Cancellation by the Canadian Ecology Centre: If a camp is cancelled due to circumstances beyond the CEC’s control—such as natural disasters, severe weather, government-mandated closures/Civil Authority, or other Force Majeure events—the following will apply:

• During a Camp: If a camp session is already in progress, no refunds will be provided.
• Prior to camp start:
  • Initial Refund: 50% of all course fees paid (minus the non-refundable deposits and any credit card fees) will be refunded.
  • Remaining Balance: The remaining 50% is non-refundable, but may be:
    • Transferred as a credit for future programs or services (valid for up to 2 years), or
    • Donated to the Canadian Ecology Centre Education Foundation, in which case a charitable tax receipt will be issued.

Withdrawals During a Camp: No refunds will be issued if a camper is sent home or voluntarily withdraws once a camp has begun.

Transfers from previous years: Some families may have a portion of their camp fees transferred from a previous year.

• These transferred amounts remain non-refundable and are only eligible to be used as a credit for up to two years from the original cancellation date.
• If a family cancels a 2026 registration that includes a transferred balance from a previous year:Any new payments made for 2026 will be treated according to the 2026 cancellation policy and timelines.
• Any transferred balance from a previous year will not be refunded under the 2026 policy and will continue to follow the original cancellation terms and expiry date.
• Transferred balances cannot be “converted” into a refund by registering and then cancelling under a later year’s policy.

Financial Transparency: The Canadian Ecology Centre is a non-profit organization and does not have sufficient operational reserves to provide full refunds in the event of an emergency shutdown. Refunds and transfers will be processed as soon as operationally and financially feasible, and families will be kept informed of timelines and limitations.
