Summer is finally upon us and we are pleased to announce the Camping Registration for the 2026 season is open!

These trips are overnight and aim to give members a proper camping experience. That means being outdoors, tents, campfires, and more!

In your registration, you will be asked to indicate all camping dates that work for you along with some other important questions.

We would like you to indicate your top 3 trips you would like to attend. We will not be able to accommodate you on all trips you have indicated your availability for, however, we will do our best to ensure everyone is able to join us for at least one camping trip this Summer!

PLEASE NOTE: We recommend an age of 8+ for camping - this may be negotiable depending on the participant and their support needs.

Most of our trips are two-nights. If your camper would prefer to stay only one night, please let us know and we can arrange a mid-trip pickup. We want to ensure our trips are accessible to everyone!

If your camper knows another member who they would like to camp with, please let us know and we will do our best to ensure they are scheduled for the same trip. We want to ensure that everyone is as comfortable as possible!

Registration for this Camping Registration will close on May 15th.

All campers will be notified of their trips no later than May 29th.
