In consideration of Long Lake Camp Inc. (“Camp”) holding the camper’s space and later allowing the camper to participate in Camp, the camper and each parent/guardian (“Parents”) agree to the following terms and conditions.
Tuition Schedule: Parents shall pay Camp on the following schedule: A $750 deposit with enrollment, a $750 payment due one month from initial enrollment, then payments of $500 on the 1st of each month with the final balance due paid in full April 1st 2026.
Included Costs: Tuition includes Camp holding the camper’s spot, administrative/registration costs, all programs of instruction, all private lessons, room and board, supervision, craft materials, laundry service, gratuities, field trips, spending money, and canteen. Tuition does not include optional medical insurance, transportation to and from Camp, musical instruments (except pianos and drums), and linens.
Refund Policy: Delivering the summer experience requires Camp to incur numerous irreversible spending obligations many months before the summer begins. The Camp’s planning, hiring, promotion, and many other year-round expenses are directly determined by the number of enrollments during the non-summer months. The Camp incurs these irreversible spending obligations in reliance on each camper maintaining (i.e., not canceling) their enrollment and not leaving camp early. Moreover, holding a space for the camper may result in turning away other campers throughout the year. For these and many other reasons, Camp does not give tuition refunds for any reason except the following. If a parent enrolls before December 31st 2025 and then cancels in writing before March 1st 2026, then and only then will a full refund be offered. If a camper is enrolled for six weeks and the session is reduced to three weeks after March 1, 2026, then Parents shall receive no refund of unused tuition and Camp may choose, within its sole discretion, to cancel the enrollment entirely; if camp chooses to cancel the enrollment, it may issue a refund less a $500 administrative fee.
Essential Rules: The camper and Parents agree to comply with all camp policies and procedures, which may be provided verbally or in writing from time to time, including the following: campers may not use or possess tobacco, alcohol, intoxicants, or drugs; campers may not cause self-harm; campers may not leave Camp without the permission of a director; campers may not engage in any activity that puts others in danger or causes physical or emotional harm; bullying, pranks, hazing, intimidation, and similar behaviors are strictly prohibited, including online before or after camp; Parents shall provide Camp with a written itinerary of their summer travel while the camper is at Camp; and Parents shall give Camp a detailed account of the camper’s medical and behavioral needs in writing before signing this Agreement. Violation of these or other Camp rules may result in immediate dismissal without any tuition refund. Moreover, within its sole discretion, Camp may dismiss any camper whose conduct is unsatisfactory or inimical to Camp’s best interests, without giving any tuition refund.
Camp Forms and Medical Care: Long Lake Camp is hereby appointed Loco-Parentis while camper is in attendance. Parents authorize Camp to: make medical decisions on the Parents’ and camper’s behalf; administer medications as instructed by Parents on Camp’s medical forms; administer emergency, nonemergency, and/or routine medical care and first aid; have the camper hospitalized; and use outside medical, surgical, or dental providers, including those that do not accept the camper’s insurance. Parents agree to reimburse Camp in full if Camp incurs any expenses for the camper’s medical treatment, including any treatment which takes place without notice to Parents. Parents shall provide adequate quantities of prescription and non-prescription medications for pre-existing conditions in original pharmacy containers with clear written instructions from the prescribing physician. Moreover, Parents shall submit a fully completed 2026 Long Lake Camp Doctor’s Standing Order Form and Camp Health History Form. If such forms or policies are not properly submitted or adhered to, then enrollment shall be deemed canceled by the Parent and by the Camp without any tuition refund.
Media Release: Camp may use pictures, audio, video, art, and statements of the camper or Parents in social media, the Camp website, and other marketing materials. Parents and the camper give Camp permission to take pictures, make recordings, and collect statements or art, and to use such pictures, recordings, statements, or art in original or modified form in all media, with or without a name or other information about the camper, for the promotion, public education, or other activities of Camp. Parents and the camper shall not be entitled to compensation for such use.
Personal Items: Parents and Campers bring any items of value at their own risk especially instruments, equipment and electronics.
Consent to Participate: Parents authorize the camper to participate in all Camp programs of which Parents are aware or not aware. Campers may: participate in public performances on or off Camp; use jewelry saws, parallel bars, automotive and woodshop tools and other hazardous equipment; participate in any activity including but not limited to, horseback riding, swimming, waterskiing, wakeboarding, tubing, four wheel ATVs, climbing wall, gymnastics, camping, paintball, high ropes, sea plane rides, white water rafting, circus, field trips, and other hazardous activities; and travel by common carrier or any other transportation.
Assumption of Risk: Parents and the camper understand the nature of the Camp experience and that Camp entails inherent risks and dangers which make it impossible to ensure the complete safety of the camper regardless of the care taken by Camp. Neither Parents nor the camper shall hold Camp liable if camper is injured due to an inherent risk of the Camp experience. Tuition and fees paid are agreed to be the fair and reasonable sum as and for liquidated damages.
Waiver of Liability: Parents and the camper release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue Long Lake Camp including its owners, employees, officers, independent contractors, vendors, volunteers, attorneys, and other related parties (“Released Parties”) from liability from any and all claims for injury or other loss resulting from the inherent risks of Camp or the ordinary negligence of Camp or the Released Parties. Parents and the camper enter into this waiver of liability on behalf of themselves, their heirs, assigns, personal representatives, and spouses.
Indemnification: Parents and the camper agree to hold harmless, defend, and indemnify Camp and the Released Parties (i.e., defend and pay any judgment and costs, including investigation and court costs, and attorney fees) from any and all claims of the camper, Parents, family members, or others arising from the camper’s or a Parent’s injury or loss due to participation in Camp or any action of the Parents or camper which causes injury or loss to others.
Force Majeure: Camp shall not be liable for any failure or delay in providing a Camp experience, early closing of Camp, or other failure to comply with an obligation arising under this Agreement, which is caused by forces beyond Camp’s control, including: war; terrorism; civil or military disturbances; acts of God; strikes; work stoppages; accidents; lightning; communicable disease; nuclear or natural disasters; Federal, State or Local orders or interruptions or malfunctions of utilities, communications, or computer services. In these and similar events, Camp shall not be obligated to give any refunds.
No Waiver of Breach: If Camp does not insist upon strict adherence to any provision of this Agreement, then it shall not be deemed a waiver of Camp’s rights with regard to that provision or any other provision in the future.
Severability: If any portion of this Agreement is unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, then it shall not impact the validity and enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.
Legal Costs: If Camp engages in any legal proceeding to enforce, defend its interpretation of, or remedy the breach of, this Agreement, and if Camp prevails in such proceeding, Camp shall be entitled to recover its attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred, in addition to all other appropriate relief to which Camp may be entitled.
Entire Agreement: This is the entire Agreement, there are no other terms or agreements that are not contained or referenced herein, and any prior conversations, emails, or agreements are hereby superseded by this Agreement. No changes may be made to this Agreement unless such changes are approved and signed by a director of the Camp.
Electronic Signature/Delivery: This Agreement may be executed by electronic signature and delivered by email. The Camp may rely on a digitally-signed and/or electronically-delivered document as if it is the original.
Venue and Choice of Law: The sole and exclusive venue for any litigation, action, or proceeding arising from or relating to this Agreement shall lie in a local, state, or federal court in Hamilton County in New York State. Parents and the camper expressly waive any right to contest such venue for any reason whatsoever.
