session you are enrolling in?

anything.
Because our applications are sent out through a bulk mailing company, the time frame for our customers to receive the mailing varies. You may receive your mailing right away, while others you know don't receive their mailing for another week. We will make every attempt to process applications in a prompt manner. Please be patient. - My child is only six, can I still enroll him/her in All-Sports Camp?
