Regional Summer Camps are on a first come, first serve basis based on the timestamp of your application. To increase your chances of getting a spot we suggest you submit your application as close to opening time as possible as we are unable to make exceptions on the timestamp.
Siblings: If you are submitting an application for multiple children/campers; please submit individual application forms for each camper. Combined applications will be considered invalid.
Payment: You will not be asked for payment information at the time of application. Due to the high volume of applicants in all regions, our chapter coordinators will process and review the applications in the week following opening day; at which point you will be informed if you have gotten a spot in camp, or if you have been waitlisted. Once confirmations/waitlist have been sent; you will receive an invoice from our finance department. Please do not bring payment to our offices until these invoices have been sent.
