Summer Camps

REGISTRATION

Member registration for camp began at 8:00 am on Tuesday, March 10th, 2026. General registration began at 8:00 am on Thursday, March 12th, 2026.

To improve our online camp registration experience, we’ve added a new queueing system. When you begin the registration process, you’ll be placed in a virtual line and will be admitted in first-come, first-served order. The queue will show your place in line and an estimated wait time before you can begin.

Important: If you’re registering multiple children, please complete all registrations in the same order. If you close your order before finishing, you’ll be moved to the back of the queue.
