A non-refundable deposit of $75/session is required to reserve a space for your camper. Paid deposits are counted as payments toward the full registration fee. You can make payments towards your registration balance at any time up to Friday May 2, 2025. Any remaining unpaid balance will be automatically charged to your credit card on file at that time.

If you register your camper within four weeks of the first day of the season, you will be required to pay the total registration amount.

Being outdoors in small groups, regular hand washing, sanitizing surfaces, and ongoing health monitoring by camp staff are our primary defenses against the spreading of communicable diseases at camp. We ask that families do their part by keeping campers home if they are showing signs of illness within a 24-hour period prior to coming to camp. Campers will be isolated, and parents notified to pick them up if they show signs of illness, such as:

• A temperature of at least 100.4 in combination with at least one other symptom of illness
• Diarrhea
• Severe coughing
• Difficulty breathing
• Evidence of untreated lice
• Sore throat or difficulty swallowing
• Vomiting more than one time or when accompanied by any other symptom of illness

See the parent handbook or downloadable policies for more detailed information.

Starting in the Summer of 2025, Camp Mary Orton will use Procare Solutions to collect camp forms electronically, including waivers, pickup authorizations, and medical and emergency contact information. Procare replaces paper forms and allows us to communicate with you in the event of an illness, injury, or larger-scale emergency.

How it works:

1. After registering your camper through Procare, you’ll receive notification to complete your summer health forms for Camp Mary Orton.
2. Create a free account or log-in if you already have an existing ProCare account.
3. Enter the required information, like medical conditions, and share it with Camp Mary Orton so that program staff has access.
4. ProCare health forms are due no later than 14 days prior to the beginning of your camper’s session. A late $15 late-fee will be charged to the card on file for forms not submitted by this point. Campers will not be permitted to be at camp with incomplete forms.

Deposits are never refunded except when a program is canceled by Camp Mary Orton. Registration fees minus the deposit can be refunded when cancellation occurs at least 14 days prior to the start of your child’s camp session. Participants assume risk and responsibility for changes in personal schedules or health.

To cancel a registration, please contact the Camp Mary Orton office at 614.706.2550. You must speak with Camp Mary Orton administrative staff to cancel. A voicemail message will not be considered proper notification of cancellation for refund purposes. Please note that your $75 deposit is non-refundable if you cancel your registration.

Because of the additional cost of processing a change request, a $15 fee will be assessed for changing your camper’s week once you have registered.

We believe that making new friends is a core value of our camps, and when too many campers already know each other in one group, the experience of any new campers is less positive. Accordingly, ANY friend request is limited to 2 friends in total. If requests are made, the SAME requests must be made from ALL parties. Please note that we do our best to ensure that all campers in a group are close to the same age, and requests between separate camp programs Discovery Day Camp, Adventure Academy Base Camp A, and Adventure Academy Base Camp B are not possible.

We ask that you honor the scheduled program times, Adventure Academy 9:00 am-4:00 pm and Discovery Day Camp 8:30 am-3:30 pm, as closely as possible.

For any camper not picked up by 3:45 pm for Discovery Day Camp and 4:15 pm for Adventure Academy, a $15.00 fee will be charged for every 15 minutes (or portion thereof) that your camper remains at camp. This fee will be applied to your ProCare account and automatically charged to the card on file.

During the original interest form a question will be asked regarding your interest in sponsoring a camper for a Camp Mary Orton program. If you would like to sponsor a camper who may not have an opportunity to attend camp please fill in the amount you would like to contribute. This step is 100% optional. We thank you for your consideration.
