Policies and Procedures
CampDoc.com offers online registration and an electronic health record system for camps. Once you sign up for a CampDoc.com account, you will be able to register your camper.
You will receive a confirmation email, and the camp office will process your registration and send you an invoice for your selection. You will then receive additional information about how to complete your camper’s health profile and any camp forms. All payments will be made directly to Challenge Camp prior to the start of camp.
Students select their workshops based on their current grade level as of September 2024. Early registration is recommended to ensure student’s first choice of workshops. The Director reserves the right to cancel any workshop if the enrollment is insufficient. In the event of cancellation, the child will be permitted to transfer to another course. All course descriptions and instructors are subject to change without notification.
No material fees will be returned for class changes after June 1.
Complimentary camp T-shirts will be distributed on Picture Day each session.
Medical
All Challenge campers must submit a complete health history, medical release form during registration. Challenge has a full time nurse on staff to deal with emergencies and administer any medications your child may require.
