When a spot opens, we'll email you an offer. Sign in to your iCamp account to accept it. You have 24 hours from the time the email is sent, and the spot is secured once a qualifying deposit is paid. We aren't able to hold spots longer in hopes that more open up for a family or group.

Sign in to your iCamp account. Your camper's waitlist position is shown on the home page.

Cabins are assigned "family-style", which allows siblings of different ages the opportunity to stay together. This also allows every camper the chance to walk in leadership in their own cabin with the oversight of Red T-Shirts.

It's how we place groups in the same cabin. Friend Groups affect cabin assignments only, not activities, and can be formed in icamp account.

Only one parent needs to create it. Sign in to your iCamp account, open the Friend Groups tab, choose Start New Friend Group, and enter each friend's name and the email associated with that account. Then make sure the other parents accept the invite. A group holds up to six campers: the creator plus five invites. Only the creator can send invites. 

Open the email and click the link to accept the invite. Brookhill Ranch only communicates about friend groups with the group owner.
