How does the lottery registration system work?
Cabin and tent reservations will be assigned through a lottery system this year.
All lottery registrations will be entered into our computer system, and the computer will run a random lottery to determine camp reservations and waitlist spots.

When will the lottery be run?
Dates will be available soon!
How will I know if I received a spot in camp?
Parents will be texted after the lottery run to notify them if they received a tent/cabin spot or if they are waitlisted. If you receive a spot, a follow-up email will come from Campdoc with a link to complete registration and pay the commitment fee. The commitment fee must be received within 24 hours to confirm registration otherwise your spot will be forfeited and offered to the next family on the waitlist.
Please note: If a family does not get in for tent camping, they are automatically added to the cabin lottery.
