Application and Supplemental Materials
The camp application (where you'll answer a set of questions and write a short essay) also asks you to supply us with a teacher’s name and email address so that we can request a letter of recommendation. We will contact the teacher directly for this letter.
In addition, the application has a place for you to upload a signed Photo Release Form. Please read, sign, have your parent/guardian read and sign, and then upload the form to the application. We will take a few group photos at the camp and we need your permission to share them.
