THE 2024 SUMMER CAMP BROCHURE IS HERE!

Explore ALNC Nature Discovery & Adventure Summer Camps
 

This summer, we’re offering day camps for Adventurers ages 11 to 13, which include one night overnight. For these camps, families must enroll via the lottery system.

We are holding a weighted lottery for full-day camps and families have from January 19th to January 28th to indicate their interest in camp sessions. The weighted lottery randomly selects registrants with additional entries given to students who have been historically underserved and underrepresented. Families not selected in the lottery will automatically be waitlisted. Once notified of selection, families will have the option to register for camps.

2024 ENROLLMENT PROCESS FOR FULL-DAY CAMPS

STEP 1: Choose which Adventurers camps work for your family.

STEP 2: Enroll in the lottery between January 19th and January 28th.
Enter your child’s information and indicate which session(s) work for your family. This does not guarantee your child a spot, but rather puts their name into our lottery system. Please note that this process is NOT first-come, first-serve, so there’s no need to refresh your browser at midnight! Families have 10 days, starting January 19th, to register their interest, after which names will be placed into a lottery and pulled to fill camp spots.

STEP 3: Wait for placement notification.
Registration closes on January 28th. ALNC will let you know by February 9th if your child’s name has been drawn for a camp session or has been placed on the waitlist. You’ll receive an email with either a registration offering or notification of waitlist placement. You may choose to accept or decline the spot for your child. If selected for a camp spot, a non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your spot in this session; please let us know if this amount is prohibitive for you and we can discuss an alternative amount.

STEP 4: Confirm your acceptance and complete registration.
Once you accept your placement and make your deposit payment, you will receive additional details and paperwork to complete your registration. You may make your final payment at once or by setting up a payment plan with us. Tuition assistance is available.
