Parent questions
Summer Camps FAQ
When should I sign up for summer camp?
Popular camps open registration between January and March and often fill quickly. Sign up early for the most choice, and ask about waitlists if a week is already full.
Are there summer camps for the whole family?
Yes. Some camps run family weeks or parent and child programs, and many outdoor centers offer family camping weekends alongside kids-only day camps.
What is the difference between day camp and overnight camp?
Day camps run during working hours and kids sleep at home. Overnight (sleepaway) camps last a week or more, usually suit kids about 8 and up, and cost more.
