Parent/Guardian Agreement: This application does not serve as acceptance to the financial assistance program. If my camper is awarded a campership, I will communicate to my camper that camp has rules and safety standards. Should your camper, for any reason, not adjust to camp life, you will be advised by the camp director or executive director and be asked to pick him/her up from camp. Additional payments beyond the $35.00 application fee (non-refundable) must be made in full no later than two weeks prior to the start of the chosen camp session.

Camper Agreement: I wish to attend Dahlem Outdoor Adventure Day Camp and agree to the camp rules; I agree to abide by the rules established for all campers and to use behavior appropriate to Dahlem Outdoor Adventure Day Camp expectations; to try new activities; to become part of my team group; respect the camp’s natural environment; and not to use illegal substances, or weapons. I understand that I may be sent home early if I do not follow camp rules and guidelines.
