This year, all registrations for SPNC will be completed online through the NRT's online store. For more information on sessions dates, cost, and more, please continue reading below!

General SPNC registration and payment information:
Information for the 2021 camp season will be issued below when it is available.

 2020 registrations:
As of June 15th, all virtual SPNC camp registrations will be completed online and can be accessed by clicking here. Campers who were previously enrolled in SPNC's on-site programs will not be automatically enrolled in virtual programs. If you had made previous payments for on-site SPNC in 2020, you should have received a letter in the mail with your choices for allocating your funds. Please complete and return this form no later than June 26, 2020 using the enclosed envelope. If you did not receive a letter or have questions, please contact NRT at info@nrtofeaston.org and a staff member will assist you. 
We appreciate the patience and understanding of our camp families as we work through the changes that have become necessary in 2020. 



Registration must be done in person at the NRT office or by mail, with accompanying forms and payment/deposit. A mail slot is available for registration/payment drop-off before or after office hours. Please enclose any forms or payments in an envelope if using the mail slot. Payment in full is required after June 1. A limited number of scholarships for one session of camp may be available for the season. Scholarships are designated for families with a significant demonstrable need, and children can be from any local community. For more information and an application, please see below for details. School officials or other care providers who would like to refer a candidate are encouraged to share the application form with families. Parents/ guardians must complete applications; third party applications are not accepted.
Please make checks payable to  "NRT".  With registrations over $1,000 payment is required by cash, check, or money order. Please contact the NRT office with any questions.
NRT memberships must be family level ($50) or higher and valid at the time of registration through September of the session year. 
A $15 fee will be applied to all returned checks. Deposits cannot be transferred to other campers or sessions, and daily rates/partial sessions are not available. Deposits are non-refundable; all other camp payments are non-refundable unless the space can be filled by NRT staff. Children who enter camp and are removed for behavioral concerns or other safety reasons will not qualify for refund of camp payments.

Scholarship Information

Scholarships are not currently available for the 2020 Virtual SPNC Sessions
Due to the generous support of local groups and individuals, including the NRT, the First Parish Unitarian Universalist's Green Sanctuary Committee, Easton Charitable Trust's Festival of Trees, Easton Garden Club, and others, a number of camp scholarships will likely be available for the 2021 season. Scholarships are largely need-based and are available to families in Easton and from towns throughout the local area. Scholarships are generally awarded for one 1-week session of programming, and priority is given to participants who have not previously received assistance. If you are an educator, counselor, therapist, clergy member, or similar individual who believes their client  would benefit from receiving a camp scholarship, please forward the form below to the child's parent/ guardian for submission; if there are exceptional circumstances which may prevent a parent/guardian from applying, please contact the NRT's Education Department to speak directly to an NRT camp director for more information. 


 The 2020 scholarship application period is currently suspended. Applications are not accepted prior to dates provided; applications submitted after June 15th  will be reviewed at the discretion of the NRT, pending availability of funds. Recipients will be notified  by mid-June, or as possible.  The downloadable scholarship application is available below, and contains information on the submission process, as well as information about scholarship awards.

Applications will continue to be accepted as funding allows; submission of an application does not guarantee award of funds. Camp spaces cannot be held before scholarships may be awarded, and space in any specific session(s) is not guaranteed to recipients. 


The NRT of Easton reserves the right to change or discontinue the camp scholarship program at any time, without notice.
