There are only 100 days until Summer 2025 at Ghostlight begins, and we can't wait for an incredible summer with All camper first names!
See below for information on transporation to camp and camper information forms, as well as a leadership spotlight on Alexa Lyons! As the summer approaches, please continue letting us know what questions you have. We love hearing from you and All camper first names and are always available to chat. We'll also be announcing some more shows in the next few weeks to join Hadestown: Teen Edition, The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical, Into the Woods, and Macbeth in our summer seaon.

📋 Camper Information Forms
Forms are now available in your Family Dashboard. Forms include health history, transporation confirmations, cabin preferences, core class* selection, and camper t-shirt size. To access the forms:
- Log in here: https://ghostlight.
campmanagement.com/campers - If you don't remember your password from registration, click the "What's My Password" button to reset it.
- Click the "Forms" tab.
- Click your camper's name.
- All forms are due by May 10th.
* What is a core class? Campers take core and elective classes at Ghostlight; for core classes, campers can choose between acting, dance, voice, and dramatic writing. This class meets six times with the same group of campers and the same teacher. Campers staying the full summer will have a chance during first session to choose their core class for second session.
💊 Medication at Camp
Please be sure to view the information about CampMeds, the required* service we use at Ghostlight to deliver medication in the safest and most efficient way. Please note that there are enrollment deadlines for CampMeds with corresponding fees. We recommend beginning the registration process as soon as possible and completing by May 15. The CampMeds fee goes directly to CampMeds to cover packaging and shipping medications; if the CampMeds fee presents a barrier for your family, please reach out to us as soon as possible to discuss how we can assist. Perscriptions are not required at the time of registration but must be submitted 30 days prior to the start of camp.
*There are a small number of exceptions to this requirement; please review the linked PDF for details.
