A reservation fee of $50/ week per camper guarantees a spot for your camper(s) to register during our exclusive early registration period. (*This reservation fee is tax-deductible, non-transferable, non-refundable, and is not applied toward Camp MoCA 2023 tuition. Reservations will be accepted on a first-come first-served basis.)

By March 1, 2023: If you have not converted your reservation into registration, all reservations will be forfeited and offered to the public.
