REGISTRATION FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Welcome. We hope that you find the answer for which you are looking.
If not, do not hesitate to
contact us.

Click on a question to see the answer.

What if my child takes medicines?

All medicines are to be turned over to the nurse upon arrival at camp unless a physician recommends that your child self-medicate, for example, with an inhaler or Epipens.

Please send enough medication for the entire time at camp in the
original package/bottle that identifies the prescribing physician, name of drug, dosage, and frequency.

NO medicine is to be kept by the camper in his or her cabin. Over-the-counter medicines such as Tylenol, aspirin, cough drops, etc. will be provided by the camp and available from a nurse as needed. A nurse oversees the administration of medications.

Medications are administered at mealtime. We will do our best to remind your child to take his/her medications, but it is not the responsibility of the counselors to remind your child to visit the nurse. If your child is unable to visit the nurse, perhaps he/she is not mature enough to attend camp.

If there have been any changes in medical or emotional history since you filled out the medical form, please alert the nurse upon arrival.

Why do you require a $50 deposit?

The deposit, which will be applied to your fee, is used to reserve a spot. In the past we didn't require a deposit and people would sign up and then not show up taking a spot which could have gone to another camper. We felt we needed to have something in order to judge the seriousness of the registration.

My account is not showing a discount? 

Each registration has to be reviewed so we can assign any discounts you may be due. Give us at least 24 hours and access your account again. We are working on enhancing our system to have these discounts applied at the time of registration making it possible for you to pay with no delay. Thanks for your patience.

How do I make a change to my child's registration?

Login to the Registration Account and use the 'I want to:' drop down list and choose either the 'Drop Student Request' or the 'Contact Staff/Send Email' link.

How do I request a cabinmate (9-10) in the Registration Account?

At this time, you cannot. This will come with future enhancements.
