Thank you for your interest in the UU Kids Camp, sponsored by First Unitarian.  Please follow these instructions to be sure the camp staff has all of the information they need to assure a safe and rewarding camp experience for you campers. 


If at any time you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please email reasst@uuabq.org and we'll get right back to you.


Navigate to http://uukidscamp.blogspot.com/ and click the “how to register” tab.

 

1      Click on the On-Line registration button on the camp website and complete a registration form for each camper.  Note: the parent/guardian information at the end of the registration form need only be filled out for your first camper.  Complete camper information is required for all campers.

 

2      Print and carefully read the two page “Parental Consents and Release of Liability.”  Initial or sign each section where indicated.  Be sure to print your name and date in the appropriate places.  Both pages must be completed and returned.


3 Return both pages to, or bring with you to church on or before July 9th:

        Albuquerque, NM  87110


Checks should be made out to “First Unitarian Church”, with “UU Kids Camp Registration” in the memo line. If you’d prefer to pay with a credit card, email Alana at reasst@uuabq.org. Please do NOT use the PayPal link on the UUABQ website. Your registration will not be considered complete until the online registration form is complete, payment has been made, or a Financial Assistance form is complete.  Final registration payment must be made by July 9th. 


4      (Optional)  Generous members of First Unitarian have made limited scholarship funds available to families who are members of First Unitarian, and whose children are registered for the First Unitarian RE program.  Members who might otherwise not be able to send their children to camp should complete the Tuition Assistance Request form online before June 18th. If you would like to donate to the scholarship fund, you can do so by check or by credit card (to pay by credit card - contact Alana at reasst@uuabq.org )

 

5      Campers who will be attending High School participate in the Counselor In Training (CIT) program.  There is an additional CIT Registration Form that should be completed by the CITs who wish to participate in the CIT program.  Based on their interests, skills and personalities, CITs will lead in different ways. Some leaders enjoy being out front, directing traffic and motivating campers with boisterous games or songs. These CITs will lead activities, group singing, games and motivate the group. Some leaders might prefer to lead from within a community or provide opportunities for the spiritual leadership of campers. These CITs will plan and run the daily spiritual gathering of vespers and explore other ways to lead from within a spiritual community. Many types of leadership are valuable for intentional communities and everyone will collaborate together to lead camp groups. CITs can explore their preferences for different roles and ways to lead camp. This honors the diversity of interests and styles in our CITs.  CITs should read the questions on the CIT Registration carefully and fill them out thoughtfully.

 

6      Watch your email for notices and announcements about camp.  If there is any information missing from your registration you should receive an email about it. 

7      Remember, final registration payments are due by July 9th or your registration may be cancelled!  Tuition fee is $725. Do not forget to mail the check or pay by credit card. Email Alana Rodriguez at reasst@uuabq.org

8      If you don’t do it right now, remember to come back to the web site in early July and print and complete (as necessary):

 

A Camper Medication Form for each of your campers.  A completed form must accompany all medications you are sending to camp, and will be collected at check-in on July 23rd.

 

A set of Pickup Information and Release forms. (1)  It is vital that we have complete contact information for all parents and guardians so we can contact you.  (2) If someone other than the listed parent/guardian(s) on the registration form will be picking up your children each day we must have their names on a release form.  Camp staff cannot release campers to anyone not authorized to pick them up. .


We will collect completed forms at check-in.  If there is a change of transportation plans during camp week, amended forms may be emailed to reasst@uuabq.org (preferred), or dropped off at the church office.
