Refund Policy

All requests for cancellation must be made in writing. Refund requests can be sent via e-mail only to andrew.card@yale.edu. Please include the camper’s name and session they are enrolled in. All monies paid will be refunded to the credit card used to register, with the exception of a $150.00 administrative fee, provided that the spot can be filled with another camper from the waiting list.

Please check and then check again to make sure that you are signing up for the session(s) you want. If you mis-click or mistakenly sign up for the wrong week (hey, these things happen), then first please write us at andrew.card@yale.edu and say you want to switch from Session X to Session Y. It's not a problem to switch weeks....except when you overpay!

DO NOT PAY TWICE! We won't be able to refund your whole amount for your "wrong" week, and that would be terrible for everyone concerned (except the credit card companies).

No refunds will be provided less than two weeks prior to the start date of the camp, regardless of circumstance.

Code of Conduct

Bulldog Rowing Camp will be a lot of fun if campers follow the basic rules of decency and proper conduct so that everyone can concentrate on becoming a better rower.
