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 - for the Youth Information form to be complete a document needs to be uploaded for the Health form and the Immunizations form. However, our afterschool programs DO NOT need these forms to participate (only our licensed summer/winter camps). If you have those documents on hand, you are welcome to upload them or you can upload a blank placeholder document so you can complete the registration.
Please reach out to youth@cmc.org with any registration issues.
