5. Does an Early Bird Access Pass guarantee that I’ll get the camps that I want? What if the session I want is sold out?

Not necessarily. Early Bird Access does NOT guarantee a camp seat though it will allow you to register a day before we open camps to the public. If a session is sold out, please join our waitlist and you’ll be notified if a spot opens up. In the meantime, you can also explore other available sessions.

To register, simply visit the Camp Finder on our website and select the camp session(s) you’d like. If you have added an Early Bird Access Pass to your account, you’ll have access to register for Summer 2025 camps from 10:00am-11:59pm on January 14, 2025. 


10. What if I miss the Early Bird Access deadline?

If you miss the Early Bird deadline or choose to not participate, you can still register for camp during the regular registration windows starting on January 15th and 16th. Some camp weeks sell out quickly, so we encourage you to sign up as early as you are able to ensure availability.
