Returnees

It is important that the first time you use the system you read and follow the step by step instructions below the policy reminders exactly.

 If you are a First time returnee or a newly returning camper after a lengthy absence please read below carefully first as we are doing things a bit differently now like many businesses ‘post’ covid. 

We are now registering returnee campers only by QUARTER instead of by 4 week session.  Fall and Winter Quarters are 3 ‘sessions’ long – or  12 weeks.  Spring/Summer Quarter is 16 weeks with break weeks every 4 weeks.

—>Note that there is a payment plan avail to pay every 4 weeks still if you can’t pay the full quarter all at once, but you still need to commit in advance for the full quarter when you register in the system.  Also there is a full time or a part time quarter long ‘membership’ option.  The part time option will help you account for travel and work absences during the quarter that you already know are on your calendar. 

We have gone to a quarterly registration membership plan to help maintain and foster the container of our unique fitness camp community and puts the focus on longer term committed campers and a more stable container for the camp community.  This limits the number of times we offer entry for brand new and newly returned campers so that we can also work closer together over a longer period of time (without taking a step back to ramp up and integrate new campers into our community based fitness groups at the start of each 4 week session).  Focusing on our returnee community also makes our program much more possible to sustain administratively and financially long term.  That said, if you are a returnee seeing this after the quarter start please feel free to contact Jessica anytime to discuss an alternative entry point for your situation – there may be a chance of an opening for you during the quarter… depending on the timing, and our current class roster (note there is usually a second entry for Spring/Summer Quarter if space allows since it is 16 weeks long).

Registration is open now for our Back to the Park SPRING/SUMMER QUARTER! 

The quarter runs MON April 21 –  THURS AUGUST 21, 2025.  You can view our downloadable google calendar here   to check out our full season schedule.  We now have Yoga with Julia integrated into the program and held every other Wed during our Spring/Summer park season and break week dates.  You can also review when there are break weeks.  

If there is space in the roster there will be a second entry for our park season on May 19.  Registration for second entry will not be open until after the quarter starts, but please do reach out now if you want to be notified when second entry opens.

Also unfortunately our current financials are indicating that we really must make a cost of doing business increase for the 2025 park season to help cover all the things – the per class cost of camp is going up $1 per day to $15/day  for full time membership and $17/day for part time membership.

 

As always please do reach out if you or someone else you know who is willing and able otherwise to be a committed booty camper has a change in circumstance and/or a need for a partial scholarship to be able to participate… I have never wanted money to be the reason to not see a committed campers face at camp.  Thank you so much for your understanding and support for keeping this program available and accessible for southend women now and into the future.

***IMPORTANT POLICY REMINDERS:

Camp session days are not refundable after the session starts and camp days purchased for any quarter EXPIRE at the end of that quarter:
In this way we are able to keep the per class cost low, keep our administrative overhead down, and offer scholarships to those that need financial help.  We MAY offer you some credit on a case by case basis in situations of serious family emergency or injury and illness lasting more than a week. We do not offer credit for changes in your work schedule, a sudden vacation, or the odd flu bug that we all get here and there. You must contact us in writing within a week of the first day of absence and before the start of the next session to be considered for a special circumstances credit. We tend to be rather generous perhaps to a fault! …but it is best for the overall business and our ability to offer scholarships and respond to serious needs if we can keep credit reserved for the longer and more serious situations. We ask that you consider this when requesting.

Dangerous Roads and Weather Policy:
We do not offer credit for days when the elemental powers that be have rendered our roads unsafe for travel to camp or we have to cancel a camp day due to fire smoke or storm/snow/ice hazard.  In the past 17 years of camp we have had 5  cancellation days, and numerous free extra extra organized events, workouts and socials. Cancellation decisions will be sent in email by 5:30 am on the morning of any suspected cancellation decision.

Whew, thanks for reading!  On to registration….!

There are two purchase options for the 16 week Winter Quarter.  You can pay in full or setup an autopayment plan in Mindbody to pay over the course of 4 months.

– Full time Membership (4 days per week, or the 64 days of the full 16 week spring/summer quarter): The benefits of choosing this option are: super simple one time registration, you won’t worry about having to manage your days in the Mindbody system, and have total flexibility to come any and every day of camp.  Full time membership is $15 per day or a total of $960 for the 2025 spring/summer quarter.  If you are joining at second entry on May 19 your total will be 48 days @ $15 for a total of $720.  Extra credit bonus – you are also supporting all things booty camp and access for more women for the long term sustainability of camp!

– Part time Membership –  Note that this option is one set membership price for the 16 weeks quarter for up to 48 days for a total of $817.  Pricing per day works out to be $17/day if you attend an average of 3 days per week (or 48 days) over the course of the quarter – or a bit more if you attend somewhere between 24 (2 days per week) – 48 days.  You have total flexibility to choose your days to help account for any work/vacation absences over the course of the season (for example you could come 4 days one week and two days the next or even come full time for 8 weeks and be gone for 2 weeks over the course of the session).  You must manage your days in the Mindbody system – if you have changes during the quarter you will simply delete the one you no longer want under ‘My Schedule’ before the class starts and then add the new day to your schedule under the Book Training tab.  Note if you are joining us at second entry on May 19 your part time membership total will be 36 days available for $612.
