Summer Camp 2025 Public Wait List Registration Update

We have expanded space for some weeks are are taking Wait List registrations for those spaces. We do suggest going on the Wait List and will update you on your status as soon as we are able.

For current Camp Waterdown Before and After School Families Only: your child’s registration link will SHOW IN YOUR FAMILY REGISTRATION PAGE Child Record tab only.

Wait List registration began Tuesday March 11th

We recently upgraded our web server to handle a higher than usual number of registrants, HOWEVER, because there is such interest in registering, our web site can be overwhelmed when multiple visitors try to register at the same time.  Please wait 1 – 5 minutes before trying again if you encounter an issue while trying to register.  

 

Program Week Theme descriptions are available on the Summer Camp Description page.

Our standard camp program is now from 9:00am – 4:00pm, 
with drop offs only from 8:45 – 9:00am and pick ups only from 4:00 – 4:15pm

What will camp look like this year?

Thank you for your patience! Due to an ongoing shortage of available and qualified child care educators in our area, our capacity is very limited again this summer. 

  • We are unable to offer an extended care hours program.
  • You may register for up to 8 full weeks (we are unable to offer single-day, partial weeks or drop-in care).
  • Pricing will be based on birthdates.
  • Junior Explorers is $110 ($88 for a short week) per week for all campers born July 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021. (Children born in July 2019 are no longer eligible for a CWELCC subsidy after July, and so those children will be manually re-registered into Senior Adventurers program at the unsubsidized rate below for any August weeks AFTER your registration is processed (as our simple registration program cannot split the initial registration weeks offered as needed here.)
  • Senior Adventurers is $250 ($200 short week) per week for all campers born July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2019. (Children born June 30, 2019 are offered a one day CWELCC discount for June 30th if joining our Week One Program.)
  • Refunds are not offered for cancellelations except under special circumstances like hospitalizations or where we must move a pre-paid child to the wait list.
  • Camp will be located at Guy B. Brown Elementary School.
  • Daily snacks and lunches (NOT provided) should be sent peanut and nut free.
  • City of Hamilton Child Care Subsidy Approvals are accepted.
  • Children are grouped by age although some planned mixed-age groups do occur. We are unable to accept friend grouping or group leader requests.
  • Daily outdoor time, fresh air and active play is emphasized. Local walking excursions are planned, and families will be notified in advance if we are able to offer bus trips.
