Payment and Refund Policy
FURTHER EXPLANATION ON TUITION & PASS FEES
Board and accommodation, international travel, local transportation, and accident and health insurance are NOT included in the listed tuition fee.
An adult companion of an enrolled non-adult student must purchase an Essential Companion Pass to access the camp's key events, including all performances, rehearsals, and the social lunch. The Essential Companion Pass holder can also shadow the non-adult student at all private and group lessons, as long as classroom space allows.
A family member of an enrolled student who only needs limited engagement with the camp's events as an observer must buy an Observer Pass to gain access to all rehearsals and performances. Observer Pass holders are NOT allowed to be present in classrooms or at the social lunch.
HOW TO MAKE PAYMENTS
For U.S. domestic applicants, tuition payment via Zelle is preferred. Scala Arts’ Zelle account details will be provided in the camp admission notice.
For applicants outside the U.S., international wire transfers are preferred. Wiring instructions will be provided along with the camp admission notice.
All payment transactions must be made in U.S. Dollars (USD). No other currency will be accepted. Checks are not accepted.
TUITION PAYMENT DEADLINE
The full amount must be paid by March 5, 2027, to secure an applicant's spot in the camp. Late payments may result in an applicant's spot being offered to someone on the waitlist. Once an offer is extended to a waitlisted applicant, this process is irreversible.
REFUND & CANCELLATION POLICY
All tuition payments are strictly non-refundable. Exceptions will be considered only in the event of a severe illness—affecting either the enrolled participant or their sole familial travel companion—that precludes travel, or in cases of force majeure that severely disrupt international travel and camp operations.
Scala Arts reserves the right to make necessary programmatic adjustments, up to and including complete cancellation, in the event of unforeseen circumstances. "Unforeseen circumstances" refers to any event beyond Scala Arts' reasonable control that prevents the camp from proceeding as planned. Such events include, but are not limited to, natural disasters, venue unavailability, acute health and safety risks, and critical technological failures.
If Scala Arts must cancel a participant's enrollment or rescind an offer of admission due to unforeseen circumstances, all paid tuition will be fully refunded. Application fees remain non-refundable.
