How to Register:
Click here for a step-by-step guide for registration!
Every registrant will need a CMC membership. If you already have a CMC individual membership and wish to sign up a youth participant, you will need to create a separate guest account with a different email. You can also choose to upgrade your individual membership to a family membership to be able to register the youth participant on your account and receive the discount.
If you do not have a membership, you can choose to sign up for a free guest membership or pay for a family membership and receive a discount off of camps, events, and afterschool programs. To register, an adult parent/guardian needs to make an account for themselves with their own birthdate and email. Once the adult has a membership with CMC, they will add a youth to their account and complete a youth information form for the youth participating in the program. Once the youth form is completed, you can register the youth participant.
Forms and Paperwork - There are two health forms that need to be uploaded with the Youth Information Form. These forms are ONLY needed for the overnight Hut Trip. For any other winter day camp you can upload a blank "place holder" document. For our Brainard Hut Trip, these specific health forms must be submitted and approved before the camp. Please reach out to youth@cmc.org with any registration issues or questions.
