You can pay your balance in one of two ways:
Option 1: Before the deadline, visit our Parent Portal, log-in with your registration username andpassword, click your initials at the top right corner for a drop down menu, click “my dashboard” and it will take you to your balance. Click “make payment” to pay your balance.
Option 2: Do nothing! After the deadline, Camp Evergreen will process your remaining balance using the card you originally registered with.
*Please note: For credit and debit card payments we accept Visa, MasterCard and Discover, but we do not accept American Express.

Each year, Camp Evergreen raises funds for camper scholarships, sending more than 180 economically-disadvantaged children to summer camp. We work with various organizations to host three scholarship camp sessions each summer—at no cost to the campers. We are so grateful to our donors for providing such a life-changing experience to so many children!
We also set aside a small amount of funding to assist campers in our other sessions.

For many scholarship campers, this will be their first ever camp experience. Our hope is that experiencing the joys of summer camp and being in nature can give them the freedom to just simply enjoy being a kid.
Join us in making this possible.

Camp Evergreen will notify you by email if a spot in the session becomes available, and you'll have a limited time (typically 2-3 days) to respond and claim your spot. You may also contact Camp Director Katie to check on waitlist status.
-
Cabins are assigned by gender and grade level. You will have the opportunity to request one cabin mate when you register or at any point, you can log back into the Parent Portal to make the request.
Your request will only be honored if the requested camper also requests you during the registration process. If you need to add a request after you've completed online registration, contact Camp Director Katie.
We're sorry, but requests for multiple cabin mates cannot be honored.

Trunks are not required for camp, however many campers like to pack in them for easier access to their clothing. Clothing will be kept inside your camper's trunk or bag underneath a bunk bed which has a clearance of 17 inches. The under-bed space will be shared by a bunk mate. Bathroom items will be kept in a small cubby in the bathroom.
To see the complete packing list, check out our Overnight Camp Handbook.
-
If you add the horseback option to your registration, you will pay an additional fee for a one-time trail ride at Sunburst Stables, 15 minutes down the road from camp.
Horseback riding takes place during Choice Time (we take up to 14 campers per day). Campers who are not riding that day or at all will have fun, alternate activities to choose from during that time.

No, campers do not need any money at camp. You can automatically add camp store cash to your child’s registration account.

Mail and care packages can also be dropped off at the registration table on Opening Day. We will ask you to label mail with your child’s name and the day you’d like the mail to be given out.
With the exception of Opening and Closing Day, mail is distributed daily to campers after lunch during Rest Time.
Don’t forget to send your child with letter writing supplies if you’d like to hear from them!
Download the Bunk1 App and log in—using the same credentials you use for the Parent Portal. Within the Bunk1 app, you can send emails to your camper!
Care Package Policy
We know campers love to receive goodies at camp, but please do not send any food items. We promise to fill your child’s stomach with three wonderful meals a day and even s’mores! Due to critters and limited food storage space, we have to throw out any food items that are sent.
