Summer Camp FAQ

Where can I register for Waycross Camp programs?                                                                                                                                                          Registration is available online via our registration portal. If you are new to the portal, you will need to create an account. If you have registered through the portal before, you can log into your previous account.

What camper forms must be submitted to camp?                                                                                                                                                                    The following forms must be submitted to camp, at least two weeks prior to your camper’s arrival: Camper Health History Form; Physical Examination Form Signed by a Licensed Medical Professional; and Adventure Participation Agreement. In order to receive the early bird registration discount, the Camper Health History Form and Adventure Participation Agreement must be completed and submitted by April 14.

Where can paperwork be submitted?                                                                                                                                                                                        All camper paperwork should be submitted through the online registration portal. If you have issues with submitting your paperwork, please call the office at 812.597.4241.

How are cabins assigned?                                                                                                                                                                                                          Cabins are assigned based on age and gender. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the housing assignment process, please contact the Camp Director at waycross.camp@gmail.com.

Waycross is dedicated to providing safe and comfortable housing for campers of all gender identities. We will work with you and your camper to determine the best cabin assignment, prior to the start of camp. Please contact the Camp Director to begin this process.

Can I request a bunk mate for my camper? We understand how important it is for your camper, especially first time campers, to feel comfortable in their cabin. Each camper may request one buddy at the time of registration, and the request must appear on both campers’ registration forms. The campers’ ages and grades must be the same or within one year of each other. Although we try our best to honor all buddy requests, we cannot guarantee that all requests will be honored. Questions or concerns regarding buddy requests may be directed to the Camp Director at waycross.camp@gmail.com.

What is the refund policy?                                                                                                                                                                                                          An $80 nonrefundable deposit (per camper, per session) is due at the time of registration. If you are unable to attend your session, please call our office at 812.597.4241 as soon as possible. Prior to two weeks before the session start date, a refund may be given minus the nonrefundable deposit. After two weeks before the session start date, no refunds may be given.

Is scholarship assistance available?                                                                                                                                                                                          Waycross’ policy is that no child or family will be denied a camping experience due to financial circumstances. Scholarships are available for both children and adults attending Waycross events and summer camp programs. Families must complete a scholarship request form to be considered for financial aid. We also encourage families to seek assistance from their parish, congregation, or other organizations. More information on our scholarship policy can be found here.
