We are unable to refund for any missed days of camp.

*NO REPEAT CAMPERS: To ensure that many children in our community have the opportunity to go through camp between the ages of 2 and 5, once your child has graduated from Safety Town, they cannot attend camp again. Thank you for understanding.

*WAIT LIST POLICY: If Safety Town sells out, you can place your child on a waitlist by calling the office at 847/234-6060. If a spot opens up, we will contact families in the order they were placed on the waiting list.
