2020 Summer Camps

Thank you for your interest in our summer camps!

The great news is that we are allowed to offer camps this summer but, due to COVID-19, some have been canceled. Full refunds are being processed for any camps that we have canceled. For those that are still moving forward, some have changed location or time and most have reduced capacity. Please read this letter from our PARC Director for more information, including some of the steps we are taking to keep your children and our staff safe. This letter also contains information regarding our adjusted refund policy.
