Double Check Your Calendar


Our camp is FULL! Make sure you are registered for the weeks you need, and cancel any weeks you have vacation/family plans. Sorry we can't accommodate "drop-ins." Any cancellations or enrollment changes made after June 1 will incur a $25 administrative fee.


Cancellation Policy

If you are registered for a week of camp that you need to cancel, you must let us know at least ten full business days in advance. For example: If your child is registered for the week of July 26, you must notify us by 8:00am on Monday, July 12 in order to receive a refund. If you do not give us two weeks’ notice we will NOT be able to offer a refund, as we have to schedule our staff and activities and pay for field trips in advance based on enrollment. All cancellations must be made through the Youth, Parks & Recreation office (831-1001). Any cancellations or enrollment changes made after June 1 will incur a $25 administrative fee.

Immunization & Physical Records - Including COVID-19 Vaccinations


Please turn these into us ASAP if you have not already done so, along with the Online Camper Pre-Registration Form


If your child has received a COVID-19 vaccination, we also need a record of this. You can send us a copy or photo of their vaccination card.
