Frequently Asked Questions about Registration.
What platform do you use to collect registrations?
We use a secure online platform called Active for our registration process. If you would prefer to register with a paper registration, you can download it here.
What information do I need to have in order to complete a registration?
We suggest you have your insurance information, doctor’s contact information, and emergency contact information (this cannot be the primary parent/guardian) on hand for registration.
When is my final payment due?
Your full balance is due by June 30th. Late fees may be applied for late payments.
Can I request a specific Cabin Counselor?
If you wish to request a specific volunteer cabin counselor, you may do so by making a note in one of the “cabinmate request” fields.
What if the week I want to send my child to Camp is full when I try to sign up?
If a week is full by the time you try to sign up, you can choose to join a waitlist. Joining a waitlist does not require you to pay a deposit. You will be notified if a spot becomes available. You may want to register your child for a different week to ensure they get a spot. If a spot opens up in your first choice week, we can transfer your registration from the business office.
What is the difference between Residential weeks and Wilderness weeks?
When a camper signs up for a residential week, they will stay in Cabins on the Camp Fowler property for their week of Camp. They will eat in our dining hall and enjoy activities both at Camp Fowler and as day trips from the property.
Wilderness weeks are 4-night, 5 day overnight expedition trips. Campers will carry all their gear, food, and personal items in backpacks and camp at primitive campsites around the Adirondacks. These trips depart from Camp Monday morning and return Friday afternoon.
How much is owed at the time of registration?
A $150 deposit is due at registration. If you are registering online, this must be paid via credit card. This deposit is non-refundable.
Can I make changes to my registration after it’s submitted?
You can access your registration account any time to make updates, changes, or payments. You can do this by visiting your online account.
Do I register my child for the grade they are going into or the grade they are currently in?
For us, a camper’s grade refers to the grade they are currently in. By the time summer arrives, this will be the grade they just completed.
Can my child be in a cabin with their friends?
Each camper may make up to three cabinmate requests for each week of Camp. In order for us to honor the request, both campers must request each other on their registration forms. Changes to cabinmate requests made after May 31st may not be honored.
For Una Tierra, we split campers into cabins of 3rd-6th graders and 7th-12th graders. We cannot accommodate cabinmate requests that cross these age divisions for Una Tierra weeks.
What does a week of Camp cost?
We use a tiered pricing system at Camp Fowler. This means you may choose from three tiers what is most appropriate for your family to pay based on your individual circumstances. Learn more here.
Do you offer Scholarships?
We are committed to ensuring that any child who wants to come to Camp, can. We have many scholarship opportunities available. Please visit our financial assistance page to learn more.
