In the event of illness or injury
Peconic Dunes 4-H Camp will not admit any camper who shows signs of illness, including a temperature of 100.4oF or
above.
If a day or overnight camper becomes ill at camp, he/she will be sent home. Campers can return to camp after being
fever free for 48 hours, complete a quarantine period or secure a letter of good health from a medical professional.
A prorated refund will be considered for remaining camp period if a camper becomes injured at camp and the Camp
Health Director or Camp Director (or designee) determines that he/she is unable to participate in camp activities and
must be sent home.
Note
If Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County, based on guidance from Cornell University, New York State,
and/or Suffolk County, or circumstances beyond our control, cancels any or all camp sessions, families will receive a
refund of all deposits and payments minus a $100 administrative fee to cover our costs for these transactions.
No refunds
If a camper is sent home for behavioral reasons, including but not limited to violating camp rules and policies (see
Parent Handbook), homesickness, non-compliance, failure to thrive (e.g., not eating, sleeping or participating), there
will be no refund. A camper who does not arrive, arrives late, leaves early, or attends only part of the session will not
receive a refund.
Important note about homesickness
Camp staff make every effort to help campers who struggle with separation from home. If a camper is still homesick
and unwilling to adjust to camp life, the parent will be asked to take the child home from camp, in which case, there
will be no refund or credit.
All requests for refunds must be submitted on the Refund Request Form found on the camp website and sent
to: peconicdunescamp@cornell.edu
