Starfish has always considered agency and community organization support vital to the funding process for camp. Our staff will work directly with you, and your agency workers at these organizations, to help you secure tuition funds on a case-by-case basis. Simply complete the Agency Support Form, located on the application page or in your CampMinder account, and return to our Year-Round Office. Starfish will provide you with invoices, copies of documentation, and anything else you need to ensure that the agency has a complete file for your financial request. In many cases, Starfish and the agency are able to communicate directly about this without involving you. However, the responsibility for following up with the agency and ensuring that your child’s tuition is paid in a timely manner ultimately lies with you. Oftentimes the dates of tuition due for the camp session and the agency’s fiscal year do not match, and that’s okay. In other cases, agencies will not be able to make a full payment until your camper has finished their session. Starfish is happy to be flexible in these situations and wait for payment, so long as your camper’s agency worker can forward, on agency letterhead, a promissory note, signed by a supervisor with fiscal responsibility at the agency. This will allow us to advance payment dates further into the summer. Please note that all campers must have a specific and agreed-upon payment plan in their file prior to the first day of camp. There are no exceptions – either full payment must be made, or an Agreement with an agency signature must be on file. Otherwise, Starfish will expect you to make the remainder of the payment and then be reimbursed directly by your agency or, if the agency will only send a check to Starfish, we will reimburse you directly upon receiving the payment in the fall.
