Is the tuition refundable?DaVinci Camp Summer Institute requires a deposit of $500 per session. Deposits, less an administrative fee of $100, are refundable until May 12, 2024.

If a registered student is unable to attend the program, a parent or legal guardian must withdraw the student in writing and may request a tuition refund. Tuition, minus a $100 administrative fee, is refundable until May 12, 2024. All refund requests after this date will be subject to the DaVinci Camp Summer Institute Refund Schedule included in the student’s acceptance package. No refund is provided if the cancellation request is received anytime after May 19, 2024, or of course after camp has begun. Please note that students who violate the DaVinci Camp Summer Institute Student Code of Conduct will be dismissed from the program without a refund.
