IMPORTANT NOTICE: Read prior to camp registration for 2024.

Past Due Balances from 2022/2023: If you have an outstanding balance from a previous summer camp season, your child/camper is not eligible to register for camp this year until the account is paid in full. If you attempt to register your child without paying the previous past-due balance in full, they will be removed from the 2024 camp register.

CampDoc Camper Profile Completion Requirement: ALL CampDoc camper profiles must be 100% complete within two (2) weeks following the registration of your camper(s). If you have not completed each camper’s profile, your account will be deactivated for the 2024 summer camp season and you will lose both your registration fee and the reservations you had for the weeks selected.

Camper Photo Requirement: Please add a photo of each camper to their profile. This will be helpful to us when implementing the electronic sign-in and sign-out procedures.

Everyone must have a debit/credit card on file in CampDoc. Please delete/update any outdated card information that is on your account. Please note that if payment is not received by the Friday before your child/camper’s week of camp, we will charge your card for the week’s balance due. If any card is declined there will be a $25.00 service fee added to your camper’s account.

If you are not able to pick up camper t-shirts during this time, we will give them to your camper on their first day of camp. Please try to make it to one of these dates because it does make it easier for our staff.
