Policies & Procedures
Camp Program Fees
A per-camper, per-session deposit is required to secure your spot at camp. Deposit amounts are applied toward the final camp balance. A $750 deposit is required for the International Travel Trip. A $100 deposit is required for all other programs.
Deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable at point of registration for all programs. Please check camp dates against other obligations and vacations before registering your camper.
Full payment is due on May 22. Before this date, refund requests will be honored minus the deposit and administrative fees. Summer at WIS offers a variety of payment options to help finance your camper's summer experience. Financial aid assistance is not available for summer camps.
Between May 23 and June 5, any refund requests will be refunded at 50% the cost of registration. The full cost of registration is non-refundable after June 5 for any reason.
Families who register after May 22 are required to pay in full at the time of registration.
Refunds & Cancellations
Deposits & Fees
All program deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable at point of registration.
Refunds for any camp program fees paid beyond the deposit(s) will only be issued when written notice of cancellation is received before May 22. Between May 23 and June 5, 50% of the full cost of registration (minus deposit and fees) will be refunded.
Refund requests that come after June 5 will not be honored. Rollover credits to the next camp season or school year are not issued.
Refund requests for Extended Day services must be submitted in writing at least one week prior to the start of the camp session in question.
Cancellations Due to Medical or Emergency Circumstances
In some cases, refunds may be granted after the cancellation and refund period for medical or emergency circumstances only. A written notice of cancellation with explanation of medical or emergency circumstances must be provided for a refund request to be considered.
Additional documentation may be requested by Washington International School. Partial refunds will be at the discretion of Washington International School after reviewing the request.
Inclement Weather
Trip and travel programs and/or outdoor activities may be canceled when weather conditions are unstable. Alternative activities will be provided. Refunds are not given when activities are canceled due to inclement weather.
Program Cancellation
If any program is canceled by Washington International School, for any reason, a full refund will be issued on all camp program fees including the non-refundable deposit.
If a program is canceled for any reason (including, but not limited to insufficient enrollment and staffing issues), every effort will be made to place campers in a similar program.
Frequently Asked Questions
Required Health Forms
Washington International School requires all students to be compliant with the District of Columbia Department of Health and Vaccination requirements. Campers must be toilet trained to enroll in camp.
Most forms require a physicians signature and date that is within one-year of the start of camp. Forms dated prior to June 22, 2025 will not be accepted. We recommend giving yourself ample time to complete your health forms as doctors offices are overwhelmed with requests in May and June and it could delay your start to camp. If you are a WIS family, and your forms meet the date criteria, you can download your school health forms from Magnus and upload them to CampBrain.
