Camps
Overview

To be eligible for camp registration, you must be a current member of AuSM.   Due to the high interest in these camps, campers for Camp Discovery and Hand in Hand are chosen through a lottery system.  Registration gets campers into the lottery, but does NOT reserve them a spot in camp.  Please note that there are new registration and cancellation policies.  Camp brochures were mailed to current AuSM members on Friday, January 25, 2008.  If you did not receive your brochure in the mail, you may download it here.  AuSM reserves the right to place campers in the program best matched to meet their needs.
