The remaining balance will be divided up into equal payments to be charged on the first of each month, between the date of registration and May 1st. The final payment is due May 1, 2023. All payments are made via auto pay and an active credit card must be on file. 

Starting May 1, 2023: Payment is due in full at the time of registration.

After 24 hours, the spot will be forfeited and will be given to the next person on the waitlist.

CampInTouch is a secure network that we use to collect personal, medical, and emergency contact information electronically for Camp Backcountry and the Backcountry Wild Roots Nature Preschool. Not only does CampInTouch streamline the paperwork process, but it also ensures we have a way to communicate with you in the event of an illness, injury, or larger scale emergency. 

How it works

• You’ll receive a link in your registration email from HRCA that will direct you to the Application Form on CampInTouch
• Enter your information to create a free account, or log in if you already have an existing account (note: CampInTouch accounts are separate from your HRCA account)
• Select the session(s) that you registered your child for and submit the application. 
• You will then be directed to your home page and will access the rest of the paperwork there. You can either continue in the CampInTouch browser or download and use the sister app called Campanion to finish the paperwork and upload forms. Campanion uses the same login information as CampInTouch. 
• Enter the required information, like medical conditions, and any additional paperwork and press submit. 
• CampInTouch will show you what forms need to be completed or if any are missing.

Contact [email protected] if you have any trouble or questions about completing your child’s paperwork on CampInTouch.

Before your child’s camp session, please be sure to download the Campanion app onto your phone from the App Store or Google Play. This will allow you to stay connected to your child’s experience at Camp Backcountry with daily photos, notes from Camp Backcountry staff, and notifications for delayed starts, early closures, or emergencies.
