Rain City Rock Camp Universal Application

We have been working hard to improve our application process!

This new universal application will cut down on time for return campers, volunteers and parents. Our hope is, after your first time filling this out, you will be able to simply add your name then skip to the program specific questions. This application will also allow you to sign up to be notified when applications open for future programs.

WE APPRECIATE YOUR FEEDBACK AND PATIENCE as we work to improve this process and make your user experience more streamlined.

If you would like to participate in a Rain City Rock Camp program as a Camper or Volunteer you are in the right place :)
