No-shows

The Dogpatch Community Hub strives to offer as many children as possible the opportunity to attend summer camp and have an enriching camp experience. As such, we take no-shows seriously.

​

If you are unable to take advantage of the camp, kindly let us know via phone or email as soon as possible so we may offer the slot to another eligible child.

If we do not receive notice of cancellation, it is possible your child may not be considered for future scholarship opportunities.
