2024 Registration is Open!
Enrollment Policies
Cancellation Policy
A non-refundable processing fee of $100 will be retained if you have to cancel your child’s reservation, and do so prior to March 15. For reservations cancelled after March 15 and until one month before the first day of camp, we will refund 75% of your tuition amount. There will be no refunds for reservations cancelled within one month of the first day of camp, except at the discretion of a camp director. This cancellation policy will be waived for the 2023 camp season if a family needs to cancel because the camper or a household member contracted Covid-19.
Covid-19 Safety and Vaccination
We strongly recommend that all campers arrive up-to-date on all CDC recommended vaccinations, including the Covid-19 vaccine and booster.
Campers who are not up-to-date or have not received all recommended vaccines, including the Covid-19 vaccine, may still attend.
HP may change these policies if an infectious disease becomes more prevalent in our community or camper population, if more dangerous Covid-19 variants emerge, or based on advice from medical professionals.
Covid-19 testing may be required.
Our full infectious disease management plan for 2024 will be issued in February and emailed to all registrants.
Enrollment Goals
The word is out about the great things that happen at Hosmer Point, and our sessions have filled earlier each year. Our goals for registrations are:
Maintain our camp community by enabling campers to return to the same session each year, if desired
Keep camp accessible to families of all incomes and backgrounds
To meet these goals we have tiered registration windows which prioritize campers returning to the same session. Registration opens to the public November 1.
Deposits
2023 families must confirm their registration for 2024 with a deposit of 25% or set up a payment plan by October 2nd. We will not hold spots after October 2nd without a deposit or payment plan on file. Families registering new campers must pay a 25% deposit or set up a payment plan when registering. For campers who enroll after March 15, tuition in full or a payment plan is required with registration.
Tuition Payments
Tuition balances are due by March 15, unless an automated payment plan for the full tuition amount is set up in advance. If registering after March 15, tuition in full or a payment plan is due with registration. Payment plans must be completed by the first day of camp. We ask for this commitment in order to guarantee your child's place. If we do not receive payment, or hear from you to let us know when to expect payment, we will assume that your plans have changed. We will cancel your camp reservation and register the first child on the waiting list.
Waiting List Policy
When all openings have been filled in a given camp or sliding scale price bracket, applicants' names are placed on separate lists by age, cabin preference, and session. Families on the wait list will be contacted as spaces in the session become available.
Included in the Fee
Tuition fees cover all meals, lodging, and programming. There are no additional fees.
Privacy Policy
Hosmer Point will not knowingly share your address, contact, social media account information, health, financial, or other personal information with third parties or persons not employed with or subcontracted by Hosmer Point or our parent organization, Concrete Foundation, Inc. without your express written or verbal consent (or the consent of a parent or guardian if you are a minor).
Hosmer Point employees have access to personal information on a need-to-know basis only.
Registration FAQs
I signed up! What happens next?
You should receive a confirmation e-mail with next steps. If you do not receive a confirmation email, please get in touch with us, as this email contains important information and it is likely that your registration did not go through.
The session I want is full. Now what?
We suggest registering for the wait list for that session. We are frequently able to enroll campers from our wait lists, and wait listed campers are given priority when registering for the next season. To sign up for a wait list, make an account using the “register” link above, add your child, choose the wait lists for the sessions of your choice, then “check out” (there is no charge to be added to wait lists, but you still need to check out!) We recommend adding your camper to as many wait lists as will fit your schedule to increase your chances of getting a spot.
How much does camp cost? Do you offer any discounts or scholarships?
Tuition at Hosmer Point is on a sliding scale. We ask each family to contribute what they can, so that we can stretch our resources as far as possible and give every child a chance to come to HP. See the Sliding Scale Tuition page for more information.
My camper is wait listed. Now what?
We will contact you if a space opens up! Generally, we email families about openings and give them two days to respond before moving to the next family on the wait list. If we have a last minute opening, we may call or use a shorter timeline instead. Feel free to contact our office if you would like to know where your camper is on the wait list. However, because campers are usually on more than one list, and because families change plans without notifying us, wait list position is not a good indicator of your chance of getting a spot.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! You can set up a plan when you check out, or later on from your Parent Portal account.
My camper is transgender, non-binary, or does not identify with the gender they were assigned at birth. How should they register?
Because our accommodations are divided into boy’s/non-binary and girl’s/non-binary cabins, your camper should register for the cabin section in which they will feel most comfortable. Please feel free to get in touch with our staff to discuss how we can meet your camper's specific needs.
