HOW TO REGISTER

Our online registration system shows, in real time, which camps have space and will allow parents to add their families to the wait lists of full programs. Each priority group will register in a group based on their family’s past attendance and/or lottery number. Registration will be on a first come, first served basis within each registration day. If you are entered into the lottery you will be contacted directly with your registration day.

RETURNING CAMP FAMILIES

If your camper(s) attended camp in Summer 2026, they have already been automatically entered into the 2027 pre-registration lottery.
If you have another dependent that will be attending camp in Summer 2027 for the first time, please add them to your REC profile and email us their member ID number by February 5th.
If your camper(s) attended camp in 2025 or earlier, but did not attend camp in Summer 2026, please email us their member ID number by February 5th.
