Kids Rock Referral Program What is it? The Kids Rock referral program is a way for you to save money on your registration cost, and a way for Kids Rock to spread the word about the exciting programming happening at Kids Rock this summer. How much money can I save? For each camper that comes to Kids Rock because they heard about it through your family, you will receive 20 off your registration cost. If you have already paid, Kids Rock will reimburse you for the amount owed. If you refer 5 different campers, you would receive a check for 100. How does Kids Rock keep track of the referrals? On each registration form, there is a spot that asks, how did you hear about Kids Rock? For each camper that writes your family’s name in that blank, you will receive 20 off your registration cost. Telling your friends about the fabulous programming this summer is the highest form of compliment that we can receive. This referral program will run all summer long as long as we still have spots available. Thank you for helping us spread the word!
