How do I send my child to camp?
The lottery opens yearly in January.
- Due to the high demand for summer camp, we run a lottery process to provide equitable access for all families.
- An email is sent out in December communicating when the lottery form will open.
- We use SmartRec by Amilia, an account-based registration system, to manage camp registration. See full instructions here on how to create an Amilia account.
