REGISTRATION UPDATES
Over the summer a parent committee met and decided during the first week of
registration to limit each Day-Camper’s participation to one week of camp
(2nd-6th grade). While you may register for only one day camp session, you can
place yourself on wait lists of session’s that are full.
Beginning March 10 at 7:30 a.m., you will have the opportunity to register
your child for additional weeks, based on availability.
LIT (13-14 years) is limited to one week. Wild Things (k-1st grade) is not
limited to one week, but because of the nature of the camp we recommend a limit
of two.
Kermit Knew it Ain’t Easy Being Green…During the payment process,
you will have the opportunity to help all students in Santa Clara County by
donating to the Walden West Foundation’s campaign to fund the very green (not
just the color) Science Learning Center Lab. You’ll be amazed at the new
lodge. The Science lab will be just as impressive!
HOW TO REGISTER
This year Walden West is continuing with on-line registration. Beginning Feb.
21, you can create a secure family profile to allow for faster registration on
Feb. 29. Then, when registering your children on Feb. 29, just select the week
you would like for each child. Sessions fill extremely quickly.
In the past, some of you registered as a group, with one person registering
for the entire group. We ask that each family register on their own because we
need correct email, address, and phone numbers for each family in order to
communicate with you.
You will not be able to pay during registration Feb. 29, and must
return to our website to complete payment for each week of camp by March 4 or
you will be taken off the roster. Beginning March 1, payment must be made at the
time of registration.
Once enrolled, you will receive an e-mail confirmation. An additional
confirmation will be sent after payment has been made and registration is
complete. At that time you will also be asked to download a health form for each
child and a camp information sheet.
Starting March 10 at 7:30, based on availability, we will accept computer
registration for additional sessions as well as walk-in, faxed, and mailed
registrations.
