- How does the deposit process work?
- Prior to May 15, each participant must submit a non-refundable 50% deposit for each camp. The deposit is a portion of the total tuition; the remaining balance is due by May 15 to hold your child's spot. If full payment is not received by May 15, the space may be given to the next person on the waiting list.

- What is the refund policy?
- The 50% per camp deposit is nonrefundable unless a camp is cancelled by Summer Quest. If you change registration with two weeks written notice before camp starts, you can receive a payment voucher minus the deposit that must be used during summer 2026. The credit cannot be transferred to next year but can be used for siblings. No refunds after May 15 regardless of circumstance.

- Does staff provide or apply sunscreen?
- No, parents/guardians should apply sunscreen on your camper prior to the start of camp. Summer Quest staff will NOT be responsible for providing, applying, or reapplying sunscreen. Your camper will need to be able to apply and reapply sunscreen on their own. If sunscreen is sent, it should be in a sealed plastic bag labeled with your child's name and stored in their backpack.

- How do virtual waiting rooms work?
- CampBrain uses virtual waiting rooms to give families fair access to registration. When the site is busy, you'll see your spot in line and estimated wait time. You can stay on the page or return within 10 minutes and will automatically enter registration when it's your turn. During high-traffic times, a countdown pre-queue may appear with spots randomly assigned for fair access.

- What if a camp is full?
- If you are trying to register online and a camp is full, the system will automatically notify you that you are being placed on a waiting list. If you are placed on a waiting list, no payment is due at that time. If a space becomes available, the Summer Quest Office will contact you to see if you would still like to enroll.
