Jump Into Summer with DPR

Updated on March 17, 2020: Summer camp registration has been delayed until further notice. Once a new date is confirmed we will provide at least one week’s notice prior to opening registration. Please continue checking our website and social media accounts for updates and announcements. For more information about Summer Camp options please visit our website: https://www.dprplaymore.org/366/Summer-Camps

Summer is right around the corner which means it is time to prepare to register for Durham Parks and Recreation summer camps! During the summer of 2020, we are offering several Youth and Teen summer camps, for ages 5-17. From swimming and games to field trips and arts and crafts, your child will be sure to have a ton of fun! We provide a safe, inclusive environment where all children are encouraged to participate. We are committed to the development of our campers' life skills through group activities and exposure to diverse athletic and educational experiences. For a full list of 2020 Summer Camp options, visit our ActiveNet site.

Save the Date!

Registration opens Monday, March 16, online and onsite. Camps begin on Monday, June 22 and end Friday, August 14. Camp hours are from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. (some exclusions apply). In order to reserve a space, please be prepared to make a $25 payment per week at the time of registration. If you are a City Resident, the fee per child for one week is $132 and for Non-City Residents the fee would be $157 per child for one week.

Reduced Fees

A sliding fee scale may be used to reduce the amount paid for summer camps. The scale ranges from 10-100% and is based on income, number of members per household, and special circumstances affecting the applicant’s ability to pay. Applications are available online, at the administrative office or any recreation center. If approved, the reduced fee is valid for one year.

Plan Ahead: If you are a new sliding fee scale registrant or your current application is expired or will expire soon, you must submit a new application by Friday, February 14, 2020 to ensure that it is processed and approved by the March 16, 2020 summer camp registration date.

Understanding ePACT

We've said goodbye to paper and hello to secure online forms! We're excited to continue our contract with ePACT, an online forms management company, that helps us securely collect all medical and emergency information electronically. After completing your registration with DPR, you will receive an email invite from DPR via ePACT Network to share information with us. Click 'Complete Request' to create a free account, or log-in if you already have an existing ePACT account. Make sure to enter the information for each child and share it with DPR so that program staff have access. 

Please Note: In addition to registering, you must submit all required information requested by ePACT in order to attend DPR summer camps.
