    There will be an option later in this form to request a specific person be roomed with you if they attend and put in their own registration.

  • Family Contact Information

  • Family Contact identifies a person who will be attending, if a person won't be attending sessions such as a parent or a guardian, and there are children attending who require that an equivalent person be identified to the registrar and youth leaders. This person would be contacted in the case of an emergency or other problems related to the youth in this regisitration. This person would also share responsibility for paying the final bill. If there is a guardian attending, this person info can be left mostly blank. 
  • Family Contact identifies an off campus guardian of youth in this request.
    The email address is also where your successful registration verification will be sent, so it is required. 
  • If a child or youth is attending without their parent(s) or legal guardian also attending, we expect you to have a conversation prior to Sessions with Children's Program Clerk Hannah Branson or Youth Services Committee Clerk David Hyde.   This conversation will be initiated by your registration. They will contact you.

  • Please let us know in the comments if you have concerns or anticipated needs that you would like us to address ahead of time or during the sessions

  • Payment Options

    You have a number of options for paying the bill.

    If you need time to pay,  talk to the Treasurer.

     FYI  - Cash, Check and Zelle cost the least for OVYM.

    Square options info, such as Credit Card, will not show below unless you choose "Pay using Square".

    Zelle HowTo info, will not show below unless you choose "Pay using Zelle".

    Square now offers quite a few options for payment. (Credit card, ApplePay, GooglePay, CashApp, and ACH). I would recommend only using a payment option if you are familiar with it, have used it before on this computer you are using now, or you will be prompted to download the required apps like GooglePay, CashApp, and Plaid (used by ACH). ApplePay will only work on Apple computers configured for ApplePay. Using options new to you may get confusing.

    Credit Card. Please be careful to enter your credit card info exactly as on your card, otherwise you will get an error.

     

    Click on one of the options below to let us know.
