New Adventure Camp Enrollment Rule
In order to ensure each child gets a chance to participate in our camps, on the sign up day you will be allowed to sign your child up for only one session of any particular Adventure Camp. If you would like your child to participate in multiple sessions of a camp, their name will be placed at the bottom of the waiting list. If a spot becomes available, you will be called and your child may attend that camp if you are still interested.

Registration Notes
Participants are registered on a first come first serve basis at the Sports Center Main Desk or by mail. Please use the enclosed registration form. Payment in full is due upon registration. We accept cash, checks (made payable to The Clark Sports Center), and credit cards (MasterCard, Visa, and American Express).

Cancellations

In the event your child cannot participate in a camp they are enrolled in, please refer to the schedule below for securing a refund of all or part of your tuition. The Sports Center retains a $15 registration fee for all cancellations.

  • 30 days prior to camp start: 100% of tuition refunded
  • 15-29 days prior to camp start: 50% of tuition refunded.
  • Cancellations made within 14 days of camp start: 100% forfeit of the tuition.

If a camp does not fill with a minimum number of participants, The Clark Sports Center reserves the right to cancel or combine two different sessions with low enrollment. We will notify participants in advance and you will receive a full tuition refund if we cannot find a substitute arrangement. For safety reasons, The Clark Sports Center reserves the right to remove a participant from a program or to cancel all or part of a camp at any time. Participants may be removed from camp for violations of camp regulations, showing disrespect to the camp or facility staff, damaging equipment, or any other behavior which is harmful to The Clark Sports Center.
