The Enrollment Forms include Field Trips and pricing information. Typically 50 – 65 % of campers attend the Field Trips. Campers who do not attend the Field Trips will stay at the facility and enjoy the scheduled activities for that day. Field Trips are an additional activity and require an additional fee. The fee includes admission, busing, and extra staffing needed to ensure all campers’ safety.

Cancel/Add Field/Swim Trips

If you do not want your child to attend a Field Trip they are scheduled to attend, you must fill out the Field Trip Cancellation form located on our website and at the camp front desk. You can cancel until 9:00 am on the day of the trip.  After 9:00 am our trip list is set, and we are unable to make any changes.  If we do not have a signed form from the camper’s parents/guardian by 9:00 am, they will have to attend the trip. You will not be credited or refunded if you remove your child from a Field Trip for any reason.

If you would like to add a Field Trip to your child’s schedule, go to the Bulletin Board on our website and see if the trip is listed as full. If it is not, simply fill out a Schedule Addition Form and submit it. These are located on our website and at the check-in desk. Additions must be submitted by 9:00 am on Wednesday for the following week’s trips. We will approve additions based on availability. After April 26, 2024, all Field Trips must be paid in full at the time of enrollment.

 

Cancellation of Field/Swim Trips by XL Cherry Hill 

Occasionally, we will cancel a Field or Swimming Trip if we believe the weather is unsafe or if there is some other unforeseen reason. We will make the decision by 9:00 am on the day of the trip and will send out an email notification. If for any reason a Field/Swimming Trip is canceled:

• Where possible, we will provide the camper with the entry ticket to the Field Trips destination. No refund or further compensation will be provided.

• If this is not possible, we will apply the amount paid as a credit towards the camper’s upcoming tuition charges. If the camper has paid in full or the trip is canceled during your child’s last week of camp, a credit will be applied to the camper’s camp account in DASH. This DASH credit will not expire and can be used towards any future XL program. No refund or further compensation will be provided.

Transportation

We use T&L Transportation Company for all transportation. We have used this company for the past 18 years. They are dependable and safe. All buses are equipped with seatbelts and all campers are required to use them.
