Why is it that I was placed on the waiting list while campers who registered after me are enrolled?

We reserve spaces for returning campers who register before February 28th. However, after that date, registration occurs on a first come first serve basis.

I applied for camp but didn't get notified until April whether I got in or not. I was unfairly held up and could not apply to other camps during this period of time.  Is there anything you can do about this?

Yes, we realize this problem, and we are moving the deadline for returning campers much earlier this year.

Why can't you simply accept everyone who applies for camp?

There are many factors that affect the size of the camp, such as room availability and the number of campers our license permits.

 Why can't I bring my health forms on the 1st day of camp?

Our medical staff has to go over every health form before camp begins, and we have a total of more than 250 campers (including CITs). That is why we require all health forms to received by the end of June.

What is your Tax ID, and how do I get it ?

 Is knowing chinese necessary at camp? If my child does not know chinese, will he/she fit in?

Knowing chinese is not necessary to attend NECYSC. The majority of classes are taught in english. The only exception is some of the teachers we have from Taiwan only speak Mandarin. However, there is always a CIT or Counselor to translate. Not everyone at camp can speak chinese; some speak cantonese, some speak mandarin, some only speak english.
