 Registering Multiple Campers?

• Each camper must complete an online registration form.

  • process payment with each registration, or
  • wait until the last registration is complete and finish the credit card processing after submitting registration on the last camper.
• Please add all fees together and list ALL members names/camps in the description to ensure payment is applied correctly.
• Have questions? Contact our office at 740-653-5419

 Friend Requests can be made during the registration process. We recognize the importance of sharing a camp experience with a friend. To request the same cabin as a friend, both campers must name each other in the registration process. A maximum of two campers can request to be together. This is the only opportunity to request a cabin assignment with your friend.

• Please remember, there is no guarantee that the request can be honored, but we will do our best.
• If you have questions or concerns, please contact Aubry Fowler, Camp Director, at Fowler.443@osu.edu.
