CAMP SPOTS

• Adding Spots and Waitlist - To request additional spots in a camp week, contact the camp office. If spots are not available, the area will be placed on the Wait-to-Add list. If spots become available, the area must take the waitlist spots or be removed from the list.
• Dropping Spots and Waiting to Drop -​ After R2 is returned, areas wanting to drop spots must either trade the spots away to another area or go on the Wait-to-Drop list. The area is financially accountable for Wait-to-Drop spots, unless another area picks up the spots.
• Trading Camp Spots -​ Areas wishing to drop camp spots can trade those spots away to another area through the camp office.​ Camps will honor trades between areas up until the day before the camp week begins.​ To complete a trade, all areas involved must confirm the trade with the camp office via email. A new DocuSign Contract will be created for each area.
