Application Process

THE 2012 CAMPER APPLICATION HAS NOT YET STARTED

The fee to attend ADA Camp Carefree in 2012 is $1200,

which includes the $50 non-refundable application fee.

The 2012 Brochures will be mailed 2011 Waiting List campers Wednesday, 2/1/12, and will be mailed to the rest of our list Wed, 2/8/12. The 2011 Waiting List Campers will be given first consideration during the first two weeks of the 2012 camper application period.

The ADA currently expects to launch their online application on Monday, 2/13/12. 2011 Waiting List campers who submit their applications by Monday, 2/27/12 will be given first priority for signing up for camp. All applications received after 2/27/12 will be treated on first come first served basis.

There are two ways to apply to camp: online or by mail.

ONLINE

BY MAIL

We recommend online application - simply click the button below. NOTE: Be sure to also download all the supplemental forms while you are online completing your camper's application. Many of these supplemental forms require signatures, so they must be downloaded, completed, and returned to Beth Rowe by mail. Click here for more information about the supplemental forms.

(link will be activated 2/13/12)

In order to improve the online application process, we would love to have your feedback. Please use the button below to share your opinion.

If you prefer to apply by mail, download the camp brochure, complete the reservation form and mail it with a $50 check payable to ADA Camp Carefree to:

Beth Rowe

PO Box 342

Newmarket, NH 03857

(this link is now active)

NOTE: If you decide to apply by mail, DO NOT apply online because you will be charged again for the $50 non-refundable fee. This is one of several reasons why we recommend online application.

If your camper is unsure about attending camp this year,

consider visiting camp while we are in session for a camp tour.

The 2012 Camp brochure will be sent out to 2011 Waiting List Campers along with the rest of our list. Once the camper application process starts, 2011 Waiting List Campers who submit their applications within the first two weeks will be given first priority before non-waiting list campers. After that, spots will be filled on a first come first served basis.

ONCE YOU HAVE RECEIVED YOUR BROCHURE, YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO APPLY TO CAMP: ONLINE AND BY MAIL.

	If you wish to apply online, which we highly recommend, simply click the "Apply Online" button above and do nothing more with the brochure. You will be asked to pay the $50 non-refundable fee as part of the online application process.
	If you wish to apply by mail, fill out the Reservation form from the brochure being sure to answer all questions! Send this completed form back to Beth Rowe at the address listed in the brochure. Be sure to include your $50 non-refundable application fee. You will not receive an application without it. Please do not then apply online as you will be asked again to pay the $50 non-refundable fee.
	PLEASE: Be aware that returning the Reservation form secures your camper a spot in camp as long as space is still available, and as long as you continue with the rest of the application process, as described below. Failure to send in the required paperwork listed below in Box 4 by April 30th forfeits your camper's spot and moves him/her to the waiting list. So, get your paperwork in early!
	What happens when camp is full? If you try to apply online when camp is full, you will see a notice that says camp is full. In this case, please submit the brochure Reservation form along with the $50 non-refundable fee to have your camper's name placed on the waiting list. When a brochure Reservation form is received after camp is full the applicant is automatically placed on the waiting list and sent a waiting list acknowledgment.

IF YOU ARE APPLYING BY MAIL: ONCE YOUR RESERVATION FORM IS RECEIVED YOU WILL BE SENT AN APPLICATION PACKET:

Please fill out and immediately return these three forms:
- the multi-page application form,
- the payment arrangement form,
- the application for financial aid (if applicable),
Once you have filled out these forms, immediately send them back to:

Beth Rowe

ADA Camp Carefree

PO Box 342

Newmarket, NH 03857

Receipt and review of the forms above will determine if a spot is guaranteed for your camper. Beth will send you a confirmation; most confirmations will be sent via email. However, failure to send in the required paperwork listed above by March 30th forfeits your camper's spot and moves him/her to the waiting list.
The remaining forms in the packet are also due (as indicated) by April 30th.
Around May 15th, Beth will be sending you a second packet, which will include some other forms. Please follow the instructions in the letter included with this packet to determine which forms to mail back by June 1st, and which forms to bring opening day of camp.
