Camper drop-off is 8:30 AM and pick-up is 4:30 PM.
Lunch, breakfast and snack is provided!​

Waitlist
​

Deposits and Payments
Updated 12/14/2023
An initial payment of 20% will be due within one week of your registration. After your initial payment has been made, a monthly payment plan will be set up. The amount you will be charged per month will be calculated based on how many months remain until June 2025. The remaining balance will be spread out and charged to your credit card on the 1st of every month and the final payment will be due on June 1st, 2025. Please contact us if you prefer to pay via check or cash. Balances can be paid in full anytime.
To calculate your initial payment amount, multiply your balance by 0.20.

-
The best way to make a payment is through your account.
-
A 20% deposit is due within 1 week after you are approved for the session.
-
Your spot is not confirmed until you pay your deposit. If we do not receive your deposit by the due date and cannot reach you, your registration will be canceled to allow the opportunity to another camper.
-
Cancellation Policy: If you need to cancel your registration for any reason, at any time leading up to camp, you will receive a full refund for the amount paid, minus a $200 cancellation fee. Cancellation fees are charged per application, so if you have more than one camper registered, the fee will occur on each account. This fee will be held regardless of the date of your cancellation notice, so you become liable for the fee immediately after making your first payment.
-
Payment Plans: You have the option to pay your balance in full or join our automatic monthly payments. Then payments will be taken out each month with the final payment taking place on June 1st, 2025. Please make sure your auto payments are processed correctly; otherwise you will have a large balance due on June 1st.
If paying by check, your monthly payment will also be due within the first week of each month and will need to be mailed to PO Box 1129, Frankfort, MI 49635.
​
To help us organize cabin groupings and make your child’s camp experience as enjoyable as possible, email us a brief note commenting on any of the following: recent changes in your child’s life; difficulties in school; past camp experiences; unusual/difficult medical or emotional experiences; your child’s ease of making friends; hobbies/activities especially enjoyed; what your child is looking forward to (or not looking forward to) at camp, etc.
It is also helpful for campers to provide a brief statement about themselves. This registration form and both parent and camper statements will be used to organize cabin groups and will be shared with your child’s counselor. All comments will be treated confidentially.
