Collecting Registration Packs 2020

In the past Mercury Bay Day Camp has posted out registration packs using Community envelopes from NZ Post. These are becoming more difficult to obtain and with fewer postal deliveries each week there is a higher risk that some children may not receive their packs in time for camp, so for 2020 we’re doing things a bit differently.

During registration you will indicate your preferred pickup point for your registration pack. Options include:

• St Andrews Church Hall (Monday 6th & Tuesday 7th April, 3pm-6pm)

• Cooks Beach Hall (Monday 6th & Tuesday 7th April, 3pm-6pm)

If none of these options work for you, we will make other arrangements (e.g. picking up on first morning of camp), but it would be great if most kids can get their wristbands from one of the pickup stations.

Payment

Registration for Campers is confirmed once payment is received. You can pay immediately by credit card and get an automatic confirmation, or you can choose to get an invoice, and pay later (e.g. by internet banking). As always, we are open to talking about payment options if there is an issue, so don’t rule out coming to camp - register with an invoice to ensure you don’t miss out, then talk to us about your situation.

Details for making Internet payments: Westpac 03-1578-0066529-002. Please include your invoice number and contact phone number so we can match the payment to the correct registration.

Tips for filling in the Registration Form

• Have your list of electives worked out in advance, and in the order you want to do them

• If you don’t immediately get to the payment page after clicking on the submit button at the bottom, it means something was missing in the form. Go back up and see what might be missing (the transport option is usually the one that gets missed)

• If you don’t want to pay by credit card that’s okay - just select the invoice option and make the payment later.

• You will receive an email confirmation within minutes of completing the process, and a second email confirming payment if you have paid by credit card. If you don’t have these, something has gone wrong and you are not registered. If you pay by invoice, you will receive a confirmation of payment too, but it takes a little longer for us to confirm the amount in the account and do it manually!

• When allocated places run out, there is a waitlist. We cannot guarantee that everyone on the waitlist will get in to camp but we do our best to get as many as we can. If you are on the waitlist, please keep an eye on your email - if a place is available you will be notified by email and given 48 hours to respond if you wish to accept.
