Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can we sign up for multiple weeks?
We ask that you enroll your child in one week of camp. If you’re interested in another week of camp, please sign up for our waitlist so that we can contact you if space becomes available.
What if I want to enroll my child with a friend?
Registration days will be assigned by family, not friend groups. Fortunately, we believe our camps are great places to meet peers and develop new friendships. That said, if you want your child to be in the same camp as a peer, and that peer has a later registration date, you may wait until that later date to register both children at the same time.
When does my child need to be the requisite age for camp?
Camp is organized by age, not grade level. Children should be the requisite age by the time camp begins. For example, children enrolling in the June 15-19 Flying Squirrels camp should be 6 years old by June 15, the first day of camp.
My child falls into more than one age group. What age group should I sign up for?
You can self select which group you think will be a better fit for your child, and what works best for your family. An 8-year-old, for example, may participate in Flying Squirrels (6-8), Porcupines (7-9), or Marmots (8-11).
What paperwork and legal waivers are required?
All Discovery Southeast programs require a Participant Agreement for each child. This form includes medical information, risk acknowledgment, and legal waivers. The information you share helps us support your child and is kept confidential.
Families are encouraged to complete the Participant Agreement before registration. If it is not completed in advance, the form must be submitted within 48 hours of registering to finalize your child’s enrollment.
If your child has participated in Haadaa Héeni or Discovery Day programs during the 2025-2026 school year, you do not need to submit a new Participant Agreement unless there are updates to any of your information.
Please note: Completing a Participant Agreement in advance does not guarantee a camp spot.
What's expected of my child at camp?
We are committed to fostering a supportive environment where every participant can enjoy a meaningful camp experience. Kindness is a core value — extended to ourselves, to one another, and to the land. To ensure the wellbeing of the group, campers are expected to follow all instructions provided by adult leaders.
If your child would benefit from 1:1 support during the camp day, please provide details in your Participant Agreement. We aim to provide extra support whenever possible. Important information to describe in the Participant Agreement includes: common triggers, communication preferences, sensory considerations, group dynamics, and/or preferred methods to self-regulate. We will follow up via phone or email to discuss information provided in the Participant Agreement and confirm next steps.
Our programs often involve using the bathroom in the woods. A few locations have access to a toilet; however, your child should be prepared to use nature’s “facilities.” Staff will support your child, if needed, in learning this “outdoor skill” while maintaining privacy.
How does the waitlist work?
We keep a waitlist for every camp that fills up.
We enroll children from the waitlist when other participants cancel. If a camp is full or you’re interested in an additional week, you’re welcome to join the waitlist here. We’ll notify you via email if a spot becomes available for your child.
