Advance event registration

Richard Silva's picture

On-line registration for Family Camp is probably not feasible given the complex rate structure.  But it does seem possible to do this for the Women's Retreat and the Men's Retreat.  We could just do a simple registration for the event so that we know who is coming, how many to house and feed, etc.  Or we might actually be able to calculate the fees and take payment on-line.  Wouldn't this simplify things somewhat for the organizers and hosts? 

Online registration, payment at camp

I agree that online registration with payment for Family Camp is very problematic because of the rate structure. But it does seem doable that we could have an online form to collect the information but not calculate the actual dollar amount (maybe an estimate with major caveats?). The registrar would receive this info and would have the option of emailing a dollar quote or just waiting until the registration can be settled up face-to-face at Family Camp. My impression from Dale is that just getting the information early would be quite helpful, and to my mind an online form could be rather more user-friendly that the paper form. For anyone who is going to be on the website in the first place, that is.

Registration for Family Camp

I completed the registration provided on this site for myself, Eve Watson, and 3 of my grandchildren: Serena, Dylan, and Remy.  I am not sure that it have been sent to you.  Please let me know.  If necessary, I will print a copy--I have saved it to my documents--and snail mail it to you with my check.  Please let me know what I should do as we want to attend the family camp.

Thank you, Eve Watson, evening_7up@yahoo.com

Sending in your registration form

After you download the registration form (in either .doc, .rtf, or .pdf format, whichever you prefer), if you fill it out and save it on your computer, you can then just attach it to an email and send it to our registrar at registration@campmyrtlewood.org.

If you need to print it out and fill it in by hand, you can snail mail it to the registrar at the address provided on the form. If you have a scanner, you could scan it (just the first page), and email the scanned file to the registrar. There is no need to pay in advance; we actually prefer that you pay by cash or check when you get to camp (sorry, we can't process credit or debit cards yet).

Camp Registration

On line registration is convenient for anyone with a computer.  I think we still need to be sensitive to the reality that not everyone in the world has a computer.  Snail mail will always need to be an option for those who don't have access to online registration.

Snail mail registration isn't going away!

We are certainly not contemplating going to online-only registration. This poll has primarily been an attempt to assess whether there was enough interest in online registration for me to justify putting the work in to set it up. At this point it's not looking likely that I'll get it together for this year, for which I apologize. Could still happen. It also may require some attention from Dale Seese, our Camp Registrar, to help me debug the process when I get it to that point, and his time availability is very limited. If I do set it up, it won't include online payment in any event (any time soon, anyway), in no small part because of the complexity and flex in our fee structure for Family Camp.
