Cancellations
The Morrell Nature Sanctuary will issue a full credit or refund if the cancellation request is received two days before camp. Any cancellations afterwards or ‘no shows’ will be charged for one full day of camp.
Drop Off & Pick-Up
Please be prompt in dropping off and picking up your summer camper(s) with a completed Covid screening form.
 Children may not arrive before the start of camp and must be picked up promptly. This allows leaders time to prepare for and clean up after each day of camp. Doors open at 9:00am and you are required to remain with your child(ren) until the leaders open the camp each day. Your child will not be released by anyone other than a parent/ guardian listed on the registration form unless you notify leaders ahead of time.

Camp Behavior and Discipline Guidelines
All campers must follow these basic rules: 
  1. They may not hurt or endanger themselves, other campers or nature.
  2. They must stay with the group.
  3. They must stay on the trails (unless directed otherwise)
  4. No foul language or threats (verbal or physical) allowed.
  5. They must follow instructions and directions of leaders at all times.
 If needed, leaders will give a warning to the camper first, followed by a time out. If three time outs are given in one day, the parent or guardian will be contacted immediately and the camper will be asked to leave.
Special Conditions and Emergencies
​If your child has a severe allergy or medical condition that requires medication or special care, please inform us so that we can provide you with our severe allergy information sheet. This form must be completely filled out prior to the first day of camp. We will keep parents informed of any out of the ordinary occurrences.
