Transfers of camp weeks are allowed (pending availability) any time prior to your start date, and you will receive priority over those on the waitlist. Transfers do not apply to one-day camps or Kids’ Night Out (KNO) events.

All billing questions, refund, or transfer requests must be submitted in writing to Kerri@soflykids.com.

In the rare event of a program shutdown due to unforeseen circumstances, families will be offered a 100% So Fly Kids credit for future use or a 50% refund to the card on file. This is due to the year-round nature of planning, including advance payments for field trips, supplies, and staffing.​

​

Does my Camper need to be Potty Trained?

Yes! This is REQUIRED! 

For the health, safety, and dignity of all campers, children must be fully potty-trained and able to use the restroom independently, including wiping themselves. Our staff are not permitted to assist with toileting or wiping due to licensing, liability, and health considerations.

If a child has an accident or is unable to wipe themselves, we will call a parent or guardian to return to camp and assist their child. Repeated issues may require withdrawal from the program until the camper is fully independent in this area.
