Cabin Mate Policy
At Camp Firwood, we value camper friendships, old and new. With this in mind, we want to be able to offer campers opportunities with a cabin. Please be understanding as we attempt to accomodate all requests.
Cabin Mate Policy
- Each camper can request up to 2 cabin mates.
- Requests can be made during the registration process. An email will be sent to the person being requested and must be accepted to complete the request.
- For a request to be recognized, it must be mutual. It is the parent’s responsibility to communicate with other parents about mutual requests.
- Siblings are generally placed in separate cabins, unless requested otherwise.
- Your camper will be notified of their cabin assignment upon Opening Day Check-In.
- Non-requests (requesting that your camper not be placed in the same cabin as another) are not recognized.
Payment Policy
- A non-refundable deposit of $100 must be made to hold your spot. Payment in full is required online.
- Payment is due in full on June 3rd, 2013. Any registration after June 3rd, 2013 must be paid in full.

- The Camp Director reserves the right to refuse any camper for whom they feels the camp staff cannot provide adequate health care and/or supervision, out of concern for the camper’s health and safety.

Wait list
To be put on a Wait list, you must register your camper and pay the full session amount upfront. If a spot becomes available, you will be notified by e-mail immediately. You are responsible to notify us if your plans change, if you do not and a spot opens, you will not be refunded your deposit.
If you would like your camper on more than one Wait list, you must register them with a full payment for each session. If you have put your camper on more than one Wait List as a safety net, please keep in mind that you lose the $100 deposit upon canceling. We do not consider being on a second Wait list as a way to transfer to another Wait listed session that your camper gets in to, we consider it a cancellation. No funds will be transferred from one Wait list to another.
Bounced Checks
If we receive a returned check from our bank for a payment you made, you will be invoiced for the original amount of the check plus a $25 bank fee. The payment of the invoiced amount will be due within 30 days of invoice date. We will re-submit the original check once before sending the invoice and fee. We will not accept another check for the re-payment; you must pay with cash, money order or credit card.
