Special Medical Care
Medical care beyond the facilities of the infirmary that could include emergency room visits, prescriptions, medical tests, and medications administered by a doctor. This cost could vary greatly from student to student. We request a deposit to the student's account of $900.00 to cover these costs. Should the costs exceed this amount, an additional deposit will be required. Should the medical expenses during the year total less than this amount, the balance on hand will be applied to the student's account to cover any other charges. If there are no other outstanding charges, the balance on hand will be refunded to the parents. Parents are also required to obtain medical insurance which is enforced within the USA. A supplemental accidental insurance policy is required and included in these fees. A brochure outlining such a policy is enclosed. This company is just one of many which offers such insurance. Camden Military Academy does not recommend one company over another and assumes no responsibility regarding the terms or performance of any such policy.
Forward a check in US funds via a courier service in the amount of $25,325.00. (The application fee of $100.00 would have accompanied the application).
Charges will vary from student to student. The Academy cannot assure parents as to the exact amount of the miscellaneous charges. Should a student exceed these estimates, an additional deposit during the school year may be required. The Academy cannot guarantee that this list is completely inclusive.

In the event of dismissal or withdrawal, the balance of the tuition and other charges, less credits, becomes immediately due and payable. Credit of only $600.00 per month will be given for that portion of the school year the student is not is attendance. Ten optional trips are offered yearly and not included in the above totals.
