2024 Summer Camp Registration will open on Friday, March 1st, 2024

Registration Process

Early registration process: March 1 - 12, 2024

Slowing the race to register!

There is no need to rush to submit your registration when the process begins in March. The registration website will open for two weeks of early registration. During this initial registration period, the registration site will require families to indicate their level of preference for each camp selected (“Must have if at all possible”, to “Would be nice”). A $30 registration fee will be applied and required to submit your registration requests. This fee will be returned if your camper does not receive a space at camp.

After this first period, the early registration period will close and the registration site will be taken offline for several days as we process all the registration requests. For any programs/weeks that receive more requests than space will allow, placements will be made using the following criteria:

  • Has the family indicated that the week is a high priority?

  • Has the camper secured other weeks at CBC this summer?

For very full programs, CBC wants as many children as possible to have the opportunity to experience camp.

  • Does the camper have a sibling already enrolled in the same week?

Whenever possible, CBC wants to make it possible for families to send their campers to CBC on concurrent weeks.

  • Are the camps balanced?

CBC is a popular choice for both local families and summer residents and visitors. Historically, on average, 60% of our campers are Hancock County residents with 40% summer residents and visitors. CBC believes this economic and cultural diversity enriches the camp experience for all (Please note: applying for campership assistance has no impact on the assignment of camp weeks).

  • When all criteria are accounted for, spaces in oversubscribed camp programs will be assigned by lottery.

After early registration closes, enrollment will be confirmed with families within a week. Statements reflecting the weeks secured and deposits due will be included with the registration confirmation. The registration website will re-open as normal once early registration confirmations are sent out. Any registrations received after March 12th will be on a first-come basis and all waitlists will be in place.

The Starburst program and select specialty camps will most likely be in high demand. If your camper is applying for only high demand programs, weeks may be limited.

Camp families requested a less manic registration process and we have done our best to serve you within the parameters of our systems. Please do not hesitate to call if you have any questions.

Thanks,

The CBC Registration Team.
