Common Questions About Online Registration

Your username and password is sent to you on either an "Acceptance" or "Waiting List" letter. We would have sent this letter to your home address when you registered your child for kamp in the past. If you send multiple kids to kamp, your username will be the same on all applications. Once assigned a username, it will never change or expire.

If you have an e-mail address on file with us (if you provided it on a past application it will be) then you can use that as your username. If you do not have an e-mail address on file with us, please call our registration department at (417) 266-3200to have your e-mail address added to your account. Once we have an e-mail address on file for you, return to this step, enter your e-mail address, and click the "Forgot your password?" link to retrieve your password via e-mail.

NOTE: For security, our registration department does not have access to your password. You must use this page to retrieve your password.

We cannot guarantee or predict how many Kampers will be enrolled off of any given waiting list since it is dependant on how many cancellations we receive. However, the waiting list gauge () can help you get a better idea of the size of a particular waiting list. This gauge indicates the likelihood of a Kamper being enrolled off the waiting list if they were put on at this moment. This gauge is based on past cancellation history which may or may not be an indication of this year's cancellation rate. If a particular Kamp has a white waiting list gauge listed, it is because that Kamp does not have historical data.
