We do our best to remain flexible for our families to ensure your child has a safe and enriching summer. Despite our efforts to make accommodations, there are instances in which a site must be capped at a certain capacity due to limited spacing or staff availability. To secure a space for your child at the location of your choice, we highly urge families to register as soon as possible. Although registrations are still accepted after May 15, 2025, we cannot guarantee that we are able to accept all registrations postmarked or received after this date. If you are waiting on the site calendar to make your weekly selections, then we strongly recommend that you at least register for the week(s) in which program is needed to secure your spot.
**Once a location reaches its maximum capacity for a designated week, a waitlist option will be available through the online registration system. If space becomes available, then campers will be offered the opening in the order that they are waitlisted.

- Program policies for quarantining and isolation, as a result of testing positive for COVID-19, will follow the current DOE, CDC, and HIDOH guidelines.
- Frequent handwashing with soap and water, and for at least 20 seconds at a time.
- Student to staff ratio is 15:1. The group size will be kept to a maximum of 15 students to maintain consistent and proper distancing between groups.
- Summer Day Camp program is designated for children who have completed grades K-6.
