Before You Register Online

The following information is required on the registration form; we suggest that you assemble all the information before you begin to fill out the form.

Required information:

• A parent's/guardian's
• Name
• Day phone number
• Home/cell phone number
• E-mail addresses
• Emergency contact (name, phone number)
• Your child's physical conditions (allergies, recurring illness, disabilities, chronic illness, etc.)
• Insurance company information (name, address, policy information—subscriber's name, number, group number)
• Sport-specific information (position, experience, etc.)

Other information requested:

• Penn State ID number/Social Security number*

For clarification purposes, there are two types of IDs that Penn State uses:
The Penn State digital ID is usually in the format of abc1234.
The Penn State student ID is in the form of 9-1234-5678.

• School name
• School city
• Date of most recent tetanus immunization
• Name of family physician
• Phone of family physician
• (For resident camps) Preferred roommate name
• Height
• Weight

Now that you have gathered all the required information to complete your child's registration, go to the "Fee and Registration" page and click on the "online registration form" link. A screen will appear, titled "Search Outreach Offerings," which will list the camps available for the program. Click "register" for the camp in which you wish to enroll your child.

1. If the program listed is the only program you are going to register your child for, click "Check out." If not, click "Continue Shopping" until you are ready to check out.

2. You will then be asked to enter a digital identity. 

• If you are already affiliated with Penn State and have an Access ID, or Friends of Penn State ID, enter the ID here with your password.

• If you are not already affiliated with Penn State, you can create a new digital ID. This will give you access to Outreach services. Upon creating this, you will be asked for YOUR information, (do not put in your child’s). This will include your address, name, phone, e-mail, etc. At the end, it will ask you for a password and some password phrases. After you submit this, you will receive an e-mail confirmation with your new digital ID. After creating the ID, you will then be taken to the next screen, where you will already be logged in.

3. You will be presented with a screen that shows your name at the top. 
4. You will then want to click the "Add/Edit/Delete Individuals" button, to the right of the box with your name listed. This will allow you to add your child(ren) to your "cart" so that you may register them for their programs.
5. The next page will list your name only. If your child has the same address as yours, it is easiest to just click "copy" to the right of your name (far right). This will duplicate the address and other information. Or, you can start from scratch using "Add Customer."
6. However you've chosen to proceed, you will then enter your child's personal information here. In the area where it asks for a Social Security or Penn State ID number, you will want to enter your child's Penn State ID number, or his/her Social Security number, so that it links the registration to the correct student in our database.

• This will also create a new digital ID for your child, which you can have sent to him or to you via the e-mail address you enter here.

7. After completing this form, you will be taken back to the previous screen. Click "Continue."

8. Then select whom you want to register from the list and "Add Individuals To Cart."
9. Click "Continue."
10. Now you are on the registration form. Most information will be generated for you, but you should verify it and then continue through the form. 

 

*The Social Security number (SSN) you provide for enrollment purposes, or when requesting specific services, will be used by the University to verify your identity for official record keeping and reporting. If you choose not to supply your SSN, certain services—such as transcripts, enrollment verification, tax reporting, and financial aid—may not be available to you, and Penn State cannot guarantee a complete academic record for you. Your SSN will be stored in a central system and used only as a primary source to identify you within the Penn State system; the Penn State ID will be used as the primary identifier.
