Here are some helpful tips to streamline your registration process:

  • Have the names and contact information of the adults you wish to be contacted in the event of an emergency as well as the names of adults who are authorized to pick up your camper.
  • Have any prescription name, dosage, and instructions your camper will need as well as the date of their last tetanus shot.
  • To eliminate as many mailed forms as possible, we’ve added most of our waiver information into the registration process. Please read them carefully.
  • Look for additional information approximately three weeks prior to the start of camp. This info will contain your parking passes and drop off location for your particular week of camp.

If you need any registration assistance you may call a member of our Guest Services Contact Center, open daily 9 am until 5 pm, by dialing 313.982.6001.
