If there is an opening, you will be notified. Avoid missing a camp by registering early! WAIVER All participants must have a fully completed and signed waiver before they can join the camp.

Our staff will make sure all children get to their destinations once authorization has been received. Please send an umbrella or poncho with your child if the weather requires it.
