Select a category to find answers to common questions.
How do I register? (No paper applications)
Paper applications are NOT available. All registrations must be completed through CampDoc.
Requirements: You need an email address, full personal/medical info, and payment details (Credit/Debit card or Bank Routing/Account numbers). If you do not have a card, you may use a prepaid card from a retail store.
What is the order for registering a family or group?
- Guest-Requiring Care: Register the individual with the disability first. (The fee for one parent/guardian is included here).
- Personal Care Staff: The parent/guardian then registers themselves separately under this option.
- Other Screened Participants: Additional parents or siblings not requiring care register last under the Family Member rate.
Multiple people can be registered under one email/login, but each person must have their own individual profile.
What is the Refund & Cancellation Policy?
- Full Refund: If Special Touch is unable to accept an applicant, a 100% refund is provided.
- Cancellations: NO tuition refunds for cancellations made less than 2 weeks prior to the Get Away.
- Handling Fees: Refunds requested more than 2 weeks out are minus a $10 fee + 4.25% transaction fee.
- Method: Refunds are issued to the original card or by mailed check (allow 6 weeks).
- Note: Refunds are only given in the same calendar year payment was made. Tuition is not tax-deductible.
Does Special Touch bill Service Agencies?
NO. Billing to Service Agencies is the sole responsibility of the applicant or guardian. We do not bill third parties directly.
How do I fix wrong info or sign the Guardian Authorization?
Fixing Info: Highlight and retype most fields. For account login changes (like your email address), contact Central Processing.
Guardian Signature: If the guardian is not the person completing the form, contact Central Processing to have the guardian’s email added to the account so they can log in and sign.
