IT'S ALMOST TIME!!!!!!

Hello! Hope all is well with all of you!! Just a note to let you know registration will open on the website on February 15. The dates for this summer will start the week of June 29 and the last week will be the week of August 3. We are getting very excited!

-We are expecting a lot of interest this summer so please note a couple items so we are all on the same page. Thank you all!

-It takes a while to record all the registrations and we will try to get back with you asap to let you know we received yours.

-When the registrations come through, it is in chronological order so we will record all the information as soon as possible. If a week happens to fill up before we can get all the information recorded we will rely on the date/time of registration.

A NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT OF $150 IS DUE AT REGISTRATION IN ORDER TO HOLD YOUR CHILDREN’S PLACE AT CAMP. If we do not receive a deposit, that spot/spots will open up again and may not be available.
Due to the number of people wanting to attend camp, we will be diligent in keeping to the deposit being due at registration in order to hold a spot!

PAYMENT IN FULL IS DUE BY MAY 17TH
If payment is not received by May 17th, the spot/spots will be opened up and we can not ensure there will be space. You are welcome to pay in full at registration if you prefer. We definitely want to make sure if you sign up that your spot is there for your child/children
The cost of camp is $375 per week.

We are working on other forms of payment while not adding on cost and will keep all posted if that works out. As of now it is still check, cash, or money order.

As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to send me an email or give me a call. Take care!

Just a note that we will again be doing an online store with “Threads Custom Design” in which you can do your shopping, payment and shipping of Shady Trails apparel all in one place. The online store will be open for a certain amount of time and when it closes “Threads” will create and send you your items to you. It takes about 2-3 weeks after the store closes to receive the items. This spring we will have the store open 4 different times:

1st date Open March 2 and closes March 20
2nd date Open April 13 and closes May 1
3rd date Open May 18 and closes June 5
4th date Open June 15 and closes June 24

Greetings from snow covered Shady Trails Camp! We sincerely hope this email finds you and your family happy and healthy! In the spirit of "Giving Tuesday" we have come up with a fun way to involve all who have been touched by Shady Trails in helping to preserve this magical, ancient infrastructure which is over 80 years old. We are devoted to keeping the core of Shady Trails the same and with that comes a financial commitment so things do not change. The kids are the essence of Shady Trails so we wanted to offer a fun way to involve them in “giving” to the camp. Grab a bucket, box, or a jar and throw those extra coins in and watch them accumulate. If you are local, you can drop off the coins at camp the last Friday of every month (Jan. 30, Feb. 27, March 27, April 24, May 29, June 26 ) between 3:30 and 5:30. There will be containers for each cabin set up to begin the race of which Cabin can gather the most coins from now until the end of camp in August. If you are not local, watch them increase and bring them to camp when the campers come. During camp this summer, we will have fun activities planned around this competition.
Shady Trails belongs to all lucky enough to be touched by the magic past, present and future and we are beyond thankful for all of you and for your help in keeping Shady Trails what it is, and what it means to all of us! Best wishes for health and happiness-can’t wait till July!!!!
