Next Steps – Additional Information
After you have registered your child(ren) for camp, please log into your CampInTouch account and complete these additional items:
- Transportation Information

Within 10 days of your child coming to camp you will also need to fill out the Health Form (no physical is needed). It will be online in your CampInTouch account 10 days prior to camp.
Next Steps – Financial Aid
We believe a camp experience should be affordable to all, including multiple sessions. Financial aid is available through the Campership Fund – an organization that supports individuals going to all Christian Science camps. Simply fill out their campership application after you’ve enrolled in camp. (Note: please request the full campership amount you need from the Campership Fund. They will meet up to 75% of tuition costs, and if your needs exceed that, the additional amount is automatically passed along to us. There is no need to fill out a separate campership form for the A/U Ranches.)
If travel assistance is also needed, please log into your Camp InTouch account and fill out the appropriate form.
