4. Children’s Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
While our camps are designed for children and teens ages 6 to 17, our website is intended for use by parents and legal guardians. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13 online. All camper information, including medical and personal details, must be submitted by a parent or legal guardian through our enrollment portal. If we learn that we have collected personal information directly from a child without parental consent, we will delete that information immediately.
5. Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal information—especially sensitive medical and financial data—from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, please be aware that no data transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, remember your login details for the Parent/Staff Dashboards, and analyze site traffic. We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, to understand how visitors use our site. It collects information such as the pages you visit, how you arrived, and your device and browser type. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. You can also choose to disable cookies through your web browser settings, but doing so may affect your ability to use certain features of our site (such as the enrollment portal or online shop).
7. Your Rights and Choices
- Account Access: You may review, update, or correct your family’s information at any time by logging into your Parent Dashboard.
- Opt-Out: You may opt out of receiving promotional emails from us by following the unsubscribe instructions included in those emails. You will, however, continue to receive essential administrative emails regarding your child’s camp registration.
