Once your application and payment have been received, Capital University will begin the process of verifying instrument availability in the camp.

As we near fulfillment of an instrument category, the number of applications may exceed the number of available spots. At that point, placement in the camp will be determined by the time stamp on your application form. If we are showing that there is no availability in your section, please complete the registration process and you will be added to a waitlist. 

If we are able to accept your child from the waitlist, you will be contacted by a staff member from Capital University via email with instructions on how to complete your payment.
