All registrations are processed on a first-come, first-served basis, and early registration is encouraged. Enrollment in each program is limited to 20 campers per weekly session. Each session is available as either a full-day program (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) or an early-day program (8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.).
You will receive confirmation of your child’s enrollment within two weeks of submitting the registration. A medical form, required by state law, will be included with your confirmation and must be completed and returned by May 1, 2026. Children may not attend Summer Place without a medical record on file.
Please note: Li’l Place campers must be toilet-trained before the start of camp.
