If you will be running late to pick up your child, please call 724-228-9256 to let us know as soon as possible.
What is your refund/cancellation policy?
The Pennsylvania Trolley Museum reserves the right to cancel any program due to insufficient registration, inclement weather, or other unforeseen circumstances. In the event of a full week cancellation, all participants will be given the opportunity to switch to a different week of camp (pending availability) or be issued a full refund. Any cancellations due to insufficient registration will be communicated at least two weeks prior to the start of the camp date.
A registered participant may cancel their summer camp registration at any time up to 60 days prior to the start of the camp by providing written notice to the museum. Within 30-60 days of the start of the camp, a participant can receive a 75% refund. Within 30-14 days of the start of the event, a participant can receive a 50% refund. No refunds will be issued for cancellations made within two weeks of the starting date of camp.
What other information do you need once my child has been registered for camp?
As we approach the start of the summer camp season, a Summer Camp Information Letter will be emailed out to all registered participants. This letter will include important information about pick-up, drop-off, and also provide a general overview of the camp day.
This letter will also contain a digital Summer Camp Registration Form. This form must be completed in order for your child to attend summer camp. We ask that this form be filled out no later than one week before the start of your child’s camp.
Where should I arrive to pick up or drop off my child for camp?
Camp will be at our new Welcome and Education Center this year! The address is 1 Electric Way, Washington, PA 15301. Please use the Groups Entrance, located on the side of the building.
Do I need anything when I pick my child up?
Yes. We require photo identification to release your child to the proper adult. No child will be released from our care without proper identification.
