A New, Easier Registration
This year each youth group only needs to submit one form for their Hammo registration. The completed Group Registration Form is the only form to submit to the Synod with your registration payment. All other forms provided are for optional use by individual youth groups and are provided for your convenience. We strongly encourage youth leaders to obtain the necessary parental permissions and medical emergency information, utilize the What to Pack checklist and read the Expectations of Youth Advisors document.
Bring the parental permission and medical emergency information for each youth to the Hammo event.
Registration Deadline
Registrations are accepted on a first come, first served basis. The park has a maximum attendance of 900 for the group camping area and therefore, we must limit our registrations accordingly. Registrations must be postmarked by July 15, 2011. Registrations postmarked after July 15 may be accepted if capacity allows, however, admittance is not guaranteed. Any group whose registration is received after July 15 may not receive T-shirts due to deadlines for getting the shirts printed.
Who can participate?
Hammonasset is intended for high school youth in grades 9 - 12. If your youth group includes 8th graders and you feel that they will benefit from attending the event, they are also welcome. Because of the limited amount of space in the group camping area, we ask that only 8th to 12th grade youth and their advisors attend.
Keep in mind that every person, regardless of age, is considered in the campground occupancy totals, and therefore must be fully registered. Registration includes completing all registration forms and paying the $45 per person fee.
Since the event is geared for high school students, we recommend one adult for every 5 youth. We recognize that some groups may need more adults for transportation purposes. In those cases, there should be no fewer than 3 youth per adult. The only exception should be very small groups who need to have two advisors (i.e., male and female).
Who needs to be registered?
Any person who attends the Hammonasset event and camps in the group camping area of the park must be registered. This includes all youth and advisors. It also includes any other persons who accompanies a group, such as younger siblings, family members, adult helpers, drivers, etc.
Participant Registration Form
In order to attend, each person (including adult advisors) must complete and submit a participant registration form. Parental/legal guardian permission and appropriate signatures are required.
Registration Confirmation
After your registration has been processed you will receive a confirmation e-mail. Because e-mail is the best way to receive a quick response, please double check the e-mail address provided with the registration information. The confirmation e-mail will summarize the number of youth and adults registered, and indicate what information (if any) is needed to complete your registration.
After you've received confirmation of your registration, please visit the "Getting Ready" section of this site for everything you need to know about the event itself. Unlike previous years, all getting ready information will be available solely through this site. It's important that you read through all the information provided, and print off anything that you would like to have at the event.
Registration Changes
In the event you need to change the list of people attending with your group, we need to know as soon as possible. Substitutions and cancellations should be no problem. Please note, however, that refunds will not be issued for cancellations. Additions will be allowed based on availability at the time the request is made.
