Summer Camp Refunds

Registrants must request all refunds on a 2023 Summer Camp Refund form which can be downloaded at brec.org/summercamp or picked up at your summer camp location. Completed forms must be emailed to summercamps@brec.org.  

If a registrant requests a refund more than 10 business days prior to the start of the session, BREC will issue the full session fee minus a $15 transaction fee. If a registrant requests a refund 10 business days or less from the start of the session, BREC will not issue a refund. All checks must clear the bank before BREC processes any refunds. BREC does not issue a refund for any session already in progress. Please allow 3-4 weeks for BREC to issue a refund after the refund form has been submitted. Addresses must be legible and up to date to avoid any delay with the refund process. Refunds will be distributed to the payee named on the BREC summer camp payment receipt.

Assessments

All campers with a diagnosed disability must undergo an assessment with a BREC Adaptive staff member. The assessment must be completed prior to starting camp. Assessments are essential for our campers to have a successful experience at camp. Assessments are required prior to registration for all Sunshine Camps.

Assessments are held in person at Nairn Drive Park

Mondays / Jan. 23-May 10 / 3:30-5:30 p.m. 

Wednesdays / March 6-May 10 / 3:30-5:30 p.m.

No assessments will be held on Feb. 20 

After May 10 assessments are by appointment only. (No assessments will be scheduled between June 5-9.)

To set up an assessment or for questions, email recadaptive@brec.org.

Camp BREC Bus Stops

This summer, Camp BREC is offering a brand-new transportation service for all Community Recreation camps to assist parents and guardians in getting their campers to the main camp location. Each camp location will offer one to three bus stops at nearby BREC parks for drop off and pick up each morning and evening of camp. Bus Stop locations will be chosen during the camp registration process but can be altered after the start of camp. Parents and guardians will be required to stay with his or her camper until the bus and camp counselor arrives for pick up.  For more information and details on the Camp BREC Bus Stops visit brec.org/summercamp or email campbrec@brec.org.
