Policies & Contracts

• Camp registration is online only. To fully register for camps, you must complete the Health Profile 100%. The registration platform we’ll use for 2025 will be determined at a later date.
• Camp spaces are assigned to campers in the order that the registration is received. Morehead’s online registration system provides real-time status updates that show the spaces remaining in each camp as you register.
• Your child can participate only in those camps designed for the grade level they will enter in fall 2025. NO EXCEPTIONS. This will ensure the best possible academic and social environment for all campers.
• Your child can participate in a named camp only once during the summer. For example, a camper cannot register for “LEGO Robotics” more than once.
