New Applicants

The deadline to apply for the 2023 Stanford Sierra Camp Summer Season was January 5, 2023. Applications are no longer being accepted.

Please note that applicants must apply each year to maintain their consecutive years of application credit and stay active on the waitlist for summer camp. Once you begin the application process, we will email you a repeat application each fall for the following summer.

Repeat Waitlist Applicants

Thank you for being so interested in our summer family camp program! If you applied for the summer 2022 season, you maintain your current waitlist status until applications reopen in November 2022 for summer 2023. 

In mid-November, repeat waitlist applicants will receive a “returning applicant” form and a letter from the reservations department with their consecutive years of application and flexibility credits. Applicants should return this form promptly, as a timely response will impact their status in the 2023 waitlist lottery. The deadline for repeat waitlist applicants to complete and submit their “returning applicant” form is Tuesday, January 3, 2023. If you did not receive a form or letter, please email us.

If you are unsure of your current waitlist status, please get in touch with the reservations office for clarification. We want to acknowledge and thank everyone that applied flexibly.
