HOW TO ENROLL

APPLICATION PROCESS
Go online to esfcamps.com/Bethesda and click ENROLL to build your summer schedule in the ESF Program Finder. Once your camp schedule is completed, click “ENROLL NOW” which brings you to our registration page. You will receive a confirmation email and will be prompted to set up your family portal. The portal will give you access to your camper(s)’ enrollment and all required camp forms prior to the start of camp, including your child’s medical clearance, emergency contacts, and authorized pick-up information. 

PAYMENTS
A 25% deposit will be due at the time of enrollment. The deposit option expires on May 1, 2024.

After May 1, 2024, all registrations will be required to be paid in full at the time of enrollment.

The balance of tuition is due by May 31, 2024. 

LIMITED ENROLLMENT
To maintain a low camper-to-staff ratio and to ensure a quality experience for your child, registrations are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.

 

 

 

ADDING MORE WEEKS
More camp weeks means more fun! You can add more weeks at any time, based on availability. Additional weeks are subject to the  published tuition rate at checkout. (For example: if you add more weeks after any promotion, you will be adding weeks at the current published rate.  

CHANGES IN ENROLLMENT
Starting on May 1, 2024 (or later): Changes in enrollment are based on availability, and that do not involve a reduction in weeks are subject to a $50 transfer fee per child for each request. (Applicable only to camp programming changes; for example: changing from Day Camp to UA Multi-Sports Lab will be subject to a $50 transfer fee).

IN-SEASON REGISTRATION DEADLINE
Once the camp season begins, camp registrations and session options must be completed by 6 pm on Wednesday to get on our camp rosters for the following week. Same-week changes are not permitted once camp starts. In-season tuition rates apply.

GROUPING/FRIEND REQUESTS
Due to limited enrollment, we do our best to accommodate friend requests made before May 1, 2024. Any requests made after the deadline cannot be guaranteed.

Please note: Your child’s grouping will not be completed until all health form requirements are received. All grouping assignments are done by same rising grade level, program type and camp week(s).
