How to Register
Registration begins May 1, 2010. Campers MUST have completed kindergarten and are entering first grade.
There are behavior guidelines that children must meet due to the activities we have the campers participate in and to ensure all campers are provided with a high quality experience. If you have specific questions please contact Corey Sinclair at 963-3516. There is a maximum capacity for campers, registration is done on a first come, first serve basis.
*Please Note: To qualify for the student rate, a parent must have taken classes in the previous fall, winter, spring or current summer AND pay the regular tuition rates for those classes. Staff taking classes under the university benefit are not eligible to pay the student rate for camp.
