Any cadets who wish to withdraw their applications for main camp need to do so by emailing the address on this website (info@suttongrammarccf.com). Refunds cannot be issued unless this formal process is gone through, as the webmaster can then check the situation with the waiting list. Simply mentioning you would like to pull out of camp to a member of staff or senior cadet does not constitute a formal request to withdraw.
