Zip & Raft: Middle

If your camper sits right on the edge of this week's grades, call us at 828-209-6302 before you decide. A year either way can matter more than the number on the page, and we'd rather talk it through with you than have you guess.

And if the bigger question is whether they'll make friends, ask us that too.

Then tell us, and we'll work it out with you.

You choose one of three price tiers, and the tier you choose stays between you and us. Every camper gets the same week, whichever tier you pick.

If Tier I is still out of reach, there are scholarship funds for families in that spot, and our registration office can set up a payment plan.

A $175 deposit holds your camper's place when you register.

Phones and other devices stay home at summer camp, and campers don't usually call home while they're here.

If you need to reach your camper, call the office at 828-209-6302.

Every form is completed online in CampWise when you register, including your camper's health information and the waiver. There's nothing to download or mail.

The week you register is the easiest time to finish them.
