Please note: Due to overwhelming need for financial assistance, we have closed registration for Tiers 1–3. Tier 4 registration is still available by phone only. If you are unable to pay the tier 4 or 5 tuition for camp, we encourage you to add your name to our waitlist. As we continue to secure funding across the state, we will open more spaces at lower tiers where possible.
