Please note that the CampMinder registration system works best when you use Chrome or Firefox. To register, submit a completed online application form, $65 processing fee, and $250 deposit.

Only online applications are available. We do not have paper applications.
Applications are processed in the order in which they are recieved. Please give the camp team 48 business hours post-registration to process your application. If no spaces are available, we will place your application on a waitlist. Your $65 processing fee is non-refundable.
Once your applicaiton is accepted, your form of payment will be charged the $250 nonrefunable deposit.
If you wish to be placed on a waitlist, the $250 deposit will only be processed once you confirm you wish to join the list. If you do not wish to be on the waitlist, and you remove your name from the waitlist any time prior to an offer of a camp slot; or if we cannot offer you a space from the waitlist.
Payment can be made by eCheck, debit card, or by credit card. A 2% convenience fee will be added to all credit card charges.

* Please note that you can change your enrolled sessions without penalty until April 1, 2022. Starting April 2, 2022 you will still be responsible for 50% of the tuition if you change your registration to fewer weeks.

Camp Enrollment

Priority Registration

Priority registration is given to 2022 Green Acres Summer Camp campers and their siblings, current Green Acres School students and their siblings, children of a Green Acres School alumna/alumnus, and campers who remained on the waitlist as of May 21, 2022.

Priority applications are processed upon receipt. The $65.00 processing fee and $250.00 deposit are nonrefundable. Priority applications received after the deadline will be placed into the pool with all new applications.

Returning camp families can access the 2023 application on their CampMinder portal starting January 2, 2023.
Waitlisted families with priority for this camp season will receive the 2023 application link by email. If you do not receive it, please call the Camp Office at 301-468-8110.
Green Acres School alumni need to call the Camp Office to receive the link.

Financial Aid

Tuition grants are available. Grants are determined by financial need and availability of funds. To ensure objectivity, Green Acres School subscribes to the School and Student Service for Financial Aid (SSS). This service requires parents to send a Parents' Financial Statement (PFS) with a small application fee. Based on the Parents' Financial Statement, SSS considers total income, assets, number of dependents, age of parents, retirement provisions, and extraordinary expenses to calculate a family’s discretionary income. In situations of separation or divorce, each parent is required to complete all forms separately. All information is treated confidentially. A complete financial aid application requires the following forms and documents to be submitted by the deadlines below.

Financial Aid Instructions can be found below or HERE

By March 1st, 2023:

1. Notify camp@greenacres.org that you will begin the application process by completing this form.

2. Complete the Parents Financial Statement (PFS) from School and Student Services (SSS). The Green Acres’ code is 3505. All parents/guardians must complete this form. If parents are divorced or separated, each parents/guardians must complete an individual PFS. Please submit the form online at https://tinyurl.com/yckd9p3a

3. Upload a copy of your 2022 Federal Tax Return (including schedules) and copies of all 2021 & 2022 W-2s and/or 1099-Misc to the SSS website.

4. Upload a copy of IRS Form 4506-T to the SSS website (not the IRS website). Do not send any money with this form.

Note: If you are already submitting SSS, tax return and 4506-T forms to Green Acres School for the 2023-2024 school year, you DO NOT need to also submit them for camp. You will still need to submit the Green Acres Day Camp Financial Aid Request Form.

The deadline for submitting financial aid requests is March 1st, 2023. Only completed applications will be considered for financial aid.

Please note: Families must re-apply for camp financial aid each year. And the percentage of financial aid from Green Acres School does not automatically apply for summer camp.

Waitlist & Withdrawal

If new applications for a particular age group exceed the spaces available for new campers, a waitlist of up to 15 campers will be maintained.

To be on the waitlist, the application and deposit must have been received by the Camp Office. A letter confirming the waitlist spot will be emailed back to the applicant.

Openings can occur at any time before May. Once you are offered admission to camp from the wait list, your tuition deposit is NOT refundable. Those families remaining on the waitlist as of May 19, 2023 will be given priority status for the 2024 camp year. Camp tuition deposits will be refunded if the camper is not offered a spot. You may remove your name from the waitlist at any time prior to an offer of a camp slot and your tuition deposit will be returned to you.

Should you need to withdraw your camper from Green Acres School Summer Camp, you must do so in writing. Your $250 tuition deposit and $65 application fee cannot be refunded for any reason. If you withdraw or want to change your registration to fewer weeks after April 1, 2022 you will still be responsible for fifty percent of your tuition. Any withdrawals, registrations or changing registrations to fewer weeks after May 1, 2022 will be responsible for the full tuition.

Due to the constantly evolving COVID-19 landscape, programs may expand or change to ensure the health and safety of our camp community and meet new requirements. At a minimum, Green Acres Day Camp's COVID-related protocols will comply with applicable State of Maryland mandates and align with Montgomery Country Health Division. As we progress through the pandemic and towards the summer season, we may alter, cancel, or replace certain aspects of camp. If we do, this web page will be updated and registrants will be notified by email. Depending on the severity of a change, we may offer registrants a full refund. Otherwise, our regular cancellation policy remains in effect.
