Boys' Basketball Camp / Frequently Asked Questions... |
| |
| |
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 3.5% processing fee, which we round to the nearest 25-cent increment. |

Q. Why do I have to pay a 3.5% 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 order to keep our costs low, prior to 2007 our camp participants were only able to register by mail. For the past 2 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 3.5% processing fee, rounded to the nearest 25-cent increment)... 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. Do you offer discounts and/or scholarships? |
A. Yes. We offer many different types of discounts, as detailed in the list which follows. Note: discounted tuition applicants must register by mail and pay by check (we regret that we cannot currently process discounted registrations online). |
| • |
Sibling discounts: 10% off the tuition for the 2nd through 9th child from one family, after the 1st child's tuition is paid-in-full. |
| • |
Group discounts: 20% off all application fees when 10+ children sign-up from the same team, school, and/or family (applications must be sent in together to qualify). |
| • |
Scholarships: We also offer a limited number of reduced-tuition scholarships for families with financial need. Scholarship applicants must complete and submit the scholarship application (.PDF file) prior to May 16, 2008. |

Q. Somone told me that I can purchase merchandise items from previous camp years at a discounted rate. How do I do this? |
A. It's true! We have a limited number of T-shirts, basketballs, etc. available from previous camp years, and all items have been marked down to a hugely-discounted 50% off rate (or more!). Campers signing up for one of our 2008 camp sessions can pre-order these merchandise items, and will then pick-up the items when they check-in on the first day of camp. Or, if you prefer to receive these items in the mail right now, you can do so for an additional shipping charge. To learn more about purchasing discounted merchandise items, click here. |

| |
Q. What should my child bring to camp? |
A. Upon registering for camp, you will receive an application confirmation packet (in .PDF format) by e-mail. This will contain a complete list of the items your child should bring to camp, specific to each individual camp/program. |

| |
Q. What are the drop-off / pick-up times and locations for the Future Hornet Camp and/or the Junior Hornet Camp? |
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 boys' 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 the Future Hornet Half-Day Camp, 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 the Junior Hornet Full-Day Camp, 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. |
