CAMP REGISTRATION INFORMATION
All attending students MUST be registered online 2 weeks prior to their school's week.
Detailed registration information is in the Information Packet linked above, page 4. Our online registration system is called CampSite.
You may only register your student for their specific school's camp session. Confirm your camp dates and registration deadline with your school or classroom teacher. If you do not see a camp session for your school, it has not been created yet. Please wait to receive information from your school before creating an account and registering your student.
