Summer BLAST Camp Payments and Policies

Billing Policy

Families who receive financial aid must use their discount code when registering. Families will receive a discount code based on their 2022-2023 financial aid award. Families who are newly applying for aid for 2023-2024 should wait until their 2023-2024 financial aid award is set and they've received their discount code before registering.

Registrations prior to May 1: Upon registration, families will be charged a $25 non-refundable registration fee per week of camp. Your remaining balance will be automatically charged in two installments on May 1, 2023, and June 1, 2023.

Registrations after May 1: Upon registration, families will be charged 50% of the registration total. The remaining balance will be automatically charged on June 1, 2023.

After June 1: The full balance of the registration is due.

Cancellation Policy

To cancel your camp registration, you may send a request through your 6crickets account.

Through April 30: You may cancel your summer camp registration for a full refund, less a $25 per week registration fee. You will not be charged a fee if you opt to change your registration to another camp week if space permits.

From May 1 to May 31: You will be responsible for 50% of the summer camp registration cost for any cancelled weeks.

After June 1: No refund for cancellations after June 1, but your payment can be applied to other weeks of camp if space permits.

Camp Closure due to COVID-19 or other Health & Safety Concerns: If Giddens School cancels camp for COVID-19 or other Health & Safety concerns, families will be refunded a prorated amount for any days their student does not have access to camp.

Cancellations due to student illness: If a student is unable to attend camp due to illness a refund will not be provided.

Financial Aid

Families who are enrolled at Giddens School and receive financial aid for the 22-23 school year will receive this same percentage of aid for their summer camp registration. Departing families who are not re-enrolling in 23-24 but received financial aid in 22-23 will receive their 22-23 financial aid discount. Giddens School does accept DSHS and the City of Seattle CCAP subsidy – reach out to Mindy Huffman if you have questions.
