What is your Behavior Policy?
Children are expected to behave the same way they would in a school environment.
Bullying is not tolerated at NVSA and our staff has been trained to identify and prevent bullying behavior. If a child engages in outbursts, physical/verbal abuse to other NVSA campers/staff, NVSA has the right to remove that child from camp. We will do our best to work with your family to prevent removal from camp.
What is your Refund Policy?
If you would like to cancel your registration at least 60 days prior to your first day of camp you can be granted a full monetary refund (minus a 5.9% service charge for transactions made with a credit card). Alternatively, you can receive a full NVSA monetary credit, valid for one year. This credit is only valid for NVSA run clinics, NVSA camps and the Playbox (does not apply to birthday parties, private lessons, rentals).
If you need to cancel your registration less than 60 days prior to your first day of camp, we can offer summer camp make up credits. These credits can be used to attend another day of Summer Camp 2025. Please note that these credits will expire at the end of the summer. If you are already signed up for all remaining days of summer camp, the validity of this credit will be extended throughout the Fall 2025 session. Any summer camp make up credits issued during the last two weeks of summer camp will also be valid within the Fall 2025 session.
Please also note, we must be notified at least 24 hours prior to your absence in order to qualify for any form of credit.
