Applications for the TILT program should begin with a camper registration form submitted to the camp office and should be accompanied by a 1 page statement on why you would like to participate along with your full contact information and any previous camper experiences and where. Applications will be evaluated in part on clarity of communication and thoroughness. Join the team!
