REFUND POLICY
Cancellations from the Catalyst Performance Camps on or before the Camp start date will receive a refund of the paid amount.

Each individual Camper is responsible for the entire fee and any other costs or charges incurred by him/her at the Camp.
The obligation to pay these costs will not be reduced due to withdrawal or absence from the camp for any cause, including injury.
I understand that I am responsible for the full fee and any other charges I incurred at the Camp. I also understand that expulsion, withdrawal, or absence for any cause, including injury, will not reduce this responsibility. I further understand that I am not entitled to a refund if I am expelled or withdrawn or am absent from any portion of the camp, including withdrawal or absence caused by injury.
