Unfortunately due to a staffing shortage, for the first time in 40 years, we must put a capacity on the number of camper registrations per week. With that being said, all 7 weeks of K.I.D.S. Camp are already filled. You have the option to register for the waitlist in case a spot opens due to a cancellation of an enrolled camper.
