Q: When and How do I sign up for camp for the first time?
FIRST TIME CAMPERS
A: Registration opens at 9:00 pm sharp on January 15 at signup.campbluehaven.com . It is highly recommended that first-time campers be on our website and register the moment registration opens. Fill out the online application promptly at 9:00 p.m. and click submit. We have several hundred campers register in those first few minutes and the waiting list will be filled in the order the applications were received, so it is very important that you register promptly at 9:00 pm to improve the chances of obtaining a spot. You will not be asked to make any payments at this time. All registrants who have been placed as a camper will be notified on or around February 10th. If you are not notified via email or US mail, your name remains on a wait list for the session in the order the registration was received. If you are on the wait list and a spot becomes open for you, you will be notified as soon as possible. However, because we cannot control when cancellations are made, sometimes we cannot notify you of an opening until “the last minute”.
RETURNING CAMPERS (New deadline for returning campers to be guaranteed a spot in the session they attended the previous year is January 31st)
A: Returning campers are guaranteed a spot in the session they attended the previous year, provided they register by January 31st. Returning campers must register by the end of January! On February 1st, all open spots remaining will be filled from the wait lists. You are still welcome to register for camp, but your application will revert to a new camper status and your name will be added to the bottom of the waiting list.
Q: Can I attend a session I did not attend last year?
A: Returning campers are guaranteed a spot in the session they attended the previous year, provided they register by January 31st. A returning camper desiring to change sessions must register for the new session by January 31. THEN the camper must send an email to the registrar (info@campbluehaven.com) with the following information: Camper name, session attended previous year, session desired, and the reason for changing sessions.
Blue Haven reserves the right to decline the session change related to session capacity.
A returning camper has a “returning camper status” for one session in the summer, unless they attended more than one session the previous summer. A camper wishing to attend new additional sessions must register as a “new camper” for any other sessions.
Q: What information is needed on the registration application?
A: You will need to have the following information ready:
-Camper’s name, mailing address, phone number, email address, age, and grade that he/she will be going into next fall
-Parent’s name, mailing address, phone number, email address.
-Session requested for this summer. Returning campers only will need to provide session attended last summer.
Q: Will I have to pay when I register?”
A: New campers will NOT be able to make payment during the registration process. Returning campers will have the opportunity to pay when they register. When new campers are notified they have a spot in a session, the payment process information will be provided.
Q: How much does it cost?
A: 1 week session tuition is $250 per camper. 2 week session tuition is $450 per camper.
Half payment is due March 1st and is NON-REFUNDABLE. Full Payment and Trading Post funds are due no later than two weeks before the start of the camp session.

Campers will have the opportunity every afternoon to purchase refreshments, souvenirs, and other items at the Trading Post. We recommend $30-$40 for one week campers and $50-$60 for two week campers
Q: How and when will I find out if I got in?
A: Returning campers are guaranteed a spot in the session they attended the previous year, provided they register by January 31st.

All registrants who have been placed as a camper will be notified on or around February 10th via US mail or email.
