Why a Lottery? Last summer, we instituted a lottery registration system for summer day camps. Overall, we received positive feedback about this system. However, we still had to turn away too many families from camp. Therefore, we’re looking for a 2nd camp location for 2012 so that we can accommodate more campers. Most likely, we’ll have our older campers (Bushcraft and EarthGirls Rock) take place on a nearby wilderness site.
In case you’re new to all this—the “weighted lottery” system is not completely random. Certain factors will affect your chances of enrollment . For example: previously waitlisted; year-round program participation; # of past summer camps, White Pine staff, volunteer, or donor; Kamana Naturalist Training student; ability to be flexible in scheduling—i.e. “I can do any of the four weeks offered” etc.). These variables help us in the selection process.
We understand that no system is perfect and that some folks will still be disappointed. We ask for your trust that the quality of our camps is the most important element in this re-design.
