SUMMER CAMP REGISTRATION

We are continuing to accept registrations for Summer Camp, with the hope that the warmer weather will bring better health and freedom to all. As long as it is safe to do so, we will welcome your campers and let them have some much needed time to run free!

EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION EXTENDED TO APRIL 15

As our Early Bird Registration deadline is upon us, we realize these last few weeks have been a blur for so many. While you were trying to figure out logistics for the next few weeks, you probably were not thinking about Summer Camp.

In the spirit of making things a little easier and giving you a moment to breath, we have extended our 10% Off Early Bird Registration Discount to April 15. (See also our refer a friend discount and scholarship opportunities HERE . )

We are accepting applications for Summer 2020 Staff a little bit longer. Our comprehensive Staff Training begins June 14, 2020 - so don't delay!!
