Changes to Summer Camp Registration
We are excited to be partnering with CampMinder as our new camp management system. Working with CampMinder will help us streamline the registration process for our camper families and staff. In 2017, CWR & CWS will offer online summer camp registration and will accept online payments. Families will be able to create their own accounts and manage camper sessions and retreats, profiles, and submitted forms. Registration forms will open online at 10 a.m. on January 30th at campwillowrun.org and campwillowsprings.org. System setup is underway, please visit check back for additional updates and information.

Help as a Summer Camp Nurse
Camp Willow Run has a need for a camp nurse (RN) during several sessions this summer. CWR offers a camper registration fee credit in return for one week of service as a camp nurse/healthcare person.
