That camp your child wanted says "Wait list only" - What to do??? By adding your child's name to the wait list, good things can happen. If the wait list becomes long enough, we will consider opening another section of a particular camp. Also, people's plans do change, and, as a result, we often have openings that occur. As soon as an opening develops, we will contact you by email or phone. In order to be put on the wait list, please send in a registration form; we will enter your child on the wait list and inform you of your child's status.
