IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ: Registering for the “Camp Paha Pre-registration” sessions puts you on a “waitlist” for that session and does not guarantee your registration for that session. When campers are promoted off the waitlist, you will receive an email notification that you have been transferred to the official Paha registration, where you will pay the remaining registration fee ($700 for Lakewood residents and $900 for Non Residents if you paid the $50 deposit during pre-registration). You will also be sent an email requesting the completion of your camper’s ePACT profile. All families will be required to provide documentation of a physical from the last six months. Families registering for both sessions will be asked to rank a first and second choice of sessions.

Depending on staffing availability sessions may be limited to one per camper.
