Registration Policy

Pre-Registration Deposit (also known as Early Registration)

Pre-Registration Deposit is designed to allow attending campers of LYF Camp 2025 to hold a spot for LYF Camp 2026 with a $500 deposit. This year, Pre-Registration opens at 12:00PM Pacific Time on Saturday, January 31st, 2026.

Parents who have already paid the Pre-Registration Deposit have the option to:

1. Refund the $500 deposit ($25 non-refundable processing fee applies) and give up their spot for LYF Camp 2026 OR
2. Pay an additional $975 to confirm a spot at LYF Camp 2026

The deadline to choose an option is 11:59PM on Friday, February 13th, 2026.

If you’ve pre-registered but do not complete full registration by February 13th, 2026, your $500 will be automatically refunded to you in the original payment form (minus $25 payment processing fee) and you will lose the spot guaranteed to you through Pre-Registration.

If you decide to register later on, you may still register through general or late registration.

General Registration / Late Registration

General Registration opens at 12PM noon on Sunday, February 15th, 2026. Registration will be conducted on a first come, first serve basis. Once spots are filled, campers will be added onto a waitlist.

• General Registration Price (until March 31st, 2026): $1,475
• Late Registration Price (after March 31st, 2026): $1,575

At TACL-LYF, we try to set camp pricing at a fair level that can sustain our organization and ensure a high quality of experience while staying accessible to all who are interested in attending. We recognize that attendees come from different financial backgrounds so we offer financial aid to reduce the cost of camp. If financial aid would allow your child the opportunity to experience LYF camp, please contact us at lyf@tacl.org.

Cancellations due to COVID or Sickness

If your child tests positive for COVID-19 or feels sick enough to stay home from school, please do not come to camp and contact us ASAP via email at lyf@tacl.org.

If your child is sick in the 72 hours prior to camp, please do not come to camp. We will unfortunately not be issuing refunds for cancellation due to contracting illness including COVID so we ask families to exercise as much caution as possible leading up to camp.

Health Policy

Covid-19 Vaccination

For LYF Camp 2026, we highly recommend that all participants (campers and staff) are fully vaccinated. However, this will not be a requirement for attending camp.

Please contact us at lyf@tacl.org if you have any questions or concerns.

Masking

Masks will be optional for everyone at camp. However, masks will be required whenever individuals display any symptoms such as coughs, runny nose, etc.

Campers that prefer to wear masks during camp should pack their own disposable masks.

Testing

Either a PCR test or rapid antigen test within 24 hours of camp drop-off must be conducted. Please take a photo of the negative test, as you will need to show this at check in.

If your child tests positive or feels sick, please contact us ASAP via email at lyf@tacl.org.

We recommend families limit contact with other people prior to camp. If your child is sick in the 72 hours prior to camp, please do not come to camp. We will not be issuing refunds for cancellation due to contracting illness including COVID so we ask families to exercise as much caution as possible leading up to camp.

General Ailment Response Plan

If a participant shows any signs of serious sickness (ie. coughing with fever/chills, vomiting, etc.), we will immediately notify the parent/guardian and nurse. If the symptoms continue or worsen, LYF medical staff may contact the camper’s parent/guardian for immediate pick-up.

COVID-19 Response Plan

If a participant shows signs of COVID-19 (ie. coughing, fever etc.), we will perform a COVID-19 rapid antigen test. We will notify the individual’s parents and have them pick him/her up if they test positive. If a participant tests negative, we will continue to follow the “General Ailment Response Plan” and continue administering COVID-19 tests as necessary.

If the camper tests positive for COVID-19, parents will need to make arrangements to pick up the camper as soon as possible.

In the event of camp cancellation due to a COVID-19 outbreak or individual campers being sent home due to any ailments, TACL-LYF will not issue refunds.

Communications

In the event that your child needs to be sent home early for any reason, you will be immediately notified and expected to pick up your child as soon as possible. Parents/guardians should be prepared to make arrangements in advance.
