  • Admission is COMPETITIVE. All applications submitted before the March 15th deadline are pooled by camp preferences and graded by each camp's committee. Applications are "blind", meaning no personal identifying information is provided to the committees prior to selection. The quality of an applicant's hobbies, interests, and essay questions is important! Depending on each camp's capacity, the top 24 - 30 applicants are selected and will be notified of their acceptance on or before April 15, 2022.

  • If you are selected to attend camp, you must secure your spot at camp with a $100 non-refundable deposit, which will be applied toward your $500 camp tuition. Deposits for ALL 2022 Camps are due by May 15, 2022. If your deposit is not received by the deadline, your spot will be offered to another cadet and your application will be added to a waitlist.
