If registering for more than one camp, the $35 fee is charged per program — but after the first fee is paid, any additional fees will be credited to the next camp payment.

A 2-day per week minimum schedule per site is required, and children may not attend more than one site in the same week.

Please note, your reservation is not secured until payment information is complete.
