Look at our camp choices in the 2026 Summer Camp Booklet.
Then, sign up for camp online using the CampMinder system. Camp sign-ups start on November 17 at noon.
If you are not registering on a laptop or computer, download and use the Campanion app so it's more user-friendly.
If you are requesting a camp scholarship or are using a PAC to pay, you must still pay the minimum $25 or $50 deposit (varies per camp type). If this is a hardship, contact us.
