We are experimenting with a “lottery” to accommodate camp overflow this year – you need to register between April 26-30 to be part of the lottery. We will do the drawing around May 7 and notify folks if they are registered or on the wait list. Later registrants (after May 1) will be added at the end of the wait list.
