1. What forms of payment do you accept?

Cash, Checks (made payable to the Town of Flower Mound), American Express, Discover, Visa, and MasterCard. 

2. Is my $30 down payment applied to my session fee or is this an additional fee?

All down payments are applied towards the session you are registering for. (i.e. Explorer Camp is $160/session for CAC Members. After $30 down payment is paid, $130 will be due the Monday prior to the session start date). If you are registering for all 10 sessions, your down payment will be $300 ($30 x 10 sessions) due at time of registration.

3. If my child is not a Member of the CAC at time of registration, may I receive a prorated refund at a later date if they do become a member?

No. No refunds will be granted to individuals who become a Member of the CAC after they have registered. To receive the CAC Member rate, the camper must be a Member at the time of registration.

4. What is your refund policy?

Refunds, credits, or transfers to another class or camp will be granted, other than as set forth herein, when requested at least five (5) business days prior to the start date of the class or camp, less the $30 down payment. Refunds requested less than (5) business days prior to the start of camp, or after the camp has started, will not be granted. Failure to attend a registered camp will be considered a forfeiture of materials supplied and all fees paid. The Parks and Recreation Division reserves the right to cancel, combine or divide classes, to change times, dates, class locations, or instructor assignments, and to make other revisions in these offerings. In the event the Parks and Recreation Division cancels a camp, a full refund or credit will be issued, including the down payment.
