Registration Tips and Pointers:
– Before registration opens, please send any questions you have to summerandauxiliary@ums-wright.org . Some camps fill up quickly, so asking questions before registration opens is beneficial.
– If an offering is full, email summerandauxiliary@ums-wright.org your child's name and the name of the camp waitlist. We add names to the waitlists in the order they are received via email.
– You will receive a confirmation email after registering. If you do not receive one, that means your registration is not complete.
– New families: Since you have never created a CampBrain account, we highly recommend creating an account prior to registration, so you can see how the registration portal works. To create an account, visit https://ums-wright-afterschool.campbrainregistration.com/. UMS-Wright uses CampBrain for summer programs, extended care, after-school programs, Bulldog Athletic Association, Baby Bulldogs, Lads and Dads, and more, so we recommend bookmarking this website.
– Read over our CampBrain Overview for Beginners if you have questions on what each step of registration looks like.
