A charge with the descriptor “978-386-7704” is very likely associated with Camp Middlesex, as this is the main office phone number used on their official forms and contact pages, including registration and camp store deposit documents where credit card payments are explicitly accepted.([studylib.net](https://studylib.net/doc/9032099/camp-store-deposit-form?utm_source=openai)) This charge may represent camp tuition for overnight or day sessions, deposits for upcoming sessions, extended day options, camp store deposits, optional event fees (such as band concert snacks or special dinners), or purchases of camp photos and merchandise. Depending on the timing, you might see one-time payments for session tuition or several smaller charges linked to camp store or activity add-ons.

If you have questions about a charge, the best first step is to compare the transaction date and amount with your camp registration confirmation, invoices, or emailed receipts from Camp Middlesex’s registration system. You can contact the camp office directly at the published phone number on their site or email the office (both listed on the official Camp Middlesex contact and check‑in/out pages) to confirm the payment details.([ultracamp.com](https://www.ultracamp.com/info/campcontact.aspx?campcode=&idCamp=69&lang=en-Us&utm_source=openai)) Ask for an itemized statement of your family’s account, including tuition, deposits, camp store funds, and any refunds or credits. If the charge is not recognized after speaking with the camp, you can then follow up with your bank or card issuer, providing the camp’s name, phone number, and any documentation you received during registration to help resolve or dispute the transaction.
