Please fill out the application below to register your camper(s) online. Clicking the Submit button will automatically re-direct you to the page where camp sessions can be purchased. To register additional campers, please return to this page and fill out the camper information form again. Your child will not be registered until both of these are completed!
​
The safety of our campers is our first priority here at CNCP, and so we have developed a plan for reducing risk of COVID-19 exposure during camp.
​
-
Camp sessions limit has been expanded to fifteen campers. If the camp session you would like is already full, please email to get on the waiting list.
-
All campers must bring their own hand sanitizer and mask each day of camp. We will be requiring that masks are used whenever possible.
-
We will be checking temperatures of each camper at drop-off each day.
​
We have also modified certain procedures to reduce the sharing of items (such as craft supplies) between campers and reduce camper physical contact. Our camp is designed to take place almost entirely outside, where campers will have lots of fresh air and space to spread out!
​
Hopefully we will be able to relax these requirements soon, and we will keep camp parents updated!
