Registration Procedures
Why online registration?
Registering online offers Discovery Creek constituents immediate notification
of their child’s acceptance into camp. In addition, online registration is
a more environmentally friendly method than mailing applications. Switching
to online registration has already helped us conserve over 8,000 sheets of
paper!
In addition, having our information online allows us to better serve you!
Summer Nature Adventure now has the ability to email parents regarding unforeseen
schedule changes, allow parents to download permission slips that may have
been misplaced, as well as help us keep in contact with you throughout the
year. Furthermore, you can now pay for camp via an online server as opposed
to mailing in payment.
Online registration will benefit both our members as and the environment in
the future. We are confident that this process is a sound decision to improve
Summer Nature Adventure Camps and minimize our impact on the environment.
