How to Apply to LDP
Your family will log in following our traditional procedures to apply, see link at the bottom of this webpage, however our Leadership Programs have some extra steps:
- Step One- Done by Parent/Guardian- When entering the on-line application, parent/guardians will use their email as the account log in. Within this application, you will request the programs and choose additional items such as bus, etc. Then you will head into the forms part of the application. Within that area, there is a basic LDP form for both programs and a medical form that needs to be completed by the parent/guardians. The final part, within the database, CampBrain, is the payment screen. Payment of a deposit (minimum) must accompany the on-line application. Once these steps have been taken, a confirmation of your on-line application will be received via parent's email, in that email, there is a link to the Google Form that the applicant themselves should complete.
- Step Two- The Participant's Application. Parents/guardians will receive a confirmation email which has a link to the form for the LDP program.
- Step Three- Camp Review. What the parent/guardian does in the on-line application will be reviewed along with what the applicant submits. If one part is missing then the application is considered incomplete.
Leadership programs are not first-come/first-serve and are openly accepted for everyone until the first round of applications are completed. The first round is those applications received by January 15, 2023 at 11:30 p.m ET and review with offers will go out by the end of January. After the deadline, all applications are reviewed by the camp management team, and spaces are allotted accordingly. Placement is allotted based on camper interest, history at camp, and outside experience by the individual. Everyone is welcome to apply, as no factors outweigh others and all applications will be reviewed. After the deadline passes, placement will occur on a first come-first served based on suitability for the programs and IF space is available.
