Financial Policies for SOAR ADHD Camp: Complete Transparency You Can Count on

At SOAR, your family’s peace of mind matters as much as the camp experience. Here’s all the financial information you need — deposit deadlines, refund schedules, spending guidelines, and more — laid out clearly so you can plan with confidence.

Camp Tuition

Tuition Includes Essentials: Room, Meals and Program. No hidden fees here! 

Your camp tuition covers the core experience — from lodging and meals to staff and program infrastructure. It ensures your child has safe accommodations, nutritious meals, trained professionals, specialized programming, and support throughout their course — all included without unexpected add-ons.

  • Deposit: $250 due by May 1st to secure your spot (non-refundable).
  • Additional costs may include travel, special equipment, or personal medical needs.
  • Tuition covers gear, staffing, and general overnight costs.
  • Financial aid is available through a limited scholarship fund.

Camp Financial Policies: Everything You Need to Know About Application Fees, Enrollment Deposits, and Payment Policies

Application Fee: Secure Your Camper’s Spot

A $250 non-refundable deposit is required, except for international courses, to secure your child’s spot once accepted. Payment information must be submitted prior to April 1st, and the deposit can sometimes be applied to another course during the same season.

Payments are accepted via check, e-check, or credit cards (MasterCard, Visa, AmEx, Discover), making the registration process simple and secure.

Enrollment Deposit & Full Payment: Confirming Course

After acceptance, remaining tuition is due by May 1st for domestic courses (April 1st for international).

Payments can be made online or by phone through CampInTouch. Using alternate payment methods like checks is allowed if received before the deadline.

Timely payment confirms your camper’s enrollment and keeps the process smooth and stress-free.

Card on File & Future Billing: Keeping It Simple

Families submit a card on file during application to cover tuition balances, fees, or incidental costs.

All charges are processed securely and parents are notified of payments.

This ensures timely payment, avoids delays in enrollment confirmation, and makes managing camp expenses easy and convenient.

Important Family Guidelines: Tuition Refunds, Gear Responsibility, and Student Funds

Refund
Policy

Upon cancellation of a course for any reason, the tuition balance (excluding the registration deposit) will be refunded on the following schedule:
  • 61+ days – Full refund
  • 31–60 days – 50% refund
  • 16–30 days – 25% refund
  • Within 15 days – No refund

SOAR reserves the right to cancel a course due to insufficient enrollment.

Respecting
Equipment

We take care to ensure that all equipment is used responsibly, and we expect campers to do the same. If SOAR property—such as tents, cabins, rental vans, or other gear—is damaged due to negligence or failure to follow guidelines, the camper may be charged for the cost of repair or replacement. Parents will always be informed if such a situation occurs.

Spending
Money

Funds for camp activities and travel are carefully calculated. Overspending beyond the recommended amount is not the camp’s responsibility. Approximately $15.00 of your child’s spending money will be held aside for a celebratory dinner near the end of their course. Any remaining money may be used by the student for souvenirs or necessary personal items during the course. Unspent money from purchases will be returned during the debrief.
