Terms & Conditions
Things to be aware of:
When you book with Camp Allstars, these Terms and Conditions and other information such as our Parents Guide and Policies and Procedures document define the agreement between us and let you know what to expect from Camp Allstars and what we expect from you. If you have any questions about our Terms and Conditions, please call our Customer Services team on 07903280220
1. Bookings
Bookings made online or by telephone will be confirmed by email. A booking is confirmed when we receive the appropriate deposit and / or full payment receipt of these constitutes acceptance of these terms and conditions.
2. Payments
Camp Allstars accepts payment by paypal or bank transfer. We do not accept payment by cheque or American Express. All bookings must be paid in full at least 14 days before camp start date or your children will not be able to attend camp. In the unlikely event that you have payments outstanding after your child has attended camp, these will be passed to a debt recovery agency.
3. Paying with Childcare Vouchers
We are currently exploring the option of providing this as a method of paying for our camps. Please contact us via email to find out the progress of our application.
4. Changing your booking
If you give us 28 days or more notice, you can change your dates within the same holiday season (e.g. summer), subject to availability, free of charge. If you give us less than 28 days’ notice we will endeavour to change your dates within the same season, subject to availability, on payment of a £10 amendment fee per booking. We are unable to make any changes with 7 days’ or less notice. If you have booked a full week, you can only move the whole week, unless you are happy to pay the extra cost to split the days across different weeks.
5. Cancellations
If you give us at least 28 days’ notice before the camp date(s) you would like to cancel, we will refund all monies paid, minus your deposit of £10 per child per day.
As we offer a discounted weekly price, if you wish to cancel a day(s) within a week, we will then recalculate your booking at the daily rate (at the time of your original booking) which may result
in an additional charge. If you give us less than 28 days’ notice before the date(s) you would like to cancel, no refund is
available.
6. Extended Care
Our standard extended care hours are 8am to 9am and 5pm to 6pm and can be booked at an additional charge. Some venues times vary and this is confirmed at the time of booking.
Extended care can be cancelled. If you give us 28 days or more notice before camp starts, we will refund you in full. With less than 28 days’ notice, no refund is payable. If you wish to move
extended care to a different camp day, this is possible with 7 days or more notice, free of charge.
7. Your child’s information
It is the responsibility of the person making the booking to ensure that all details provided are accurate, in particular full information about each child, including medical and other special
educational needs, and emergency contact information. If we do not have all this information before camp starts, your children will not be allowed on camp.
8. Special requirements
Camp Allstars recognises that the needs of individual children vary, and will endeavour to accommodate children with specific needs and/or medical conditions within the camp
environment. It is our policy not to exclude any child due to specific needs and/or medical conditions wherever possible.
It is the responsibility of the parent/carer to inform us of any medical conditions and special educational needs or disabilities, whether booking online or over the phone, so we can discuss
how best to accommodate the child, and consider whether any reasonable adjustments can be made to ensure they are able to fully participate and enjoy the activities on camp within the
staffing ratios provided for their age group. The needs of each child vary so decisions are made on a case-by-case basis and depend upon the level of support each individual child may require.
We are not able to provide additional staff to support a child above our standard ratios of, 1:16 for 6-7 year olds and 1:20 for 8 years old and over, irrespective of any specific needs or medical conditions. Where we feel that a child is not coping within these ratios, we reserve the right to ask the parent/carer to come and collect their child.
No refund will be available.
Where a child does require one-to-one support, Camp Allstars will permit parents/carers to attend camp to support their child, providing the Camp Allstars safer recruitment standards are
met. Camp Allstars does not provide one-to-one support.
We are happy to accommodate a child with specific needs on a paid trial basis and reserve the right to review further bookings.
9. Illness and First Aid
Camp Allstars requires that all children who are ill or infectious be kept home for the full duration of their ailment, and for 48 hours after the last symptom occurs. Camp Allstars will only
administer medication if it has been prescribed by a doctor or other health professional.
In the event of an accident, first aid will be administered to children in our care, and the emergency services will be called if necessary.
Essential prescribed medication including Epipens must be handed in to the Camp Manager for safe-keeping. All Camp Allstars First Aid policies are in line with Ofsted recommendations.
10. Child Exclusion
Camp Allstars has a responsibility for ensuring the well-being and safety of all children in our careand have approved procedures for managing behaviour. The company follows a zero tolerance
policy on discrimination, bullying and persistent poor behaviour of any kind, irrespective of any special needs. On rare occasions, and in more serious cases, we reserve the right to ask parents
to remove children from camp either for the remainder of the day (part exclusion), or for the rest of the season (full exclusion). No refund will be made for any remaining days booked, and
any costs associated with the exclusion will be the parents’ responsibility. We reserve the right to exclude a child at any time prior to or during a session due to illness. The parent/carer will be
expected to come and collect their child.
11. Late Pick-up
All children MUST be collected by 6pm (unless timings are otherwise specified at time of
booking). If for any reason you are unable to collect by 6pm, we ask that you call the Camp Manager or Head Office as soon as possible. Two members of staff will wait with your child until
they are collected. You will be charged a late pick-up fee of £20 for every 15 minutes after 6pm to cover the additional staffing cost. If we have no contact from a parent/guardian by 6.30pm,
we will contact Social Services to advise them we have an uncollected child. We reserve the right to refuse future bookings from parents who continually pick up late.
12. Notice of Absence
If a child is not attending a scheduled day on camp, parents/carers must telephone the Camp Manager or Head Office to allow us to update records.
13. Off-camp activities
At some camps we may offer optional extra excursions and activities. All our usual standards of care and supervision apply.
14. Programme and activities
From time to time, we may need to change venues, dates, activities and courses for reasons within or outside our control.
Activity programmes are subject to change in the event of unsuitable weather or other circumstances beyond our control. Timetables displayed on camp are a guide and are subject to
change. Specific extra activities such as swimming (where available) and archery are scheduled in as much as possible, however, if you are booking individual days, we cannot guarantee these activities will fall on those particular days.
In exceptional circumstances we may have to cancel particular dates at a venue, and in this event, we will try to give those booked onto the programme at least 14 days’ notice and will
offer a suitable alternative if one is available, or refund all monies paid for the dates cancelled, if preferred.
15. Personal Property
All your child’s personal property is your responsibility and Camp Allstars is not liable for any lost or damaged property on camp. If you believe that your child has left an item on camp, please
contact the Camp Manager who will do their best to assist you. Lost property will remain on camp until the last day of the season and should be collected before the last day. Unclaimed
lost property will be taken back to Head Office and then donated to charity. We are unable to return any items to you from Head Office.
16. Mobile Phones and Electronic Devices
All mobile phones and electrical devices are prohibited on camp. If found, children will be asked to place the device in the Camp Manager’s box which will be locked and secured at all times.
The device will be returned to the authorised parent/carer at the end of the session.
