How Our Waitlisting Works

Image

If you are wait-listed for a camp, you will receive an automatic email notification. This email will contain a link to accept or reject the enrollment via your WebTrac account.

• If you accept the enrollment, you will be prompted to complete the registration and payment process. You will not be able to enroll without completing this step. Failure to accept or reject the request within 72 hours of receipt of the first email will result in an automatic rejection and removal from the waitlist
   
• The waitlist process will close 14 days prior to the start of the camp, after which time registration is not guaranteed. Additional details on the automated waitlist process can be found here.
   
• To ensure that you receive waitlist emails, please be sure to verify your email address in RecTrac.

Thank you for the outpouring of support you and your families have shared with us. While we can't share every good comment here, we wanted to highlight a few:

Very happy with the camp, the people, everything!

Always so very happy to hear the stories they share when they get home. Love it!

The counselors have been attentive and professional. They have made camp fun for my children. 

Returning Camper - We LOVE Chinn!

The entire process was very well organized.

Love this camp.  Registration is competitive but just hoping each summer we can get into the camps because they are amazing!

Staff are fantastic. Go above and beyond for the campers. Great work! 

The Camp Wingapo crew is truly the best in all the camps I've sent my kids in both PWC and Fairfax. 

The accomodations/ modifications for activities exceed my expectations every time. We have been with Prince William Parks and Rec summer camps since my boys were little. We've done half day most years and this was first year I was able to use full day option camps and it was great

I've noticed how counselors are calling my daughter by name at drop off on her 2nd and 3rd day. 

We have been attending for 4 years!

Counselors are THE BEST!  My daughter loves every day of camp because of how amazing the counselors are and how much effort goes into each day to make it so great! 

Thank you for the inclusion process and special needs accommodations ahead of time. I really appreciate the effort your camps put into creating a welcoming environment for all participants

Repeat campers for years

THANK YOU for providing a great summer experience for my kids!

My child has loved the camp experience at Chinn for several years and each year repeatedly asks to return to this camp specifically because of the fun she has. She loves the staff, activities and other campers.  She is going to be sad to age out.

Both classes for the 3 year olds and for the 4-5 year olds were superb! The teachers were both excellent! As a retired special educator I really appreciate all their consistency and enthusiasm! I highly recommend your program to everyone. Bodhi and Remy were very excited ever day to go to camp! Thank you for everything!
