Additional forms will be required once registration is complete. Parents will receive a follow up email with information on how to complete the required camp participant forms. These forms include: Release of Liability, Emergency & Medical Information, and Transportation Authorization.
The day camp information packet will be emailed by March 10th. This packet includes details about daily activities, pool procedures and discipline policies. Please review the payment schedule to know when camp balances are due.
