1. Board of Directors and Staff's children, February 16, 7pm
2. Returning Groups, pre-registered with one Group Leader, requires password to register. New families may buy in with a scholarship donation (this raised over $1000 last year!) February 17, 7pm

The 2026 Registration dates and times are aligned so multi-day River Lottery permits have been awarded and populated. 
 ​
We have upgraded our registration forms for faster completion; some data repopulates, and you can leave form fields blank in order to get to the payment portion quicker. After securing the spots with payment, you can return to the form to completely fill in your child's health data, birth date, etc.  Registration links will be date-specific, sent out ahead of time, so carefully choose. If you accidentally select the wrong date, I can't guarantee you will get your preferred date, as it may have filled by the time we are able to remedy it. 

You can register on a phone, tablet or computer this year.

Full payment is required at the time of registration; reach out to inquire about payment plans. Payment is accepted via paypal or credit card.

Thanks to generous donors, 15 scholarships will be awarded in 2026. Full and partial scholarships will be awarded for Osprey, Duck and Otter programs, and are basd on application sincerity and financial need.  Tuition monies often qualify as daycare expenses, check with your tax consultant. Scholarship applications will open in January 2026.
