Families on our mailing list will receive an email in January with registration details for the upcoming summer.

Camp Registration Process

Our process for registering our campers is just that, a process! We highly recommend submitting a camper application on Registration Day. The earlier you apply, the better your chances are for camp enrollment. We receive a high volume of applications for each week in each age group. You can expect to hear from us within 1-2 weeks after submitting your camper’s application.

We have a high number of returning campers each summer, so it is not unusual for first time campers to find themselves on our waitlist. We keep a waitlist for each week and they are very active and fluid throughout the year and summer.

Weeks selected on your camper’s application are not guaranteed and weeks fill up incredibly quickly. We HIGHLY recommend selecting backup week(s) for all applicants, both new AND returning campers. 

• We enroll returning camper applications (by number of previously attended summers), followed by previous year waitlisted families, followed by new camper families according to the order in which the application was received.

• We maintain space in every cabin, each week for new campers; therefore, it is possible for returning campers to not get their preferred week or backup week and end up the wait list. This is entirely dependent on the volume of applications we get for each age group per week.

How to Apply

There are two ways to submit an application for your camper, either by logging into your parent account (for families who have previously submitted applications) OR by clicking on the application button on our website which becomes active on Registration Day. Photographs of your camper are NOT necessary to complete your child's application online, however you can go back at any time to add one later.

AHEAD OF REGISTRATION DAY

We recommend setting or verifying your username and password PRIOR to registration day will allow for a smoother process. If you have problems retrieving your password, please email us at info@campvarsity.net.

• Go to campvarsity.net and click on the Parent Area at the top right of the website.

• Click on the Camp Account Login button.

• Type in your username (email address) and password if you have one.

• If you don’t remember your password or haven’t set one up yet, click on Retrieve/Set Password and follow the prompts.

• If you are new to Camp Varsity, you can also fill out an inquiry form through the mailing list. Your email address used for the mailing list can be used to set up your Camp Account Login username.

CAMPERS REQUESTING TO BUNK WITH FRIENDS

• We allow ONE request per camper on their application and we’ll look at the first name listed on your campers application. Cabins are grouped by age and gender.

• In the event that there are spots for both campers in the same cabin, we will try our best to honor your bunk request however these are not guaranteed.

MULTIPLE WEEK ENROLLMENTS

• Each camper may enroll for up to three weeks total (consecutive/nonconsecutive).

• Stayover camper weekends are available between weeks 2/3 and 5/6.

ALTERNATE WEEKS

• We highly recommend adding alternate week(s) for your camper. Space is limited and bunks in each age group fill up very quickly.

• In the event that your campers preferred week is full, we look to place your camper in their alternate (backup week) and will place them in their alternate week if space is available.

WAIT LIST

• If there is no space available in their preferred or alternate week(s), they will be placed on the waitlist for their preferred and alternate week(s).

• If your camper is placed on the waitlist, their position is determined by the order in which their application was received.

• We will only contact you if and when a space becomes available for your child in their specific cabin age group.

• If a spot does not open up: Please apply next summer! We look for previously waitlisted applications and do our best to enroll your camper in the upcoming season.

  PAYMENTS FOR CAMP

  Once your camper is enrolled, your deposit will automatically be charged to your credit card or eCheck on file.

  • Payments on remaining balances can be made on your online camp account at any time leading up to April 15.

  • The remaining balance of payment is due by April 15.

  If payment is not received in full by April 15, your card or eCheck on file will be automatically charged.

  If we are unable to collect payment by April 15, your camper’s spot may be given to an applicant on the waiting list.

CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS

Refunds are made to original form of payment.

If you need to cancel your camper’s enrollment please email us at info@campvarsity.net.

If you cancel before March 15, your deposit will be refunded minus the $100 registration fee.

• After March 15, deposits are non-refundable.

• Any cancellations that happen after April 15 will be refunded ONLY in the event that we are able to fill your child’s spot.

• No refunds will be given if a camper leaves during camp for any reason (injury, illness, homesickness, behavior issues, or family emergencies). In the case of serious accident, illness, or other extenuating circumstances, refunds will be considered at the discretion of the Camp Director. We do not offer refunds or reductions for late arrivals or early departures from camp.

• We are unable roll over camper balances to future camp seasons.

Any camper whose behavior disrupts the camp program or is harmful to themselves or others will be dismissed with no refund. Please make sure you review our camper participation requirements prior to registering.

Although rare, we reserve the right to cancel or adjust a session due to emergencies, weather, or other situations out of our control. Camp Varsity would reach out to families to resolve finances.
