Calleva Camp Ready: Your Complete Guide for Seamless Enrollment

Are you gearing up for an unforgettable summer adventure for your kids at Calleva Summer Calleva? With the excitement of camp comes the crucial task of registration. Fear not! Because we’ve curated a comprehensive guide to ensure you’re fully prepared for a smooth and stress-free registration process.

Understanding Calleva Camp

Calleva isn’t just another summer camp. Instead it is an immersive experience that sparks curiosity, builds confidence, and nurtures a love for the outdoors. With a wide array of activities — from kayaking to wilderness survival skills — Calleva Summer Camp offers a diverse range of programs that cater to various interests and ages.

Key Preparations for Calleva Camp Registration

1. Research and Select Programs

Explore Calleva’s website, calleva.org, to discover the multitude of programs offered. Then consider your child’s interests, age, and desired experience level. Take note of program locations & durations, age requirements, and any prerequisites.

2. Mark Registration Dates

Stay ahead by marking the registration dates on your calendar. Registration will open for returning families on January 9, 2024 for Virginia camps and January 11, 2024 for Maryland camps; and for NEW families on January 16, 2024. Calleva’s programs are highly sought after, so being prepared to register promptly is key. Therefore, set reminders to ensure you don’t miss the enrollment window.

3. Gather Essential Information

Before registration opens, gather necessary details. For example, your child’s medical information, emergency contacts, and any specific permissions or waivers required for the program. Having these details on hand streamlines the registration process. You can access this information (and more!) on the Parent Resources page.

4. Create a Calleva Account

Visit CampInTouch and create an account. Because this account will be your portal for all things related to your child’s camp experience, from registration to accessing important updates and information. New families will be able to create an account the first day of registration, but not before.

5. Review Policies and Procedures

Familiarize yourself with Calleva’s policies and procedures, including refund policies, camp rules, and safety guidelines. You can find this on our Camp FAQ page. This knowledge ensures a smooth experience for both you and your child.

Navigating Calleva Camp Registration

1. Early Bird Gets the Worm

Be ready to log in to your Calleva account before the registration opens. Often early enrollment offers preferred program choices and better session availability. As a result, Calleva registration opens first for returning families. So, if you can’t get your child in to their first choice of programs the first year, it will be easier as a returning family.

2. Stay Calm and Be Persistent

Registration days can be busy! So if you encounter website traffic or delays, remain patient and persistent. Refresh the page if needed, and avoid multiple browser tabs to prevent technical issues.

Please note: You will register EACH child separately. We know that it can be stressful to get all of your children registered & confirmed in one sitting, but we believe in you!

If the programs you are interested in are filled, try something new. Pick something that will get your child outside and trying something new. Because any camp program at Calleva offers children memories of outdoor adventures that will last a lifetime.

3. Secure Your Spot

Once you’ve selected the desired program and session for a child, complete the payment process promptly. Ensure all information provided is accurate and complete before finalizing. Then, you’ll be ready to register the next child on your list.

4. Double-Check Confirmation

Upon successful registration, review the confirmation email provided by Calleva. Then double-check all details, including dates, session information, and any additional requirements.

Post-Registration Preparations

1. Prepare Your Child

Share the excitement with your child! Then discuss the upcoming adventure at Calleva summer camp. Thus, encouraging anticipation and preparing them for the unique experiences ahead.

2. Complete Necessary Paperwork

If any additional forms or waivers are required post-registration, ensure prompt completion and submission. After all this guarantees a hassle-free start to your child’s camp journey.

3. Stay Updated

Keep an eye on your Calleva account and email for any updates or communications from the camp. Timely responses to requests or inquiries ensure smooth coordination.

Ensure that you don’t miss any important requests for information. By adding the following to your approved senders in your email you won’t miss anything: transportation@calleva.org, registration@calleva.org, and nurse@calleva.org.

Calleva Here You Come!
