Beginning of Month Prior to Camp - Scholarship Spots No Longer Held 

  • If your week is primarily scholarship, your registration process will remain the same.

  • If you have scholarship spots and non-scholarship spots remaining at this time, registration will be first come first serve, and scholarship campers will not be guaranteed their spot - even if they have a code in hand.

  • If the only available spots in your week of camp are scholarship, we will re-open registration to those who are not coming on scholarship. If you do not want us to release these spots for some reason, you must let registration know by emailing cityscholarships@pinecove.com.

  • June churches guarantees are released on May 1. July church guarantees are released on June 1.

Three Weeks Prior to Camp 

Host Home Information Due

  • Send your Host Home information to your Site Director using the spreadsheet provided. More information for Host Homes is on our Host Homes Page. Please make sure this information is turned in by this time so we can effectively communicate with our host families and set them up well! The key to great host home communication is getting this completed document 3 weeks in advance of your week of camp.

Six Days Before Camp (Tuesday Prior)

  • Registration closes at midnight online. Any exceptions must be called in and approved by our registration department. All exceptions are based on whether we have an opening for the specific age and gender of the camper. You can reach our registration team at 1-877-474-6326.
