- Cancellation Deadlines:
- Full Refund (Minus Fees): Cancellations made by a specified deadline (often 4–6 weeks before the session) may receive a refund minus a non-refundable deposit or processing fee (e.g., $50–$100).
- Partial Refund/Credit: Cancellations after the deadline but 2–4 weeks before camp might receive a partial refund or camp credit.
- No Refund (Credit Only): Cancellations within 14 days of the start date often qualify only for camp credit, not cash refunds.
- Non-Refundable Deposit:
- A deposit (often required at registration) is typically non-refundable, even if cancelling early.
- Camp-Initiated Cancellations:
- If Galileo cancels a session (e.g., low enrollment, unforeseen events), families usually receive a full refund or option to transfer to another session.
- Exceptions for Emergencies:
- Medical/family emergencies (with documentation) may warrant credit or deferred enrollment. Policies for COVID-19 or illness vary; some camps offer flexible credit options.
- Transfers:
- Requests to switch sessions/locations may be accommodated, sometimes with a fee, subject to availability.
- Payment Schedules:
- Ensure adherence to payment deadlines; late payments could affect eligibility for refunds.
Key Recommendation:
Check Galileo’s official website or contact their support team for the most accurate, up-to-date policy. Look for terms like:
- Specific refund tiers and deadlines.
- Credit validity (e.g., usable for future summers).
- Special policies for COVID-19 or other disruptions.
Example summary from past years (hypothetical):
“Cancel by May 1: Full refund minus $75 fee. Cancel May 2–31: 50% refund. After June 1: No refund, but 75% credit for next year. Medical emergencies require documentation for credit.”
Always confirm details directly, as policies can evolve.
