How to Apply

SURGE campers are selected from applicants after completing our online application and a short interview. This program runs concurrently with our Overnight Summer Camp and space is limited, so don’t delay!

• Log into your registration account (or create one) and select the “SURGE” session(s).
• Complete all required forms and update your camper’s information. The application form should be filled out by the camper.
• After forms are submitted, the enrollment will show as waitlisted. Staff will contact you to schedule a 5–10 minute phone interview with the camper.
• After the interview, staff will follow up with next steps. If accepted, the registration fee will be charged to the account to finalize enrollment. The minimum deposit is non-refundable.
