Summer at the Mount 2026

CAMP PARTICIPATION WAIVER

By agreeing to this form, I, as parent/guardian, permit Mount Saint Joseph Academy to use pictures of my child(ren) as a program participant in promotional literature, videos, MSJA website, and social media platforms. I understand my child(ren)’s name(s) will not be published. 

Mount Saint Joseph Academy (MSJA) is not permitted to administer medication to program participants. In the event of a medical emergency, MSJA will administer first aid in the best interest of the child. Parents will be contacted if care is administered. Emergency allergy medications may be administered if provided by, and directed in writing by, the child’s parent/guardian.

Summer at the Mount programs are rooted in MSJA's mission of unity, inclusion, and respect for all. Campers are expected to reflect these values in their words, actions, and interactions with others each day.

Behavior that disrupts our sense of community, disrespects others, or fails to uphold a safe and welcoming environment will be viewed as inconsistent with Mount’s mission. Examples include, but are not limited to:

• Endangering the health or safety of other children and/or staff
• Bullying, teasing, or making fun of campers and/or staff
• Fighting or engaging in physical violence
• Using profanity, vulgarity, or obscene language or gestures
• Defacing or damaging property

Any camper whose behavior does not align with these expectations may have their participation limited or discontinued at the discretion of the Camp Leadership and Mount Saint Joseph Academy Administration.

Please note: If a camper is asked to leave camp for behavior that does not support MSJA’s mission or code of conduct, no refund will be issued.

I understand that my child's participation in this activity can expose her to dangers both from known and unanticipated risks.  Acknowledging that such risks exist, I hereby release and discharge Mount Saint Joseph Academy, its agents, and employees from any and all claims or liability for personal injury or property damage she may suffer while participating in the activity; including, but not limited to, any claim arising out of any condition of the premises at which the activity is held or the conduct of any person in connection with the preparation for, supervision of, or conduct of any activity, whether planned or unplanned.  I specifically agree to release and hereby release MSJA and the officers, agents, and employees for any negligence of the camp, or its officers, agents or employees. 

I hereby give permission to the medical personnel selected by the camp counselor, coach, etc. to provide routine health care to my child, such as band-aids, minor wound treatment, etc.   In the event of an emergency, if I cannot be reached, I hereby give permission to the physician selected by the camp to secure and administer treatment, including hospitalization, for the person named above. This completed release may be printed or shared for distribution.

SUMMER CAMP REFUND POLICY

Written cancellation/refund requests submitted 10 days prior to the start of camp session are fully refundable minus a $15 transaction fee. Refund requests under 10 days but prior to the start of camp are 50% refundable minus a $15 transaction fee. Unfortunately, a refund will not be available for a session in progress. No refunds will be given for cancellations once camp has started unless the participant has an injury, illness and can provide a note from their medical provider, as well as providing a signed statement from the parent or legal guardian confirming that this note is genuine and based upon the opinion of a medical professional. (If you are able to satisfy these 2 requirements, a refund will be issued).

There are no refunds for missed days.

In the rare event that Mount Saint Joseph Academy (MSJA) must cancel a program due to low enrollment, MSJA reserves the right to cancel and will fully refund all fees. In the event of cancellation due to Force majeure, an Act of God, MSJA will provide a prorated camp refund.

The date printed on the refund request (email or faxed) determines if a refund is granted. All checks must clear the bank before any refunds are processed. Please allow 3–4 weeks for a refund to be issued.
