Camp Acceptance
Applications will be processed by position on a first-come, first-served basis until the session is filled. Because of the organization of the camp instructional program, it is necessary to accept applicants on the basis of age level and position played. For this reason, applications for certain positions and age levels will be closed out when those age levels and positions are filled.
