FAQS:
I'M ONLY ABLE TO ATTEND PART OF THE CAMP PROGRAM. IS THERE A SPECIAL
RATE OR DISCOUNT?
There is a $5 off discount available if you will
be ATTENDING SATURDAY JUNE 30 ONLY. This means you will be
arriving for check in Saturday morning, and checking out and leaving
the campsite Saturday evening. After clicking the green "Register"
button above, click on "Enter Promotional code" and enter discount
code "SATURDAY" if you would like to have this discount applied to
you.
WHAT IF I JUST WANT TO STOP BY BRIEFLY? IS THERE A REDUCED FEE?
To be fair to all campers, and control camp expenses, camp
registration is all-or-none, with the exception of the Saturday-only
discount mentioned above. All campers and visitors are required to
register and pay their share, even if only visiting briefly.
WHAT IS THE REFUND POLICY?
Camp registration is fully refundable until 7 days before Camp.
After that registration is non-refundable.
HOW DO I REGISTER AND PAY?
All registrations and payments will be processed online through
Eventbrite.
