If you would like to receive a refund for selected days, please request it BEFORE the first day that your child starts camp with us. In addition, we only provide refunds if an emergency takes place or due to testing positive for COVID. Unattended days do not qualify for refunds or credit! Please be sure to check the dates you register for thoroughly as we will not be allowing families to switch dates but only add!

Camp Corte Madera closes promptly at 5:00PM. If you pick up your child after 5:00PM, you will be charged a late fee as follows:
$20 for the first 10 minutes or less

Drop-In Care
We are allowing families daily registration options, however, instead of opening registration each month we are allowing it to be open all summer! With that being said, online registration will close each Sunday at midnight before the start of the new week. (For example, if you would like your child to attend camp the week of 6/19-6/23, online registration would close on 6/18 at midnight however, you may still register online for the remaining camp dates of summer on your own!)
Drop-in care is any additional care request made that is not scheduled in advance online. Drop-in care must be approved in advance of your child attending. Contact the Program Director directly to schedule drop-in. An additional $5 fee will be added to the cost of all drop-in days.

The California Department of Public Health announced on February 28th, 2022 that indoor masking will no longer be mandatory but rather strongly recommended. Alongside Neil Cummins Elementary School, masking indoors for students AND staff will not be required, but "strongly recommended", especially for those who are unvaccinated.
