Age Requirements
In order to be enrolled in any of our camps, your child must be that age on the first day of the session you are requesting. For example, if your child has a friend in the 9-10 age group, but your child turns 9 on the second day of the session, they can only register for the 7-8 age group. If you are requesting day camp for your child, they must be at least 5 on the first day of the session you wish them to be enrolled in. There are no exceptions. If your child does not meet the age eligibility requirement for the session they are enrolled in, Camp Massasoit reserves the right to withdraw that camper.
Splitting Sessions
No camper is allowed to split sessions. If you choose to enroll your child in a session but only send them to one week of that session, that is allowed, but it will not be prorated.
Confirming Enrollment
After you register your child, you will receive a confirmation email. We recommend that you save the email(s) until your child begins the session(s) they is registered for. If you accidentally enrolled your child in the wrong session, please see the section below regarding how to withdraw your child from a session.
Switching Sessions
If your summer plans have changed and you need to switch your child out of their current session and into a different one, a fee of $25 will be assessed. Switching into a different session can only occur if space is still available in the desired session. Please contact the camp office to begin the process; however, written documentation via email will be required.
Withdrawing from a Session
If you need to withdraw your child from a session, please email campmassasoit@springfield.edu. There is a $50 non-refundable fee for withdrawing from a session. Additionally, if you request to withdraw fewer than two weeks from the start of camp, there is no refund. If applicable, you should receive a refund check within two to three weeks of submitting your drop request. See our refund policy in the Camp Massasoit Parent Information Packet.
Waitlist Information
If a session is full, you can select the option to place your child on a waitlist. If a slot becomes available, we will contact you via email. Once you have been notified, you will have 24 hours to accept the slot via email. Please note that no waitlist acceptance can be made verbally. If you do not accept it within the 24-hour timeframe, the slot may no longer be available to your child.
Financial Assistance
Scholarships
There are two scholarships available for individuals 5-13 years of age that cover the tuition cost of one day camp session. The Camp Massasoit Sargeant Scholarships are made possible by the generous donation from Pat Sargeant, whose parents played an integral role in the early development of Camp Massasoit. In order to qualify for this scholarship, an application form must be submitted and all requirements within the application must be met. Applications are due March 30.
Financial Support
Through the generous support of various donations, we are fortunate to be able to offer financial assistance for a portion of a child’s registration fee. In order to seek assistance, you must submit the financial request form. We cannot guarantee all requests will be supported. Funds will be dispersed on a first come first serve basis. Once we receive a request form, you will be notified within a few days if you have been granted assistance and the amount to be granted.
Other Important Information
This camp complies with regulations of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and is licensed by the local board of health. Massachusetts State Law requires documentation of a medical exam completed within two years of camp attendance. There are no exceptions!
