To ensure you receive these emails, please review and update your current contact information on file with the GAA. Details on how to do this.

End of April, 2023 – Registration opens to all interested families.

The registration link will be posted at the top of this page once it opens. If demand exceeds space available at camp at this stage, families will be placed on the 2023 waitlist. All families on the waitlist will receive an update before May 15 and be notified if families cancel their attendance with ample time to process new registrations.

All families are encouraged to consider the “non-lodging/day camp” registration option.

The opportunity to register for Camp Blue Heaven with the “non-lodging/day camp” option is open to all. “Day campers” participate in all meals and activities just as the on-site campers; the only difference is that “day campers” have made their own sleeping accommodations elsewhere. The closest lodging option is the High Meadows Inn, located just a few miles from Camp Cheerio.

To register using the “day camp” option, please select this option while completing the online registration form.
