Camper Application

Camp WANNAGOAGAIN! 2025 is Happening!

Camper Application

To enroll a camper, please follow the link to our new electronic application form. The electronic form is easy to navigate and will reduce the instances of missing pages and information needed to process your camper’s application. If you prefer a paper packet, please contact Nancy Reyes at nreyes2@lifespan.org. Do not forget to submit the $75 application fee through our PayPal link or paper check.

Please note: The electronic form must be completed in one session. Before you begin, be sure to have your camper’s medical information including medication details, Doctor’s contact, and insurance information, as well as contact information for those authorized to pick-up and emergency contacts.

The registration packet must be completed, in full, along with the $75.00 registration fee before it can be processed. If your child is on the wait list and not placed in camp, your registration fee will be returned.

Camp fills quickly every year. We highly encourage families to complete the registration in its entirety submit registrations as soon as possible!
