Camp Ozark offers installment payment plans only through My Ozark until December 31, 2022. Installment payment plans are an easy way to budget and pay camp tuition. Enrolling in an installment plan online offers convenience and flexibility. All registered campers must be paid in full at the date of the last installment as a condition of final enrollment. Deposits are fully refundable (less a $100 reservation fee) up and until January 5, 2023. Cancellations must be made by April 1, 2023 in order to receive a refund (less registration fee).
Families may register their campers, pay the required deposits, and complete the required application online by clicking on the “Register” graphic found throughout this website.
When registering their campers, families will create an online “My Ozark” account, which will allow families to manage their camper information, make payments, save store items and summer photos for future purchase, and much more.
All campers are required to purchase low-cost, no-fault, major medical insurance. The fee for this coverage is minimal, but purchase is a requirement for enrollment at Camp Ozark.
Camp Ozark is pleased to present camp families with optional travel insurance through a 3rd party provider. Plan and purchase details can be found by logging into your My Ozark account once registered.

Boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 17 are eligible for enrollment. All applications are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. Waiting lists are common for all sessions. Acceptance requires a fully completed application and accompanied by the deposit and reservation fee ($300 for one week sessions and $400 for two week sessions).
Upon acceptance of a camper’s application, he or she is placed in the proper grouping and cabin according to age, development, school grade and session. Every effort is made to place campers according to their cabin preference, but final placement is at the sole discretion of the Cabin Placement Coordinator. Campers may request to be placed in the same cabin with up to two other campers. All such requests must be submitted in writing via the My Ozark dashboard and must be made by both campers two weeks prior to the start of the campers’ session.
Requested cabin mates must be no more than 12 months apart in age. No more than four campers from the same school or social group will be placed in the same cabin. Cross-session requests (when one-week and two-week campers request each other) are not accommodated.
Also, please understand that clear communication with a requested cabin mate is very important. We recommend that all parents involved openly communicate with one another so that all campers may have the best possible start to their Incomparable Camp Ozark experience. To best serve our camp families, the Cabin Placement Coordinator may disclose cabin placement information in order to answer cabin placement questions.
One of our core values at Camp Ozark is Friendship-learning how to be a friend, make a friend and keep a friend. Making new friends is a rich component of the cabin experience and many of our campers choose to not make requests for this reason. We encourage campers to attend without concern for cabin requests, but we will make every effort to accommodate cabin requests in compliance with our cabin placement policies.
Upon acceptance of a camper’s application, he or she is assigned to one of two teams, the mighty Red Team or the powerful Blue Team. Team assignments are completely random unless the camper has a parent or sibling who is already a member of either team. A camper is automatically assigned to the team of the parent or sibling.
NO TEAM REQUESTS ARE PERMITTED OR CONSIDERED WHEN ASSIGNING TEAMS.
Once a camper is assigned to a team, he or she is a member of that team for life. Several factors are considered when assigning teams in order to make War Parties (age specific teams) as balanced as possible.
Waitlists are common for many camp sessions. Getting into a session from a waitlist is dependent on session switches and cancellations which change from year to year. Waitlisted families would be contacted immediately if a spot for their camper becomes available. If your camper ends up not getting into the session, or you decide to make alternate plans, and you are not enrolled in an alternate session, then you would receive your deposit back less a $50 reservation fee. See below for more detailed questions and answers about the waitlist.
