If you need to cancel a camp registration, there is a chance we may be able to shift your registration to a future date. However, camp sizes are small so this cannot be guaranteed. Cancellations occurring more than two weeks before the start of camp are entitled to a 50% refund, minus a $25 administrative fee. Cancellations occurring less than 2 weeks before the date of camp will not be refunded. Your camp fee can be converted into a tax-deductible contribution to our scholarship fund to keep circus accessible to all.
