HOW OUR WAITLIST WORKS:
If a camp reaches full capacity we cannot accommodate additional campers.
However, you have the option to join our WAITLIST. (through the SAWYER registration system).
Once a spot becomes available, we will email EVERYONE on the waitlist. It doesn’t matter what position you are on the list.
As registration adjustments frequently occur before the camp commences, being on the waitlist increases your chances of securing a spot. Feel free to join the waitlist if you're interested in obtaining a spot!
ALL CAMPS ARE CURRENTLY FULL!
We are offering additional HOMESTEADING CAMPS in partnership with St. Luke School in River Forest. Learn more here!
