Parents will receive an email after the first of the year along with a mailed letter with camp information. Parents are not allowed to share the link for registration with other families. If this happens it may make that camper ineligible to attend this summer. Camp will run on the following dates August 17-22, 2025. Camp has limited spaces so last year campers will get first spots as long as they apply be the deadline. Camp Registration ends June 1, 2025. Any completed applications will be added to the waiting list for camp. If you have any questions please contact the camp director- Roger Houghkirk at roger@ycamp.org.
