Registration Steps

STEP ONE: Create an account. Make sure you create an account or test your login credentials to your existing account before registration to limit the amount of information you have to input. If you have attended a program in the past or supported FRNC in the past, you should already have an account linked to your email. If you do not know your login credentials, request a password reset. If you are new to the Nature Center's programs welcome, you can create a new account.

STEP TWO: Make sure you have an active membership. A family membership at the Environmentalist level ($125) or above is required to enroll in camp. Membership must be active for the entire duration of the program dates. Only one membership is required per family. If your current membership expires before your camp weeks, renew today and your new membership will kick in when your current one expires. Renew your membership in your account or by using this link.

STEP THREE: Register online.

At 10 a.m. refresh your page, enter the requested information, and select your child's age and weeks. The landing page will display "Event Registration is closed" until registration opens.

If you have more than one child, you can register them at the same time, just enter the number of children when prompted in the first question and it will bring up a form for each of them. You will submit your child's information and select the weeks you would like them to attend. You must use the dropdown menu to select your child's age group next to each week you would like to attend. Failure to select your child's age group from the drop down menu may result in getting shut out of your child’s appropriate age group/camp week. See photo below for reference. Parents registering for Paddle Adventure Camp (Grades 8-11) will find all PAC weeks listed at the bottom of the registration page.

Certain weeks of camp and age groups have high demand and sell out quickly. If you do not see your child's age group or it displays (No Vacancy) it means that group is full and you can add them to the waitlist for the week.

STEP FOUR: Payment.

Once you submit the online form, you will be redirected to PayPal to complete your payment. 

If you do not have a PayPal account you can still use the platform to pay with a debit or credit card without logging in by selecting the "Pay with Debit or Credit Card" option (see photo). 

Your payment will be incomplete if you navigate away from PayPal before submission. Full payment is due at registration.

AFTER REGISTRATION: Complete waivers and health forms.

FRNC will follow up for additional information. If your membership is not up to date or expires before your program date, you will be instructed how to renew.

CANCELLATION AND CHANGE POLICY: If you need to change the dates of your enrollment, accommodations will be made if space is available. There will be a $50 administration fee for any changes that are made. No refunds or credits will be given towards other programs, camps, or events if you cancel your enrollment. In the event you need to cancel, a tax receipt will be issued to you indicating that the program fee was converted to a charitable donation. Membership is non-refundable.
