Register for multiple camps in one purchase
When completing registration information, the system will retain information you have already entered during that session. So, if you’d like to register for multiple camp sessions and/or for multiple children, we recommend doing so in the same order session. Then, you’ll have an option that appears to auto-fill the lengthy registration form, which can be edited as needed.

Before and After Care
Before and After Care may be added for the week at a time, or by individual days. These are also available to add later. To add individual days, select your preferred week, then the link for “Show individual events”.

You may also qualify for a scholarship. Recipients can expect to see their scholarship discount.
