REGULAR APPLICATION DEADLINE: March 31
Tuition and Fees
CBK Summer Programs tuition is comparable to other programs offering the same type of residential experience. Hourly rates reduce to $16/hour even without the cost of overnight and weekend supervision and participation. Tuition covers campus room and board and facilities charges (the majority of tuition goes to CU Boulder), staff salaries/ housing, planning and evaluation for the courses, publications, textbooks, class and residential materials, program shirt, and residential events and trips. Additional student expenses not covered in tuition include a lab fee for materials-based courses, and may include souvenirs from the campus bookstore, snacks, laundry, or other optional activities.
Payments must be made online. Lab fees are paid upon ACCEPTANCE. Discounts are applied at initial application only.
Application Fee
All applicants must submit a nonrefundable $50 application fee. This fee is not applied to program tuition. Applications not including this fee (this must be included even with application for financial aid) are canceled.
Tuition Deposit
A 50% tuition deposit is due with the application before March 31 and holds your class seat. This deposit is applied directly toward tuition and is rarely refunded. If applying for financial aid, the tuition deposit is waived and any monies remaining due following the award must be paid by May 1st. All applications after March 31 must include full payment.

Refund Policy
The $50 application fee is not refunded for any reason.
The 50% tuition deposit is refunded only if:
1) a student is not accepted to the program
2) a student cannot be placed in any of the three listed course choices and declines a 4th choice phone offer
3) a student withdraws in writing before 4pm, May 1st (a 10% fee is assessed with all withdrawals)
4) a family applies for financial aid and does not receive a sufficient award
Students who must withdraw during a program due to hospitalization or the death of a parent, guardian, or sibling will receive a prorated refund not to exceed 50% of program fees paid, less the deposit and a 10% fee. If a student withdraws for any other reason after the first day of the program has started, or if a student is dismissed from the program, no monies will be refunded. Refunds take 4-6 weeks to process.
Residential Damage Fees
CBK will maintain a $150 security deposit for any incidental fees for each student attending programs. Damage fees will be invoiced to families within 10 days following each program. Fees are heavily documented and indisputable. Damages beyond $300 will be reported as vandalism to Campus Security for investigation and collections. Most common sample fees include late or lost library book fees, lost or missing Buff Card fees, double-paid meals due to forgotten Buff Cards, medications following a doctor visit, or lockouts. Any remaining security deposit will be refunded between following each program.
Air Travel, COVID Policies, and Vaccination
* Students are not permitted to travel by commercial flight during the three days prior to Opening Day due to its high-risk nature; students must arrive in Colorado by Wednesday night before check-in or travel by private vehicle. Upon request, CBK will arrange airport shuttle service for flights departing before noon on Closing Day. The fee for this service is $60, due upon acceptance to the program. Students must be comfortable navigating the airport alone as CBK staff are unavailable to travel to the airport with students.
* CBK has lifted quarantine requirements, but families will agree their kids did not participate in other residential or day camps at least three days prior to the CBK program. Indoor masking is still required and families will need to consent to COVID testing for their students at registration and during the program.
* All CBK Summer Students and Staff must be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and proof of vaccination must be uploaded with application. Please contact CBK with any questions about this policy.
* No monies will be refunded if families do not abide by these policies. Thank you for your understanding.

Late applications will be accepted with an additional $100 fee if RECEIVED no later than:
SHINE: May 1
GLOW: May 1

Late applicants cannot be considered for financial aid. FULL PAYMENT of all tuition and fees is due WITH late application or an additional $100 fee will apply.
