Cancellations/Withdrawals
With email notification to the Director of Auxiliary Programs, Margot Harrington (margot.harrington@berwickacademy.org), families may withdraw a participant from a summer camp under the following scenarios:
*Cancelation more than 14 days before the camp starts: If you cancel more than 14 days prior to the program starting, you will receive a refund/credit less 25% of the camp fee. You can use a credit to sign up for other programs during the summer season or keep it on your account for future seasonal programming.
*Cancelation within 14 days before the camp starts: There will be no refunds/credits offered within the 14 day window of a camp starting.
No refund or reduction in fees is possible for a child who arrives late, leaves early, or attends only part of a program because of illness, other than a hospital stay.
Berwick Academy reserves the right to cancel any camp due to under enrollment or unforeseen circumstances. Participants will be given the choice of selecting another program or receiving a full refund of paid fees.
In the event that Berwick Academy summer programs are not able to operate due to state regulatory requirements in regards to the COVID-19 pandemic, fees will be prorated and refunded.
Waitlists:
When first-choice camps are not available upon application, a waitlist will become available for each program. Participants are accepted from the waitlist based on open space and will be notified by telephone and/or email if and when space becomes available. We cannot guarantee any movement from the waitlist, and families enter the waitlist at their discretion.
Late Registration:
Online registration will close at 3 p.m. on the Monday prior to the camp start date. If you would like to register after that time, and there are still spaces available, you must contact Margot Harrington, Director of Auxiliary Programs, at 207-384-6199 or margot.harrington@berwickacademy.org. Registration is not complete until the Director has confirmed this with you. You may not show up on the first day of the program to drop off your child and/or register.
Financial Assistance
Payment plans and limited financial assistance are available upon request. Please reach out to Margot Harrington, Director of Auxiliary Programs at 207-384-6199 or

General Behavioral Policy
All participants are expected to follow a set of general rules of behavior, including respecting themselves, others, the School property, equipment, or materials. Staff will review the rules and policies with each group at the beginning of each session.
Berwick Academy does not tolerate behaviors that do not promote the best experience for all participants and staff. We expect that the following major rules will be consistently followed by all participants: :
No fighting or physical violence
No bullying, teasing, or making fun of other participants
No inappropriate language
No endangering the health and safety of other participants or staff
No inflicting self-harm
No damaging or stealing property
With respect to all other behavior issues by any participant, the School will take appropriate action to address such behavior and will engage the guardian as necessary to ensure that the participant addresses the issue. The School reserves the right to dismiss any participant who consistently fails to respect themselves, others, the School property, equipment, and materials.
Please Note: No refunds or proration of tuition will be issued for dismissals resulting from a behavioral issue or violation of Auxiliary Program rules.
COVID-19 Protocols
Based on current best practices for being in person on campus, campers will be masked when they are indoors, with the exception of when they are eating/drinking. We recognize that CDC guidelines may change by the summer and will communicate if our masking policy changes.
Inclement Weather Policy
We do our best to remain open and follow an indoor schedule on rainy days. In the event of a natural disaster, such as a hurricane or tornado, the campus will be closed. No refunds or tuition proration shall be issued in the event of such a closure. We will notify you if make-up days can be arranged.
Nut “Aware” Campus
We maintain a nut “aware” campus. We ask faculty, staff and families to leave peanut and tree nut containing foods and products off campus to help ensure our nut allergic community’s safety.
