There is no formal registration deadline, but when the program is full registration will be closed. Because the number of spaces is limited (to facilitate closer collaborations between students, faculty, and guest speakers), it is advised that registrations and payments be submitted as soon as possible to secure a slot.
Once we receive your camp payment, Health Information Form and Waiver Form, you will be automatically added to our roster of enrolled students! Additional details about the program, including a detailed schedule, will be sent to all enrolled students prior to the start of camp.
A detailed camp schedule will be sent to all enrolled students prior to the start of camp. A typical day consists of breakfast at 8 a.m., programming from 9 a.m.–4 p.m., followed by dinner, and evening activities.

The dormitory will be locked at all times, Lebanon Valley College campus safety officers are on duty 24 hours a day seven days a week, and the Camp Director may be contacted at any time by camp counselors.
Parents/guardians will be contacted in case of any injury or illness to their child. In emergency situations, the safe transport of campers to the nearest hospital will be ensured.
