Summer Camp 2026 Cancellation Policy
We hire staff, secure rentals, and purchase materials months before camp begins, and as the start of camp approaches, it becomes more difficult to adjust for cancellations. Incremental fees account for the increasing impact of late cancellations on our ability to manage costs and deliver quality programs.
There will be no refund for days missed during a camp session for any reason. In the unusual circumstance where a camper’s conduct results in their dismissal from camp, no credit or refund will be provided for missed days and/or sessions.
Cancellations before the camp season: refer to our Cancellation Fee Guide below.
Adding Sessions: Space permitting, sessions can be added at the fee in effect at the time of the addition.
Changing Sessions: Space permitting, sessions may be swapped at any time. If changing to a longer or shorter session (e.g. 9-day to 10-day), the difference in registration fees will be charged or a credit applied accordingly. Credits must be used before the end of the following camp season (next summer).
Additional Notes: Registrations and fees are not transferable outside the immediate family. The STEAM Project reserves the right to change or update our policies and/or programs at any time.

Can I join partway through a semester?
For INVENTOR series, Coding & Robotics, and Art Tech courses, students are able to join partway through the season, as there will be new skills and projects featured throughout the course. Partial enrollments will have pro-rated course fees.
For other courses (Tiny Homes, Woodworking, Battle Bots), students will not be able to join partway through a season due to the progression of the skills learned. We recommend joining our mailing list to be kept up to date on when our new season begins.
