Challenger will ship the replacement items back at no additional cost in appreciation of your business .

Program refunds and refund protection

On all week-long summer camps the Releasees will offer a refund protection option during checkout that covers anyone in the result of injury/illness. This includes residential camps. The terms and conditions of that refund protection policy will be communicated separately and are also listed below.  

We will use the same policy as above on our year-round Club Partner and Programs (previously referred to as “Academy”). These cover but are not limited to TinyTykes, Next Level Training, Next Level Skills Leagues, Holiday Programs, After School Programs and Futsal Programs.

The Releasees reserve the right to withhold this refund protection option on specific programs on a case by case basis. If the option is not present during online checkout then it is not available to the parent and cannot be purchased. It also will not be offered retrospectively.

If a parent does not opt into this policy during checkout then unfortunately no refund will be offered in the event of injury/illness.

Terms of refund protection- 

  1. A parent in most cases can opt in during checkout and will be charged 7% per program.
  2. The opt in opportunity applies to each program you sign up, including any bonus sessions (eg. Overtime)
  3. This is the only way to opt in and it is only available during online checkout.
  4. If you have purchased this policy and your child has an injury/illness then you can contact our customer service department to speak to someone about making a refund claim. Be prepared to show proof of injury/illness and please note again that injury/illness are the only situations covered. Any other reason for cancellation is not covered by the policy (see options below if this pertains to you). 
    1. Call: 1-800-878-2167 ext 280
    2. Email: info@challengersports.com 
  5. The standard of proof that we will ask for is to provide a note from a medical provider, as well as providing a signed statement from a parent or legal guardian confirming that this note is genuine and based upon the opinion of a medical professional*. If you are able to satisfy these 2 requirements then a full refund will be issued. Our senior management team will make the final decision on any disputed claims.

Cancellations by a parent if refund protection is declined, not available or due to any other reason outside of injury/illness will be handled as follow:

If a customer cancels their weeklong day camp* at least 30 days prior to the start of camp then they will be eligible to claim Account Credit. A refund will not be issued. No Account Credit will be available if they cancel within 30 days of camp. *See exceptions below for our Elite Camps.

On our year-round Club Partner and Programs (previously referred to as “Academy”) the same terms will apply as on our weeklong day camps above, the only exception is that Account Credit is still available for anyone who cancels up to 14 days before the start date of their program. 

On our Elite residential camps (which typically run Sunday- Thursday), a $250 deposit is required at the time of registration. The remainder of fees will be collected via recurring payments until the balance is paid off.  Any registration canceled more than 30 days before the camp start date will be entitled to a refund of all monies up to but not including the deposit amount. Any registration canceled within 30 days of the camp start date will not be eligible for a refund of any kind, but instead will receive a credit to their account valid for a period of one year, minus the deposit fee.

On our Elite day camps, a $100 deposit is required at the time of registration. The remainder of fees will be collected via recurring payments until the balance is paid off. Any registration canceled more than 30 days before the camp start date will be entitled to a refund of all monies up to but not including the deposit amount. Any registration canceled within 30 days of the camp start date will not be eligible for a refund of any kind, but instead will receive a credit to their account valid for a period of one year, minus the deposit fee.

Cancellations initiated by the Releasees will entitle all registered participants to a full refund, minus any merchandise purchased and already sent out. This refund will not include any processing fees incurred during checkout.

As regards Elite Camps, any student who must leave camp due to illness (including COVID-19 or exposure to it) or injury will receive no refund, but may receive a camp credit determined by subtracting the deposit from the cost of camp and prorating the remaining sum by the number of sessions missed. Students who arrive late to camp, leave camp early, or miss any portion of the camp for reasons other than sickness or injury will receive no refund and no credit. Any student found to be in violation of our camp rules will be dismissed immediately without refund or credit, and ineligible to attend any of these camps in the future.

The Releasees will make every effort to make up for time lost to bad weather, wildfires or other acts of God on all of our programs. There will be no refunds due to time lost in these situations. They will also from August 2021 onwards adhere to their own Air Quality and Excessive Heat Policy Guidelines. These guidelines also include a reference as to when programs will or will not continue due to Air Quality. There will be no refunds due to time lost in these situations. 

From 2022 the Releasees are classifying any participant restrictions due to COVID-19 as falling under the “injury/illness” category and any refund protection (if purchased) claims will follow the guidelines stated above.

As regards any virtual program or offering, whether live or on demand, special consideration for any refund claim may be given in those circumstances due to technical difficulties outside of the customer’s control, but each case will be considered on its own merits. 

Please note the policies above covers registrations made through the Releasees’ registration platform (Configio/Community Brands). If you have registered through an external group using their registration system or by any other method then you would be bound by their terms and conditions first and foremost. The information on this page is designed to act as a guideline but ultimately the policy, terms and conditions in place for each individual purchase will be made available during online checkout and via confirmation emails, and these 2 methods will override anything listed on this site.

Donations are non-refundable.
