If you are registering two or more children per week, there is a $10 discount per child, for the full day program.

FAQs:
What if my child doesn't want to go for a full day?

What happens if it rains?
Camp is held rain or shine at Granbrook Park and campers should always come prepared with rain gear. In the event of thunder storms or other severe weather, campers are moved to a safe in-town indoor location and caregivers are notified via text.
What does my child need to bring?
Campers should come prepared for a rustic outdoor day camp adventure. This means, they'll need sunscreen and bug spray applied before they arrive, and have a change of clothes, a hat, sweatshirt, rain coat, towel, and lots of water in their backpack. Closed toe shoes are required, please no Crocs, flip flops, or sandals. You will be notified in advance if a bathing suit is needed on a particular day.
How late can I register my child?
We love to see as many smiling faces each week as possible, but late sign ups make it difficult for our staff to plan activities, to make sure we have enough supplies for craft projects and special events, and to also adequately plan for tickets and transportation for field trips. Registration closes for the upcoming week on Thursday at noon, or when the week fills. To avoid disappointment and frustration, please remember to register early!
