**Additional criteria apply to Travel Trips. Please see below for a full list of eligibility requirements.
Travel Trip Eligibility
Campers must meet the following general criteria to be eligible for Travel Camp:
- Do well at a supervision ratio of one staff member to three campers (1:3) – 1:1 supervision is not available on Travel Camp;
- Ages 13+;
- Be excellent at listening to and following directions;
- Good at staying with a group, with no tendencies to wander or elope;
- Not exhibit significant behavioral challenges, particularly aggression of any kind;
- Demonstrate appropriate behavior in community settings;
- Independent, or almost completely independent, with personal care/toileting/hygiene needs (i.e. little to no assistance needed, besides verbal prompts or reminders);
- Physically capable of sleeping outdoors on sleeping mats/in tents (applicable to camping trips);
- Physically capable of participating in outdoor activities, in the elements, such as light to moderate hiking.
- Be able to tolerate being in the community for extended periods of time, including navigating crowded public spaces, participating in long sightseeing days, and managing transitions between multiple activities or locations throughout the day
We strongly encourage – and in many cases require – new campers to attend an overnight event at Camp Krem before participating in a travel trip. This allows our staff to assess whether the camper is a good fit for the structure, expectations, and independence required for a travel experience.
Transportation
Bus Transportation Costs – Applies to: ALL camper families – RC, SDP, and Private Pay
- Bus transportation fees are:
- $153.46 one way
- $306.92 round trip
- Bus transportation fees will be charged upon signing up for Camp Krem bus transportation for an event.
Regional Center Clients:
Due to changes at the DDS (State of California) level, Regional Center transportation funding has been reduced, and families are now responsible for most bus transportation costs for events held at Camp Krem Yosemite. Camp Krem receives $80.80 per camper per month in transportation funding directly from Regional Center upon submission and approval of a transportation POS. With POS approval, the remaining parent share of cost for bus transportation will be $72.67 one way and $226.12 round trip. If a Regional Center camper rides the bus for more than one event in the same month, the full bus transportation rate will apply to additional events.
Cancellation Policy:
Once your camper’s enrollment has been confirmed, you will have five days to notify us if you no longer wish for them to participate, without incurring a fee. Cancellations after that point will incur a fee of $250 for 1:1 supervision, and $150 for 1:3 supervision. Please see the COVID-19 exception to this policy, below.
COVID-19 Exception:
If your camper tests positive for or exhibits symptoms of COVID-19, or comes into contact with somebody who has tested positive, within ten days of their camp session, they will not be able to come to Camp. In this case, we will waive the cancellation fee and issue you a full refund, or work with you on getting your camper into a different camp session.
Cancellation Policy for Air Travel Trips:
Please note that once flights are booked, any cancellation will result in a cancellation fee equal to the full cost of the airfare. This is because airline tickets are non-transferable, and we’re unable to replace a cancelled camper with another participant once travel has been booked. Camper families are therefore responsible for covering airfare costs if a cancellation occurs after booking. We require a credit card on file to sign up for travel trips.
