A friend told me about this camp her daughter participated in 2010. The application is long but worth every minute spent on it and check the immunization requirements to make sure your comfortable with it before filling out the paperwork. The 12 year old friend had a fabulous time and the camp itself is amazing. Worth checking it out!
They start accepting applications in November of the previous year.
