It's easier than ever to get signed up for camp! New campers simply start the registration process. Once the form is submitted, a staff member from the American Academy of Dermatology will contact the family.
Not currently being seen by a dermatologist? Evaluation and referral by a dermatologist helps to make sure that Camp Discovery is the right fit for your child. Use the AAD's Find a Dermatologist tool to locate a dermatologist near you. However, you don't have to have a referral before starting the registration process.
Registration deadlines and processing
We encourage campers to submit their referrals by April 10, 2026. However, registrations will continue to be considered as long as camps have available space.
As part of submitting your initial information, parents or guardians will select their preferred location. Shortly after, you will receive an email from the camp team on the next steps. Following that, families will receive an email that includes details about travel, forms to be completed, and a reminder to return to the UltraCamp website to upload and submit:

“Our daughter Nina was born with a port wine stain on her face and has had countless laser treatments. She was offered the opportunity to attend Camp Discovery and it was a life changing experience.
As a first time sleep away camper, she was so nervous, but by the time Camp Discovery ended she didn't want to leave. Camp provided Nina with a safe space and allowed her to thrive. She found her voice and used it to meet so many beautiful souls from all over the world. This camp fostered something inside our daughter that made her feel so confident in her own skin, and we will always be grateful for this priceless gift.
