🔸Summer 2026 TA Application Instructions🔸
We process hundreds of applications each year. All applicants must carefully follow all steps below to avoid any errors or missing documents. Missing documents, incomplete or false information, or missed deadlines will be taken into consideration during our application review process.
❗There are two application windows. The first application wave runs from March 5 to March 23, and the second wave runs from March 24 to April 20. Please see the application packet for more details.❗

🔴 Step 3: Online Application Form and PAYMENT
You can apply to up to 3 different camp sessions, and you may or may not be selected to serve for all 3 sessions you select. Please only apply to the sessions you are able and willing to volunteer at! Applying to more sessions will not increase your odds of being selected.
The application processing fee is $50 per applicant per transaction and will be due at the time of application.
Please note: Each applicant must complete a separate application form. Families with multiple applicants will have to complete multiple transactions.
Please note: The online application form does not automatically save your responses. Do not refresh or visit a previous page when you are completing the application. We recommend having all required documents ready before starting the application, including your responses to the short answer questions.

-If you receive the accepted e-mail notification, please mail in the $100 refundable deposit (one check per camp session) by April 17 or May 15 (postmarked) to secure the volunteer position. If the deadline is not met, we will consider you to have automatically resigned from the TA position.
