit card? |
A. Kalamazoo Sports Camps is committed to keeping our tuition rates as low as possible, so that our camps are accessible to as many families as possible. In the past, in order to keep our costs low, our camp participants were only able to register by mail. For the past few camp seasons, however, Kalamazoo Sports Camps has chosen to give our campers' families the option of online registration as a convenience. Doing so, however, threatened to force us to raise our camp tuition rates in order to offer credit card processing. Instead, we decided to offer this service as a convenience to those who don't mind a slightly higher tuition rate (the processing fee of 2.5% + $0.99 per camper)... but we didn't want to pass along these higher costs to those families who do not plan on using this new service. Every summer when planning our camp programs, we will always re-evaluate our online registration option and potentially make changes in order to meet our campers' needs. |

Q. What are the drop-off / pick-up times and locations for the 2010 Basketball Camps? |
A. Parents may drop-off their camper each day 15 minutes prior to the beginning of each camp session (i.e. 8:45am for a 9:00am camp start-time, etc.). Parents must also make plans to pick-up their child no later than 15 minutes after the end of each camp session (i.e. no later than 4:15pm for a camp session that ends at 4:00pm, etc.). Drop-off and pick-up will take place at Anderson Athletic Center. |

Q. What is the camp cancellation policy? |
A. All of our basketball camps have a $25 non-refundable processing fee. Any balance above and beyond the first $25 (not including any credit-card processing fees) is refundable as follows: |
| • |
For all half-day and/or evening camps, the entire tuition (minus the $25 processing fee) is fully-refundable as long as cancellation occurs at least seven (7) calendar days prior to the first day of camp. If cancellation occurs less than seven (7) calendar days before the first day of camp, a refund equal to 50% of the remaining tuition paid will be issued. In the case of a "no-show" (i.e. cancellation occurs after the beginning of camp), no refund will be issued. |
| • |
For all full-day camps (during which we pre-pay for campers' meals), the entire tuition (minus the $25 processing fee) is fully-refundable as long as cancellation occurs at least fourteen (14) calendar days prior to the first day of camp. If cancellation occurs less than fourteen (14) calendar days before the first day of camp, a refund equal to 50% of the remaining tuition paid will be issued. In the case of a "no-show" (i.e. cancellation occurs after the beginning of camp), no refund will be issued. |
