Payment Options
Camp Deposits
A $1,000 deposit is required to secure your child’s place at camp. The payment must be received within 14 days of your child’s enrollment confirmation. (Most returning families pay the deposit with their camp application. New families should pay it as soon as possible after being offered a spot.) Deposits are non-refundable 14 days after an enrollment confirmation email is sent. (Families receiving campership aid are not required to pay the $1,000 deposit.)
Payment Methods
Paper Check: Checks may be made out to the Aloha Foundation and mailed to 2968 Lake Morey Rd, Fairlee, VT 05045. Please include a copy of your statement or a note with your child’s name so your payment can be applied accurately.
E-check: Log into your account to securely pay online. You will need your bank’s routing number and your checking or savings account number.
Credit Card: Log into your account to securely pay with any major credit card. We impose a small surcharge on all credit card payments that is not higher than our cost of acceptance. Currently, the surcharge is 2.74%.
International Wire Transfer: International families who do not have a US bank account may pay via wire transfer. Please do not send a wire without contacting us first.
Payment Options
Families may choose from the following two payment plans. All payments are non-refundable after February 1. Payments not received on time will result in the forfeiture of your child’s spot. Need help scheduling payments or setting up a payment plan? Email Karen at kdanforth@alohafoundation.org for assistance.
- Option #1: We strongly recommend scheduling automatic monthly payments with an e-check or credit card. Families who select this option in their camp application will have until April 1 to pay in full.
- Option #2: Families choosing not to schedule automatic monthly payments must pay their tuition balance in full by February 1 (or within 30 days of enrollment for campers enrolled after January 1). If you’d like, you may schedule your tuition payment in advance from your account.
Campership Aid Payment Options
Campership families may choose from the following two payment plans. All payments are non-refundable after February 1. Payments not received on time will result in the forfeiture of your child’s spot. Need help setting up a payment plan? Email Karen at kdanforth@alohafoundation.org for assistance.
- Option #1: We strongly recommend scheduling automatic monthly payments with a credit card or e-check. Families who select this option in their camp application will have until May 1 to pay in full. Example: If your expected cost is $2,100 and you enroll in November, your payments could be as low as $350 with a 6-month payment plan.
- Option #2: Pay a small deposit (approximately 10%) within 14 days of receiving your campership aid offer, then pay the balance by February 1 (or within 30 days for campers enrolling after January 1). Example: If your expected cost is $2,100, you will pay $200 upfront, then $1,900 by February 1.
Payment-related Policies
Third-Party Payments: The individual submitting the camp application agrees to assume responsibility for the full tuition and fees. Assumption of financial responsibility extends to third-party (ex-spouse, grandparent, etc.) payment arrangements. If someone else is paying your child’s tuition and would like to pay via e-check or credit card, please send us their full name and email address. We will create an account for them in our system and assist them with payment options and payment processing. They will not have access to your account or your child’s camp paperwork.
Tuition Protection Plans: The Aloha Foundation does not offer a tuition protection plan. We strongly encourage families to purchase a tuition protection plan but do not make recommendations on specific policies. Please be sure you understand the limits, coverage, and benefits offered prior to purchasing coverage. Plan options vary and exclusions may apply. Tuition protection may be limited to certain emergency situations or expenses and may not cover cancellations for any reason or in a non-emergency.
Late Payments: A finance charge of 1% per month, and any collection fees incurred, may be added to all payments. Delinquent accounts may result in the forfeiture of your child’s spot at camp and any payments made to date.
Cancellation Policy: Deposits are nonrefundable 14 days after enrollment. Tuition is non-refundable after February 1. No reduction or refund of tuition is made for late arrival, early departure, missed days, withdrawal for emotional or medical reasons, or any other cause.
