Summer Camp Forms

Due to Maryland Health Regulations, there are forms and information required of every camper.  Any forms needed (outside of the information in the online registration) are due 2 weeks before the start of camp. 

Members are not allowed to register non-members for summer camps. Each family must register under their own account.

We have a checklist to make sure you have all the information required for registration.

Review the Checklist before registering
