A $30 non-refundable deposit is needed to hold a spot for Full-Day Camp only (Belvidere Explorers). The deposit is credited to the specified session’s remaining balance. Whether paying in full or placing a deposit, cancellation of registration (for each session a child is removed from) will result in the loss of the $30 deposit. To retain your child’s spot in camp, final payment is required by the registration deadlines. Final payments are due two weeks before a camp session begins. NOTE: A child is not officially enrolled until a $30 deposit AND a camp packet has been submitted to Jordan White (jwhite@waukeganparks.org) at least two weeks prior to the start date.
