REMEMBER: ENROLLED (unsubmitted) IS NOT THAT SAME AS REGISTERED
ENROLLED ("unsubmitted") means that you have started your camper application and perhaps even completed the entire application. This includes the health form and digital signature of waivers. If a third-party is completing the online registration, we will update the camper to registered with we receive the parent signature page. You are not registered until a deposit is paid.
REGISTERED means that you have completed your camper application AND provided the minimum payment.
This is a cloud based application. Each section or module automatically saves as you complete a page. If you should lose your connection or close your browser, your information should still be there.
There is a toll-free help line that is especially helpful for returning campers to find their login information.
HOW DO WE REGISTER FOR TRANSPORTATION? The South Florida Van registration and payment is included on the camper application. If you did not choose transportation inititially and are returning to the "dashboard" to add transportation,
- Find the Transportation Tab in the Options box,
- Look for "routes".
- You must select both the pickup and dropoff locations.
- There are only two pickup/drop of locations: PGA Blvd and Pembroke Pines.
- The charge is $20 each ($40 round-trip) - added to the mandatory deposit.
CAMPER ASSISTANCE FUND
The board of directors does not wish for a child be be denied a week of camp because they cannot pay.
Look for "Camper Assistance" under Online Forms on the dashboard. The Camper Assistance module is an optional form that appears in the list of available forms for everyone. You must enroll your camper in a week of camp to see this form. Remember, enrolled status is still "unsubmitted". Registration is not complete and confirmed without a deposit.
When the camper assistance request is processed, you will get an email with an invoice showing an applied credit. You can also see the amount granted if you go back to the Camper Assistance Form online.
You can complete this form at any time.
- Camper assitance is NOT provided for those that opt for skiing/tubing. That would technically be a request for "free skiing" which does not make sense to us (but people argue for it every year). Either you need camper assistance (cannot afford camp - much less waterskiing) or you do not need camper assistance.
- Camper assistance is also NOT available for two-week campers (same reason). THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO 3RD PARTY SPONSORS. It only applies to the Camp Horizon Camper Assistance Fund.
- Camper assistance is NOT provided for transportation. The transportation fee covers less than the actual cost.
- Camper assistance cannot be combined with any other discounts or credits. If you are awarded camper assistance, all other discounts including those associated with a GHR code are removed.
