The summer school committee is asking that all participants register as soon as possible and to please be respectful of the registration deadline. In order to run an efficient camp for everyone, volunteers and organizers need to prepare in advance.
Participants under 19 who wish to attend without a parent need to have a parent fill out the waiver that will be emailed after registration. This very important waiver places the care and responsibility of minors in the hands of the adult accompanying them to summer school. Click here to download the waiver form.
