Prior Weather Camp attendees are not considered repeats for Advanced Weather Camp and may apply at any time.

Registration deadline: Friday, May 16

Step 1 - Review Standards of Conduct with Your Camper

Before you begin registration, please review these Standards of Conduct and Frequently Asked Questions.

Important Information for Parents/Guardians

Please review the Youth Programs Ethics and Compliance web page before camp starts. Penn State employees are not permitted to transport or arrange transportation for a minor attending a youth program.

Food allergies must be disclosed to the camp planner in advance at psuconferences@psu.edu or 814-863-5100. Learn more at Penn State Campus Dining or by calling 814-867-5277 or emailing foodallergies@psu.edu.

Penn State encourages persons with disabilities to participate in its programs and activities.

Penn State is committed to equal access to programs, facilities, admission, and employment for all persons. It is the policy of the University to maintain an environment free of harassment and free of discrimination against any person because of their actual or perceived age, race, color, ancestry, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, physical or mental disability, religion, creed, service in the uniformed services (as defined in state and federal law), veteran status, marital or family status, pregnancy, pregnancy related conditions, genetic information or political ideas. Discriminatory conduct and harassment violate the dignity of individuals, impedes the realization of the University’s educational mission, and will not be tolerated. This access is extended to all university sponsored youth programs, including 4-H.

The needs of any participant in a youth program will be discussed privately with that child’s parent/legal guardian on a case by case basis with the goal of promoting a safe environment and quality experience. If you have any questions, please contact the program manager psuconferences@psu.edu.

Refunds

If your request to withdraw is received at least 15 business days prior to the first day of the program, we can issue a partial refund. Send your written request by email to psuconferences@psu.edu. A $50 administrative fee will be charged for each withdrawal.
