Weather Policy
Refunds are available up to two weeks before the session, minus a $50 non‑refundable deposit. No refunds for homesickness, heat‑related early departures, or disciplinary dismissals.
If government issued warnings forecast significant tornado risk within 36 hours of session start, staff may cancel the session. In that situation, camp will be rescheduled, hopefully within a week. Normal rain or non‑threatening storms won’t cancel camp, though activities may be adjusted.

Squad STX is held at Dinosaur Valley State Park, located an hour from Fort Worth, 1.5 hours from Dallas, and 2.5 hours from Austin. Get Directions
