REGISTRATION PROCESS: 

Registration for Houston Chinese Youth Camp is a three–step process.  ALL THREE steps must be completed before your child’s registration is considered complete.

STEP ONE: Read the Information Packet and Complete the THREE forms.

The following forms are attached to the end of this packet and are also available on our
website:

• Houston Chinese Youth Camp – Release, Waiver and Indemnification Agreement (pdf)
• Houston Chinese Youth Camp – Medical Authorization Form (pdf)
• Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi – Agreement for Waiver, Indemnification, Assumption of Risk and Medical Treatment Authorization (pdf)

Please Note: Two of the forms are required by Houston Chinese Youth Camp, and one is required by Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi. We recommend that you download and fill out these forms in advance as STEP TWO requires you to attach the completed and signed forms to finalize your registration.

STEP TWO: Complete the Online Registration.

The online registration will open on Saturday, April 15, 2023 at 10AM CST.

Each child will need to individually register. This includes the online registration, the three forms mentioned in STEP ONE, and payment. The online registration will take approximately 20 minutes to complete and will require the following information:

• Camper Information: Name, Date of Birth, Phone, Email, Grade (Fall 2023), Language Proficiency
• Camper Medical Information: Allergies, Medical Conditions, Prescriptions, Insurance
• Parent / Guardian Information: Name, Phone, Email, Language Proficiency
• Emergency Contact Information: Name and Phone. Contact must be different from Parent/Guardian.

Please Note: Each form must be completed in full and signed when attaching to your online registration. It is VITAL that the information provided is accurate as groups are based on these factors. Any inaccurate information leading to the rework of groups or dorm assignments will incur a $100 fee. Completed registrations are non-transferable.

STEP THREE: Complete PayPal Payment.

Once the online registration form is submitted, you will be redirected to the payment page. Please do not close out of your browser or window! On the PayPal payment screen, you can sign into your PayPal account or if you do not have a PayPal account you may select “Pay with Debit or Credit Card”. The total fee will be displayed in the top right corner.

Registration Acceptance

If you have completed all three steps in the registration process, you will receive a confirmation email within 10 business days from our Registrar. Completed applications which include the registration, signed forms, and paid fees are non-transferable. If you have any questions that cannot be answered by this packet or our website or if you do not receive your confirmation within 10 business days, please email [email protected]. Thank you for your understanding and patience while we work hard to create the best possible experience for your child.

Waitlist Information

To ensure safety and the optimal camper experience, Registration will close once we hit maximum capacity. At that time, the waitlist will be made available on our website.

We encourage all campers to sign up for the waitlist. The waitlist is available on a first come, first serve basis. As spots become available, campers at the top of the waitlist will be given further instructions via email on how to submit their forms and complete payment. You will have 7 calendar days to complete both steps before you forfeit the opportunity to register. Waitlist spots are non-transferable.

Refunds

Please refer to the table under Registration Fees for further details. Eligibility for any refund of fees is based on the date in which CYC is notified. Please email BOTH [email protected] AND [email protected] to request a refund.
