Minors who will have an unrelated guardian must go through the lottery with that guardian, and they should indicate the name of the guardian on the application form. Forms for Parents and Guardians of Minors only are available here.

If you are applying for financial aid, you must submit both an application to camp and a financial aid application – acceptance to camp is not dependent on financial status.
