Koinonia Nature Camp Payment Options and Policies

    1. Payment Options

    A non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your child’s space for each session. The deposit is due at time of registration, and full tuition is due one week before the camp session begins. Jean Sandberg will reach out to you once your child’s application is received to set up payment arrangements. There are two payment options:

    • Weekly: You will be billed the week prior to each session that your child is registered for.
    • In full: If you are only registering for certain weeks, you can pay in full for all registered sessions, or you may prepay for all 8 weeks! Please note: If you prepay for sessions and your child does not attend one of the weeks, no refund will be given unless you give a 2-week advance notice of cancellation.

    Please click here to submit payment online.

    We will also be accepting payments through the Sullivan County Childcare Council for those who qualify. Please indicate whether or not you will be applying. It will be your responsibility to apply through the Childcare Council and inform Koinonia of your acceptance so we can bill appropriately.

    2. Scholarships and Discounts

    Partial scholarships and discounts are available for families, on a case by case basis. If you would like to request a scholarship or discount, please fill out the Scholarship Application form and return it to the office. Scholarships are available based on need. The deposit is not eligible for scholarships.

    3. Refunds

    Refunds are available to families with a minimum of two weeks’ notice of cancellation. If a family experiences a financial or family hardship, or medical emergency, please contact our office to discuss your options for a refund. The rate is set per week, and partial refunds will not be given in the event your child does not attend a full week.

    4. General Policies

    We accept payments by credit card via SQUARE (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, AMEX) or accept personal checks payable to Koinonia. We will charge a $50 fee for returned checks. Cash is not accepted.

Koinonia Nature Camp Drop-off and Pick-up Procedures

Regular Drop-off 8:30 A.M. – Chapel in the Pines Parking lot on Mud Pond Road
The drop-off location is the parking lot in the Chapel in the Pines unless rainstorms are severe. On those days the drop off and pick up location will be the Conference Center. Families will be notified by email or text if the drop off is not at the camp. Please do not exit your vehicles, staff will be present to escort your child into camp. Please do not arrive with your child before 8:30. If you arrive earlier, please remain in your vehicle until we are open.

Regular Pick Up 3:00pm – Chapel in the Pines Parking lot on Mud Pond Road
Families will drive their car up to the entrance of the Chapel in the Pines, staff will check in with you, your child will be brought to you, and you will sign them out. If you are 15 minutes or more late you will be charged a late fee of $10.

Authorized Pick Up People
Parents and/or guardians may have up to two additional authorized Pick Up People, excluding themselves. Please fill out the authorized form and return it to our office, with all other forms. If a staff person does not recognize the Pick Up Person, they will request to see the driver’s license to confirm their identity, before allowing the child to go with them to the car.

Extended Day Pick up 5:00pm – Chapel in the Pines Parking lot on Mud Pond Road
Families will drive their car up to the entrance at the Chapel in the Pines Parking lot, staff will check in with you, your child will be brought to you, and you will sign them out. Please come on time because our camp staff needs to prepare for the next day.

Alternative Camp Location (Inclement Weather)/ Emergency Pick up Location
In the event that we are expecting moderately inclement weather, camp will be held at the Koinonia Conference Center. Turn into main entrance, located at 165 Lakeview Drive, Highland Lake; stay straight on road (passing office on right) and follow signs to the Conference Center. Drop off/pick up will be along the circular driveway at the front of the building. This is also the location we will evacuate to from the chapel in the pines in the event of an emergency.
