Camp Registration, Payment Options & Cancellation Info


Camp Registration
   Registrations are accepted for all camps online or In-Person (registrations are not accepted over the phone). In-Person registrations need to have created a household account on the Rec. website prior to coming in.   
   Registrations are accepted on a first come, first served basis. Some camps have limited enrollment, so early registration is encouraged.  
   Registration on the Rec. website can be paid online or offline:  (credit cards are not accepted at the office).  
   Online payment is with a credit card.
   Offline payment is  with check or cash, which has to be dropped off to the Department or use of the drop box at the back entrance to Town hall- 7900 Williston Rd.
  NOTE- If you choose the Offline Option- payment needs to be made immediately after you place the registration, as your child is not enrolled in camps until full payment or the deposit is received and processed, which means the camp could fill with another family who registers and pays online or who's payment comes in first.
  NOTE:
   Camp registrations must be paid in full at the time of registration after the second Friday of June for the remainder of the summer.
   No registrations are accepted after the 1st day of an Enrichment Camp or after the first day of a session for the Day Camps.
