Camp Augusta intends to run all sessions this year as full camp experiences upon the completion of arrival day antigen tests. This means that camp will run as “Normal” (pre-pandemic camp) from dinner time on Sunday of arrival, until departure day at the end of the session.

Currently, Camp Augusta is requiring full, two stage FDA approved (including under emergency approval) COVID-19 vaccinations for all eligible campers in 2022. Booster vaccinations may be required. 

Camp Augusta is committed to following CDC, state and local health authorities guidelines and recommendations regarding camper vaccinations for the 2022 season. 

Augusta also works closely with local/national summer camp organisations and the American Camping Association to ensure that we are up to date and in alignment with the summer camp industries best practices regarding COVID-19 vaccinations.

For the 2022 season, Camp Augusta will not be offering refunds for a positive test before arrival to camp or a positive test from any test administered at any time while at camp.

Policy in detail:

A $500 non-refundable deposit per camper is taken at time of registration. Camp Augusta reserves the right to retain the $500 non-refundable deposit.

FULL refunds, including the $500 deposit, are available as long as we are able to fill the space (i.e., Someone from the waiting list accepts and pays for your forfeited spot).

• There is no guarantee a forfeited spot will be filled. The closer it gets to summer sessions beginning, the less likely we are to fill the spot.
• To the degree that we are able, Camp will offer prorated refunds if the cancellation or interruption occurrence is an insured, covered event.

There are NO REFUNDS for uncontrollable acts of nature or large-scale events outside of Camp Augusta’s control and not an insured event, including but not limited to:

• Weather conditions
• Fire and/or air quality
• Earthquake 
• Contagion/outbreak (Including but not limited to  COVID-19)
• Utility failures
• Inaccessibility
• Civil unrest
• Governmental order

Additional refund information:

• Campers who leave due to illness or injury are refunded 50% of their remaining days. 
  • Covid exposure or infection will not be considered ‘illness’ or ‘injury’
• No refund is made for early withdrawal, late arrival, or dismissal due to poor camper behavior.
• Camp may dismiss any camper whose behavior, with or without reasonable accommodation, is deemed by camp, in its sole discretion, to be inimical to the operation of camp. In this instance no refund of tuition will be provided, and camp shall not be responsible for any additional costs of food, travel, or lodging that may result.

There may be an additional fee to cover COVID testing while at camp this year. In order to make sure our families are not overpaying for these tests we will be in touch closer to the summer when we have more information about the costs of each test.
