I registered my child for a 3 week summer camp at CTY in February. The camp was scheduled for July. By April my child got a better summer option so I decided to withdraw him from CTY. I got refunded the amount I paid minus 1,100 dollars for "administrative fees" (they say).
I understand that these are the rules they imposed and everything is in writing in the contract but I stllI have to say there's no reason in the world that justify them keeping so much money.
When I called to get my refund I was told it was going to take some time because they have a long list of withdrawals to process. So a lot of other parents are in a similar situation than me. I think with so many withdrawals this is becoming another part of their business. Charging these extremely high withdrawal fees.
CTY camps are good but unfortunately they treat it a pure business. Trying to extract the maxumum amount of money from the parents.
Just be careful when you enroll your child in one of these camps. They'll pressure you to register your child soon with the excuse that you can lose your spot but actually most of these camps are still available even in summer.
