If you are on the wait list and a spot becomes open for you, you will be notified as soon as possible.

Q: Can I attend a session I did not attend last year?
(Show)
A: Returning campers who register between January 1-14 are guaranteed a spot only in the session they attended the previous summer. A returning camper desiring to change sessions should do the following:
- Register for the SAME session attended in the previous summer between January 1-14.
- Send an email to the registrar info@campbluehaven.com with the following information: Camper name, session attended previous year, new session desired for the upcoming summer, and the reason for the desired session change.
- Once the returning camper registration ends at the close of day on January 14th, the session change requests will be assessed by the registrar in the order in which email requests were received. The camper will be notified by the registrar as soon as possible concerning the request based on availability in the new session.
*We recommend that you register your camper as a new camper for the desired session. In the event that the desired session is full with its own returning campers, registering as a new camper for the desired session allows you to be on the wait list in the earliest time slot possible. Be sure to register as a new camper PROMPTLY on January 15th at 9PM CST.
Camp Blue Haven reserves the right to decline the change based on session capacity.
