    Is there a waiting list for sessions that are full?

    When a session sells out, an online waiting list option will automatically be created.  You may waitlist for the session(s) of your choice.  There is no charge for registering on the wait lists.  If you have a second session option, it may be a good idea to register for that session as well as the wait list.  Should space open up in your waitlisted session, you can be moved from the other.

    If space becomes available, you will be contacted by E-MAIL to accept or decline the opening.  Please be sure to provide an e-mail address that is checked frequently.

    There is no guarantee that space will become available, or when it will happen. Cancellations can happen months in advance or the day before a session begins. Every summer is different in how many people gain a spot in camp off the lists.
