  • Please keep in mind that ALL your application materials (including your teacher recommendation) must be submitted in order for your application to be reviewed.

    • If this happens, you will be placed on a waiting list for your first choice camp and will be considered for your second or third choice camp. Therefore, we recommend submitting your full application as soon as possible.
  • Applications will be accepted until April 15, or until camps are full (may be before or after April 15). We will announce when the applications become full on our website.

  • Your parent’s/guardian’s information,
  • The name and email address of one teacher who will be submitting your teacher recommendation,
    • Using the teacher email address that is provided, the recommendation form will automatically be sent to the teacher to complete. Once we have received the teacher online recommendation form back, the applicant will receive an email notification. Please only enter one email address for your teacher.
    • Please note however, you are responsible for making sure that your teacher submitted your letter of recommendation. We will send out sporadic reminders but it your responsibility to ensure the completed submission.

You will receive a confirmation email when your application has been received.  It is important to remember, however, that your application will not be considered “complete” until we have received your teacher’s online recommendation form.  You will also receive a confirmation email when we have received your teacher’s recommendation.
