Cancellation and refund policy
I understand that written notice of cancellation of this Contract must be received by Branches at Meadowbrook at info@branchesmeadowbrook.org on or before May 1, 2027. I further acknowledge that no portion of the Deposit will be refunded after March 15, 2027. If there is an outstanding balance on the account, the deposit will be first applied to the outstanding balance before a refund will occur. I acknowledge and agree that on or after May 1, 2027, the Programs Fee constitutes liquidated damages, that this amount is a reasonable estimate of the damages likely to be incurred by Programs as a result of a late withdrawal, and that actual damages are difficult or impossible to ascertain at this time.
I also acknowledge and agree that the Programs Fee will not be refunded or prorated for any unattended days, with the sole exceptions:
- I may receive a prorated refund to the extent that the Participant's final full day of school conflicts with the opening day of the Programs. Notification must be sent to Branches by May 1, 2027 by email, info@branchesmeadowbrook.org.
- Any programming canceled by Branches at Meadowbrook before the start of Programs (June 14, 2027) will result in a full refund, including the Deposit.
- In the event that Branches at Meadowbrook is unable to provide transportation to previously advertised routes, a full refund of all transportation fees will be issued to those who have registered for transportation.
Any refunds will be processed by the original method of payment used for each charge.
In the event of the Participant's cancellation of this Contract on or after May 1, 2027, all unpaid fees shall become due and payable in full within thirty (30) days of the date of cancellation.
Program transfers
Not sure your camper will still love their program by summer? We understand—plans and interests can change. You may request a transfer to another program no later than two weeks before its scheduled start, subject to space availability. Call our office at 781-647-0545 or email info@branchesmeadowbrook.org, and we’ll be happy to check.
If the new program costs more, the difference is due before your camper attends. If it costs less, the difference isn’t refunded.
Absences and snow closures
Program fees are not refunded or prorated for unattended days, except as provided in the cancellation and refund policy above. Branches will communicate snow closures to families.
Branches-initiated cancellations or changes
Branches may cancel or alter a program because of enrollment size. Any programming canceled by Branches before the start of Programs on June 14, 2027 will result in a full refund, including the deposit.
Add-on programs and transportation
Transportation, Extended Day, and swim lesson add-ons follow the same cancellation and refund policy as the main camp program. Separately, if bus service becomes unavailable, all transportation fees will be refunded.
How to contact us
Email cancellation, program-switch, and refund requests to info@branchesmeadowbrook.org. Include the camper's name, the program or dates involved, and the reason for your request.
