Mail Registration:

1. Please make sure you have checked our session availability table (click here), before proceeding with registration. If you are registering by mail and the session you request is full by the time your application is received, you will be called to decide on a second choice, or placed on a wait list.
2. Please print the linked Application and Medical forms, fill them out completely, and send them along with a check for $450 for the full day camp, or $325 for the half day camp to:
   
   Charles River Aquatics,
   PO Box 534
   Needham Heights, MA 02494
   
   Upon receipt of the application, medical forms (Part A and Part B) and payment, a confirmation email will be sent.
3. Both parts of the Medical Form must be completed. Part A is to be completed by the parent/guardian. Part B requires proof that the child has had a physical after August 8, 2006. The copy of the physical must include the following: proof of the child’s physical within the past two years that is clearly dated and signed by the physician and specifically grants approval for the child to participate in sports camps; a legible copy of immunization history including a recent TB test and Hepatitis B shot.
4. Incomplete medical forms will be returned and campers may forfeit their space in camp.
5. Make sure you are familiar with our Cancellation Policy and important additional information related to camp activities.

Note: Checks that are returned for insufficient funds will be subject to a $25 fee.

On-Line Registration:

1. Costs for on-line registration are $450 for the full day camp, or $325 for the half day camp.
2. You will need to provide emergency contact information, the name of your health care provider and your insurance carrier during the registration process.
3. While on-line registration is fast and easy, your child’s space is NOT guaranteed until we receive a copy of his/ her physical performed within the past two years. The copy of the physical should arrive at our office within two weeks from the day registered. Since space is limited, if the copy of the physical does not arrive within two weeks, the application will be considered "incomplete" and there is a chance that your child may lose his/her space.
4. The copy of the physical must include the following: proof of the child’s physical within the past two years that is clearly dated and signed by the physician and specifically grants approval for the child to participate in sports camps; a legible copy of immunization history including a recent TB test and Hepatitis B shot. You may use the linked Medical Form.
5. Make sure you are familiar with our Cancellation Policy and important additional information related to camp activities.
