Registration Notes
Here are a few notes to keep in mind as you work on your application.
- We will process applications in the order that we receive them.
- Due to the high volume of applications we receive, it can take approximately two weeks to process your application.
- We require a deposit in order to secure your camper’s spot, which will be due once your child is accepted and enrolled. We can only guarantee your camper’s spot once this deposit is processed.
- The deposit is $1000 for Sessions 3, 4, 5 & ALL Expeditions and $500 for Session 1 and 2.
Waitlist
Summer Camp Waitlist
There are 10 waitlist spots per camp session. Priority will be given to returning GRP campers & their siblings and legacies. Remaining spaces are filled on a first come first serve basis. If we receive your application after we have reached capacity for the program in which you applied, you will be notified that your camper has been placed on our waiting list. You may apply to your second choice camp session while still holding one waitlist spot, but if you choose to transfer to our expedition program you must forfeit your camp session waitlist spot. Regular enrollment processes and payment policies apply if you enroll on a second roster.
On April 1, all campers on a waitlist must pay a fully refundable deposit to remain on the waitlist. By remaining on the waitlist and paying a deposit, you agree to reserve or decline a roster spot within 24 hours if offered and you are aware that you could be offered a spot within days of the start of the camp session. You may remove yourself at any time from the waitlist after April 1 as well for a refund of your deposit. The deposit is $500 for 5-6 day sessions and BCX and $1000 for 12-19 day sessions and BRX.
The deposit is simply held to assist us in a quick turn around of enrollment of your camper in the event of a cancellation. At the beginning of the session in which your camper is waitlisted, any deposit or payment made will be refunded or returned if space does not become available or if you would like to remove yourself from the waiting list at any time. You may also choose to roll over the waitlist deposit to 2026 registration.
Expeditions Waitlist
There are 5 waitlist spots per Expedition. Priority will be given to returning GRP campers & their siblings and legacies. Remaining spaces are filled on a first come first serve basis. If we receive your application after we have reached capacity for the program in which you applied, you will be notified that your camper has been placed on our waiting list.

Scholarships
We want camp to be possible for every child, and actively work to build our scholarship funds, partnerships, and access to camp. If you would like to be considered for a scholarship, check “yes” next to “seeking scholarship” on the camper application. We make our initial scholarships decisions in January and then on a rolling basis, as available, after that. We are constantly seeking grants and charitable donations to support our scholarship fund. Please help us bring children to camp by donating and supporting our outreach efforts! For a full description of our scholarship program, see our Ways to Save page that also includes details on work trade opportunities and more ways to save on your child’s summer camp experience.
Payment Information
Upon acceptance to Green River Preserve, you have agreed to the following payment parameters:
- Pay deposit upon two weeks of receiving notification of acceptance in order to secure enrollment. For our 12-19 day Camp Sessions (3, 4 & 6) and Expedition programs the deposit is $1000. For our 5-6 day Camp Sessions (1 and 2) the deposit is $500.
- Pay 50% of the total tuition by February 1st.
- Pay the tuition balance by April 1st.
- After February 1st, 50% of total tuition is due when enrolling.
- After April 1st, full tuition is required upon acceptance.
- For payment we accept personal checks and E-checks from US banks only (we’ll need your bank’s routing number and your checking account number). Please make out checks to “Green River Preserve.” For credit card payment, there is a 3.0% processing fee. Payment plans can be arranged on an individual basis.
- Your payment helps inspire environmental stewards, maybe more than you know! We are investing 1% of tuition into tangible sustainability projects at camp. From reusable materials and local food, to compost and clean energy – you are helping us teach, delight, and inspire campers to live responsibly and protect our environment. We thank you!
Cancellation and Refund Policy
In the event of withdrawal, tuition is refundable, minus a $500 cancellation fee, if written notice is received by the camp office by February 1st. For cancellations after February 1st, tuition is non-refundable. If a participant withdraws voluntarily or is sent home as a consequence of unacceptable behavior, no refund will be granted. As of June 1st, any past due accounts will result in cancellation of camper’s enrollment and no refund of any tuition.
In order to protect Camp for future generations, as a result of binding commitments that the Camp must enter into in order to conduct camp with appropriate levels of staff and medical personnel and the cost of readying the Camp to open, no refunds will be given in the event of an Act of God, War, Terrorism, Civil Unrest, Pandemic, other matters beyond the control of the Camp, or any other non-personal situation that, in the Camp’s sole judgment, could lead to significant cancellations that would have a negative financial impact on the future of Camp.
