Registration Process

How do I get ready to register (if I do not have an existing CampInTouch account)?

1. Create your account by going to CampInTouch, selecting “Sign Up” and entering your family information. 
2. Add [email protected] to your contacts so our emails don’t go to spam.

How do I register?

1. Register using this CampInTouch link. We do not accept registrations by phone or email.
2. Fill out the CampInTouch forms. Please double-check your camper’s birth date and gender, since we use them to assign cabins. You can choose “Save for later,” but this does not hold your spot.
3. Pay the deposit. Your registration is official once we receive the deposit. You can pay by e-check or by credit card (cards add a 3% processing fee), and you can set up an installment plan. We no longer accept paper checks.
4. If you are a new family or a returning family adding a new payment method, confirm that the payment went through as some banks have flagged payments to “Campminder” or tell your bank to expect a payment to “Campminder.”
5. Watch for your confirmation email from [email protected] with next steps. If you don’t see it, check your spam folder.

For log-in guidance, this CampInTouch FAQ and video are great resources.  

Please also feel free to contact us about CampInTouch or about registration more broadly at [email protected].

Deposits, Payments, and Refunds

• Deposit: $500 per camper, per session, non-refundable after a two-week grace period. (There is no deposit required to be placed on the waitlist.)
• Two-week grace period: If you notify the Registrar within two weeks of receiving your registration confirmation that you need to cancel, your deposit will be refunded in full.
• After the grace period: Cancellations forfeit the full deposit and tuition paid by that point. This includes switching sessions or reducing the number of sessions.
• Full tuition is due by April 30, 2027. Families who register after that date must pay in full within two weeks of registering.
• Medical cancellations: If a serious illness or injury prevents your camper from taking part in camp activities, Camp Billings will refund tuition paid, minus the deposit, once we receive a written doctor’s note. Cancellations for other reasons after the two-week grace period are not refunded.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I ensure my camper secures a spot?

Bunks fill up quickly, so we encourage families to register as soon as possible.

Once a session has reached capacity, you will be unable to register for it. Instead, you will have the option to add your camper to the waitlist. If your child is placed on a waitlist, we will follow up with further instructions and suggestions. 

What if my child has aged out of being a camper?

If your child has aged out of being a camper (they are 16 or currently in 10th grade), we encourage them to apply to our Counselor-in-Training (CIT) Program. Please direct all questions about this program and general staffing to our Executive Director, Yutaka Tamura ([email protected]).

What are the session-specific activities?

In addition to all of our regular daily activities and evening programs, each session has its own special events. Visit our Activities page.

Session 1 is when we celebrate the 4th of July with a ton of red, white, and blue! We have a cookout and a range of fun 4th of July activities. Do you love dancing, singing, or lip-sync competitions? Session 1 hosts Battle of the Bands, where cabins compete with musical performances! 

Session 2 includes International Night, a festive evening for which campers love to dress up! We also have a talent-show-style competition for the campers to show off their skills!

Session 3 is when we put on the Musical! What will it be this summer?! We also have an optional 10K Race Around the Lake, so pack your running sneakers!

Session 4 includes Country Fair, our multi-day competition. We suggest bringing a t-shirt of every color and good athletic sneakers. Session 4 also hosts Halloween and our Final Campfire, where campers can perform skits and songs on the last evening of the summer.

Are you able to accommodate campers with specific needs?

Camp Billings and its staff are not trained or equipped to support children with extensive physical, emotional, or educational needs. To provide the best possible experience for your child and for all members of our camp family, please contact our Executive Director, Yutaka Tamura ([email protected]), to discuss any special considerations with our team before registering.
