UPDATE 3/14/2012 Registration for 2012
At the present time the Mini Canes Camp is full for summer 2012.  We are taking completed enrollment packets and WAIT LISTING campers.

 
Parents will be called when an opening is available. 

Registration for 2012

Registration for camp 2012 will not include a lottery or random draw. New campers of University of Miami affiliates and outside community members must now register for camp in person at the Herbert Wellness Center on the specified dates. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis provided space is available. Returning camper registration will remain the same.

Returning Camper Registration: February 20 - March 9

UM Affiliates (New Campers) Registration: March 19

Outside Community (New Campers) Registration: April 2

Completed enrollment packets for eligible registrants will be accepted between registration dates provided space is available. Packets must be delivered to the Mini Canes office in person.

Registration Procedures

Camp is a tuition-for-service program based on confirmed enrollments and secured deposits.  A $75 non-refundable/non-transferable deposit is required at the time of registration for each confirmed two-week session.  A camp T-shirt will be provided when the deposit is made. Registration without a complete enrollment packet will NOT be accepted. 

A complete enrollment packet includes:
  • enrollment form
  • current picture
  • parental consent form
  • health history form
  • birth certificate (only 6 year old campers)


Camper enrollment packets must be delivered in person to the Mini Canes office, room 210 of the Patti and Allan Herbert Wellness Center, M-F, 7:30 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. Enrollment packets will not be accepted prior to the appropriate registration window and/or deadline. Phone, fax, and mail registrations will not be accepted. Misrepresentation or falsification of any information (birth date, grade, etc.) whether intentional or unintentional is grounds for denial of registration. Campers are assigned to groups based on their grade level in school for fall 2012.

Camp enrollment does not entitle parents or participants to use the Patti and Allan Herbert Wellness Center or its facilities for any purpose other than the day camp.

Registration 2012 Deadlines

Registration deadlines are based on camper status and University of Miami affiliation. Priority is given in the following order: returning campers, siblings of returning campers (regardless of previous camper status), University of Miami affiliates, and outside community. Registrants who miss their initial registration deadline are eligible to register on a subsequent registration date.

NOTE: DEPOSITS ARE REQUIRED AT TIME OF REGISTRATION.

Deposits and Cancellation Policy

The deposit will hold a camp reservation until 9 weeks before the start of each session. Full payment must be received by the Monday, 9 weeks prior to the start of the session, to hold the camper’s place (see front cover for dates). If full payment is not received by this time, your reservation(s) will be canceled. All requests to cancel a camper from a session MUST be submitted in writing to the office. The following criteria are used to determine the amount of money refunded to the parent if a cancellation is requested. It is the parent’s responsibility to follow-up in writing with the camp office on any cancellation.

  • Nine weeks or more prior to the enrolled camp session: only the non-refundable $75 deposit is retained
  • Less than nine weeks but more than eight days prior to the enrolled camp session: a $100 cancellation fee is charged and the nonrefundable $75 deposit is retained
  • No refund will be given to a cancellation request made seven or fewer days before the camp session begins.

Camp staff reserves the right to cancel any session or modify activities due to under-enrollment, facility problems, staffing concerns, or circumstances beyond its control (i.e. rain, pool problems, and electrical outages). Parents will be notified immediately if a session is altered in any way.
