Payment Policies
Please note that this coming year, you will see a convenience fee added to your transactions for credit card purchases which is a change from previous years. We highly encourage you to pay by personal check when possible; there is a coupon code to enter during registration to bypass credit card payments and avoid these fees, which go directly to the credit card companies. We welcome check payments and you can contact us for a payment plan or set one up with CampDoc if needed!
We are trying to make Morse Hill accessible to more families, so we will use a sliding scale again this summer. In order to provide the best experience possible for campers and offer a fair wage to our staff, our sliding payment scale should more fairly distribute the cost of summer camp. All camps are listed at their base cost, with increases to the base cost based on self-attested income. We appreciate your understanding as we work to provide a more equitable model for our families and community.
We have included many coupons to help you save money, such as paying early, paying with a personal check, multi camp discounts and sibling discounts. We also offer scholarships to families on a need basis. To apply, please reach us at summer@morsehill.com and our office staff will assist you in the application process.
Lastly, we ask for a 1/3 deposit so you do not have to pay so much up front. Payment in full is due 30 days ahead of camp start date.
PAY BY CHECK TO AVOID CREDIT CARD FEES.
ADDITIONAL $13 OFF FOR PAYING IN FULL 2 MONTHS BEFORE CAMP STARTS, SIBLING CAMPER OR MULTI CAMPS.
