Pre-registration for international groups is open at https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/pTW4Gs4xvN , and the official registration will open in November! The earlier you register, the lower the fee will be. For such a large camp we need to estimate the amount of food, equipment and supplies required. Your early registration will help us with that!
