Cancellations, Refunds & Inclement Weather Policy

Due to the high demand for camp and class spaces, all sales will be considered final.

In the event a camp or scout class does not meet the minimum enrollment, the museum reserves the right to cancel. If a camp or class is cancelled by the Museum because it did not meet minimum enrollment, patrons will have the option to transfer to another camp or class or receive a full refund.

In the event of a camp or scout class cancellation due to inclement weather, including the period of time required to re-open the facilities after the immediate weather incident has passed, there will be no refunds or exchanges.

Other restrictions:

  • Registrations are not transferable from child to child
  • Patrons who cancel a camp or class or want to switch their child from one camp or class to another will receive a 50% refund of the cost of a cancelled or dropped camp or class if notification is received at least 10 business days before that camp or class is scheduled to start.
  • In order to receive the 50% refund, patrons must contact the Education Department in writing. Email: summercamp@hmns.org or scouts@hmns.org.

  • There are no refunds for camps or scout classes dropped less than 10 days before the camp or class begins.
