General Questions |
| Q: | What ages do you allow at FCS Summer Camp? |
| A: | FCS Summer Camp offers camps for children ages 3 ½ through 8th grade. We also have a separate program for high schoolers, particularly FCS Alumni, called Counselor-in-Training (CIT).
We generally divide campers into “Little Explorers” for ages 3 ½ - 4, those entering grades K-2, those entering grades 3-5, and those entering grades 5-8.
CITs are assigned to a camp for the week that they are attending, participate in projects, play with younger campers, and help the camp teachers and assistant teachers as needed. They will be under the care of their camp teacher at all times like a regular camp. In the afternoons, CITs will meet with the Camp Director for job training-related skills such as researching, writing resumes, and attending interviews.

| Q: | What is Ultracamp? |
| A: | UltraCamp is a database system that is used by many camps across the country. It is designed to streamline the registration and record-keeping processes of other camp programs just like ours.
Each account is specific to a particular camp and is designed to be a household account. All paperwork is securely hosted inside the UltraCamp account.

Registration Questions |
| Q: | How do I log in or make an account? |
| A: | To the right of this page, please click on the “Ultracamp Registration” link. This will take you straight to our UltraCamp website.
To access registration and account management features, you must first create an account. If you already have an account from attending in previous years, you may access it by entering your username and password.
After registering/logging in, you will need to create a username and password, which allows parents/guardians to securely fill out forms, view sessions with open spaces, see account balances, make payments, add campers, authorize pickups, and more!
|
| Q: | What if I forgot my username/password? |
| A: | Click on the “Forgot your login information?” link and fill in your email address and security code. Your login information will be automatically sent to you.
If you still need assistance, please contact camp@friendscommunityschool.org
|
| Q: | How do I add my child and other family members? |
| A: | When you log into your account, check out My Account > Overview page to see your contact information, account members, and pickup authorization.
Click on the [+Add Person] button, and follow the steps!
|
| Q: | How can I add Authorized Pick-ups? |
| A: | Please see our Summer Camp Guide to Procare in our Document Center for more information on how to add Authorized Pick-ups for daily pickup.
The “Pickup Authorization” section is where you can designate account members over the age of 18 to also be able to pick up all of the underage campers in the event of an emergency.
For the safety of the camper, Friends Community School Summer Camp representatives may ask any of the individuals listed above to verify their identity by showing an official photo ID (driver’s license, ID card, current passport, etc.) prior to releasing the camper.
We will only release campers to the persons listed in this section or the Procare App Authorized Pick-up list, but if there are circumstances in which there is someone specific who should not be allowed to pick up your child under any circumstance, please contact the Camp Director.
|
| Q: | How do I sign up for a camp? |
| A: | If you want to browse everything that is being offered this summer, you can click on the Reservation menu link then [Explore Sessions].
If you want to see only reservations that are available for a specific camper, click on [New Reservation] on that same page, then the camper you wish to register.
Please note that non-refundable fees ($100 per camp, $25 for Ex-Day) are required at the time of reservation. The balance is due 2 weeks before the session’s start date alongside other camper and medical forms.
|
| Q: | What discounts are available? |
| A: | FCS Summer Camp offers discounts based on multi-week registrations. If an account has three or more sessions registered, the system will automatically apply $20 off per session. This number can be reached with multiple registrations for a single child or with multiple sibling registrations.
Multi-week (3+ camps): $20 off per session
|
| Q: | What else do I get when I register? |
| A: | In addition to an awesome and fun-filled camp experience, every camper gets an FCS Summer Camp T-shirt! They will also receive a tote bag to carry all of their camp gear home!
|
| Q: | The camp I want to register for is full! |
| A: | Ultracamp has a great built-in waiting list function. If you see a reservation that has filled up, you can still go through the same process of registering for it. Instead of a regular reservation with a deposit, you’ll add your camper’s name to the waiting list.
When there is space on the waiting list, you will be notified of the opportunity to finish the reservation.
