Refund Policy

If you are unable to attend camp, a refund can be provided less a $50 processing fee when a request is submitted up to 30 days prior to camp. Refunds requested within 29 days of the start of camp, or after camp has ended, will not be granted.  The camp is staffed based on the number of registered campers and staff changes cannot be made last minute.  Please ensure you can attend camp before registering. Circumstances that would allow for an exception to the 30 day policy are as follows:

  • Serious illness or injury of a host or player: You’ll be asked to provide a general statement from a physician/physical therapist/athletic trainer confirming that the host or player can’t travel/participate due to the illness or injury.

IMPORTANT: Active, the third party vendor for Vanderbilt Athletics Camps, charges a nonrefundable fee of five dollars for all camp registrations, and this fee will be charged regardless of whether the camper qualifies for a full refund of other camp fees. By signing up for camp, all registrants acknowledge that the $5 Active registration fee will not be refunded in any event once registration is complete. Additionally, registration fees may be refunded in the event of camp cancellation or substantial rescheduling.
