DigiDraw Pilot - Summer Camp information

All Summer Camps (except for post camp and lunch bunch camps) are part of the Summer Camp 2025 DigiDraw.

We understand that with Summer Camps, being able to list out alternatives to a camp that may be full, is a necessity for those scheduling summer activities. For Summer Camps, we are pivoting the DigiDraw pilot to be a form based submission, and our team will process the information on the back end.

You will have from January 13 through February 16 to submit your digital form.

Waiting Lists

If the program you are interested in full, you may place your child's name on the waiting list. In the event waiting lists grows and if resources permit, another camp may be added to accommodate participants off the waiting list. If someone withdraws and a spot in the camp opens, we’ll contact the first participant on the waiting list. If offered a spot, you will be given a deadline to register and complete payment. If the deadline has passed and payment was not completed, your spot will be given to the next person on the waiting list.

Drop Off / Pickup

Parents, guardians, or care givers may drop off or pick up their child. There will be designated spots for drop off and pick up of participants for each camp. Please check your welcome letters for more information.
