Registration Information

OUR CAMP COMMUNITY

The Takodah community is made up of a diverse group of individuals who strive to live by our motto, “Friendly to All.” Together, we work to ensure that everyone, regardless of cultural background, ethnicity, faith, gender, gender identity, ideology, income, national origin, race, or sexual orientation, has the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve with dignity.

NORTH CAMP VS. SOUTH CAMP

In order to maintain separate boys+ and girls+ programs, we have two different sites within the same campus: South Camp and North Camp. Click here to read about the different nuances of each site.

FAMILY COMMUNICATION POLICY

We strive to model our values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility in our communications with parents/guardians. We expect the same from parents/guardians in their interactions with our staff. If a parent/guardian is unwilling to engage in a productive and respectful conversation with Takodah staff members, we reserve the right to cancel their child’s registration and dismiss their child from summer camp without a refund.

REGISTRATION

All registrations must be accompanied by a $50 deposit per child per session. A valid email address is required for registration.

For your convenience, you can also register by phone at 603-352-0447. Please have your camper’s name, date of birth, and grade level handy, as well as your Mastercard, Discover, or Visa ($50 deposit per session due upon registration).

CANCELLATION AND REFUND

The deposit is fully refundable until February 14. All other payments are refundable until May 31. Refunds are not available starting on June 1 for any reason, even for campers who arrive late, depart early, cancel, or are dismissed from the program. 

Please pay special attention to our Essential Eligibility Criteria. Frequently, when a child cannot complete a session at Camp Takodah successfully, it’s because they didn’t meet the requirements for participation.

To provide a safe and positive experience for all campers, we expect honesty and transparency from parents/guardians about their children. If it becomes clear that a parent/guardian did not provide full information about their child, we reserve the right to cancel their registration and dismiss them from summer camp with no refund.

We want to provide some context so you understand why Camp Takodah and most summer camps have this same policy. Camp Takodah is a nonprofit organization. We rely solely on tuition and donations to bring our mission to life. With our mission in mind, we strive to keep our tuition as low as possible and provide financial support to families in need. Even when summer camp is at full capacity, we generate just enough revenue to sustain our facilities and program. In addition, there are no direct expenses associated with individual campers. In other words, when a camper needs to leave camp early (for whatever reason), our expenses do not decrease. We still have the same number of staff, provide the same amount of food, order the same program supplies, pay the same utility bills, and so on. Therefore, if we refunded tuition for campers who needed to leave early, we would no longer have the revenue required to keep our doors open. We are transparent about this policy by referencing it multiple times throughout the registration process. If you have questions about the policy, please get in touch with the Camp Office.

PAYMENTS

We accept payment by cash, check, money order, Discover, MasterCard, and Visa. Families may pay in full during registration or make payments according to the schedule below. We ask families who do not pay in full to authorize automatic debit/credit payments.

If a family has not paid in full by May 31, their spot will be given away to another camper on the waiting list. If a camper’s spot is given away, any payments made will not be refunded.

PAYMENT SCHEDULE

A deposit of $50 per session due upon registration. There are three payment schedules available to families. 

  • Pay in full
  • 2 Installments – 50% of the balance paid on March 15, remaining 50% paid on May 15
  • Monthly Installments – tuition will be divided monthly on the 15th starting in January

CABIN-MATE REQUESTS

We make every effort to honor requests in ways that maintain the integrity of our “Friendly to All” emphasis on helping campers make new friends. Cabin mate requests are reserved for NEW CAMPERS ONLY. Each new camper is allowed one cabin mate request as long as they follow the proper procedures. We cannot accommodate more than one request per camper under any circumstance.

In making cabin mate requests, families need to follow these guidelines:

  • Each camper may only request one other camper
  • Both campers must request each other
  • Both campers must be at the same camp and of the same age— if one camper is older, they must drop down to the younger cabin
  • Both requests must be made in writing during the registration process or in an email to the Camp Office at least three weeks before your session
  • Twins will be put into separate cabins.

Camp Takodah is not able to make cabin changes on Opening Days for any reason.

TRANSPORTATION

Parents/guardians are responsible for providing their campers transportation to/from Camp Takodah at their own expense. If your child is flying to camp, we can provide transportation for them from the Boston Logan International Airport ($100 round-trip) during the following time-frames only:

  • Opening Days: 10:30 AM – 2:30 PM
  • Closing Days: 2:00 – 6:00 PM

If you prefer to send your camper outside these time frames, you’re responsible for securing your transportation to Camp Takodah.

Please contact the Camp Office at least three weeks before your session to arrange transportation and pay the transportation fees. 

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE (CAMPERSHIPS)

2025 Campership applications will be available in late fall. We are committed to giving kids the resources they need to reach their potential — and providing their families with access and support to attend Camp Takodah programs. Campership Request Applications are due no later than February 14. For more information on our Campership Program, please get in touch with the Camp Office.
