COVID-19 and Tawonga’s 2022 Season
In order to prioritize the health and safety of our campers, staff and entire Tawonga community, we have made some changes to our 2022 programs and Camp practices. New for 2022, all campers who will be eligible for the vaccine by the time their summer program begins are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, as are all Tawonga staff. You can read more about our health and safety protocols for the 2022 season here in our FAQs.

A Note on Waitlists
Tawonga does not advertise our program capacities and waitlists because they are fluid and constantly changing. If you register for a program and get on the waitlist, there is often movement on the list and a chance that you will get into the program. If you are added to the waitlist for a particular program, you are welcome to call to find out your placement. If a space does become available, we will contact you and will give you 24 hours to decide whether you’d still like the space. Being on a waitlist also makes you eligible for an earlier registration date in the future. If you have questions about enrollment in a particular program, please call our office to discuss.
Questions? We’re Here to Help!
If you have any questions, please call our office at 415.543.2267, email info@tawonga.org or ask a question online.
