  9. Grace Policy
    • You are allowed to drop a total of 10% of your registered number after your middle payment and before the first day of camp at no penalty or fee!
    • If you know you need to drop numbers, please contact yfccamp@yfc.net with those changes as soon as you are aware, so we can adjust your registration.
      • EXAMPLE: If in March, 100 people were registered – then you are allowed a drop of 10 people after your middle payment and before the first day of your camp. This is a clean drop – no more “Non-Refundable” fees of the past!
    • What if I drop more than 10%?
      • For any number of spots you drop below the 10%, you will be charged at 75% of the published camp price.
      • EXAMPLE: You register for 100, but only bring 80. You pay the full camp price for 80, and 75% of the camp price for 10. If $360 per person is the full price…
        • $360pp x 80 = $28,800
        • ($360 * 75% = $270) x 10 = $2,700
        • Total Bill = $31,500
  10. What if I add more to my registration after March 15?
    • FIRST, contact yfccamp@yfc.net to inquire about additional availability. If there is space to add, camp will gladly confirm the additions and add them to your registration.
    • You will receive an invoice for the sum of the deposit and middle payment for each additional registration. 
    • Your new adjusted number becomes the total registered number of which you are now allowed to drop 10%.
    • EXAMPLE: You add 10 more spots to your 100. New total is 110 and are now allowed to drop a maximum of 11 (10%).
  11. Final Payment is due within 30 days of camp. You will receive your final invoice from NSC Accounts Receivable department soon after camp. Do not bring money to camp with you.
    • All final adjustments to numbers, additional fees for adult guests, Project Serve group adjustments, etc. will be made once that information is received from camp. Final invoices for that camp will then be sent out and expected to be paid within 30 days of billing. A finance charge will be assessed on excessively late payments.
