What happens if I am on a Waitlist?
If the camp roster is full, you have the opportunity to sign up to be on the Waitlist. You will complete all information required for your camper and provide a credit card. However, you will NOT be charged unless we are able to move your camper to the camp roster. Campers will be added to the camp roster if space becomes available in the order they were added to the waitlist. We will provide periodic updates to your Waitlist status. Waitlist campers are encouraged to complete the required forms so they are ready in the event a spot becomes available with short notice.
