New Registration System

Accessing the New Registration System

In February, prior to summer camp registration, come back for details on how to create and access an account.

Tips for Previewing Summer Camps

To filter camps, select your desired options to view camps that match your criteria.  

If you choose multiple options within the same filter category, results will include camps that meet either option selected. 

Example Filter Scenario

For example, selecting camper ages 5 and 12 will display camps available for 5-year-old campers or 12-year-old campers. Results may include camps that serve one age or the other and may not include camps where both ages can attend together.

Some camps may require adult participation, which will be noted in the camp description.

How to Reset the Filters
