Registration

The registration process

We accept applications year-round. Most choose to do the online application, but you may also print the paper application and send it by mail. There is a fully refundable $600 deposit required at the time of the application.

Once campers come to Greystone, they almost always return! For this reason it is not unusual for new campers to start their Greystone career on a wait list, but this doesn’t last very long and we try to make it easy. Our advice is to apply AS EARLY AS YOU CAN... the summer before you want to attend is a pretty good way to assure that a spot will be available.

Early birds

At the end of each session our current campers enroll for the next summer; these are our “early bird” campers, and they tend to fill most of the available spaces. Over the Fall and Winter months many of these early bird campers reluctantly give up their place due to family plans. These places are then filled off the wait list as space allows (we do this by grade groups).

The wait list

Applications are processed in the order they are received. If there is a wait list for your daughter’s grade her position will be based on the application received date. If at any point you choose to withdraw from the wait list, you may call, e-mail or write the request. Please note that in withdrawing from the wait list you lose your spot; therefore, if you are considering Greystone for a future year, you will want to stay on the wait list.

Don’t wait, apply now

It is in your best interest to apply early, especially if there is a wait list. We always have turnover in all of our sessions so you want to get your daughter’s name on the wait list in case a spot does open. If a spot does not open for the upcoming summer, your daughter will automatically roll over to the following summer, making her one of the first considered for an open spot the next year. Your deposit is fully refundable so you have nothing to lose! It is best to go ahead and apply!

Enroll while you wait

Remember that you can secure a spot for this summer by enrolling in an open session now while keeping your name on the wait list! When there is a cancellation in your child’s grade, we will take the first name on the wait list for that grade. The office will call asking if you still want the open space. There is no obligation and your deposit is fully refundable.

Just in case

We always recommend that you consider a backup session for the summer in the event a spot does not open in your desired session. Please keep in mind that you can only attend one session per summer. If a space does not become available, you will automatically be rolled over to the wait list for the next summer unless we hear otherwise from you.
