Create an account in our registration software, UltraCamp. After creating your account, you’ll be asked to input your child(ren)’s information and select your reservations, then pay a deposit. An up-to-date health form is required to attend and should be added to your child’s account prior to their first day of camp. Leading up to camp, we’ll ask you to complete some additional paperwork to make sure your camper is all set for the summer!
You have the option to pay in full at the time of registration, or enroll in a monthly payment plan with an initial deposit of $100 per week of camp. The monthly payment plan will be processed on the 3rd of each month through June 3rd.
Bright Horizons is a partner of ours and has been for the past three summers; we are excited to welcome them back once again! Families are able to access this if their employer provides it as an option. If you have any questions about how to access your Bright Horizons Back-Up Care benefits, please contact your HR or Benefits team. After submitting your dates through Bright Horizons, we’ll ask you to create an account, register through Kids in the Game and provide an up-to-date health form.
Yes, we value the fact that kids in our camps come from all walks of life. We serve youth from various cultural, racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds. We also aim to provide inclusive spaces for students with different abilities as part of our traditional summer camp programming.
We strive to provide a welcoming environment for all campers! During registration, you are able to select the option which best represents your child’s gender expression. We will work with parents/guardians and campers to determine a safe and comfortable bathroom option.
Please fill out and submit the Allergy and Anaphylaxis Emergency Plan, and bring the Epi-pen with you to camp, clearly labeling it. Speak to the camp director about the specific allergies so that we are able to educate their counselors. In the case of an emergency, our team will assist with Epi-pen application.
Each camp has a designated Health Director. In addition, a majority of our staff is First Aid, AED, and CPR certified. Kids in the Game staff members will reach out to families immediately should a medical emergency arise.
No they are not. However, we are continuing to monitor guidance from the CDC, ACA and DOH.
Early drop off is from 8:15-9am. It is included in the cost of camp. Most
campers typically arrive between 8:30-9am.
The official camp day:
3.5 years old (or entering Pre-K4) to 12 years old (or entering 7th grade). We
welcome campers entering Pre-K4 in the Fall that are potty trained and able
to communicate effectively with counselors.
Campers are grouped based on the grade they are entering.
*Ex: A rising Kindergartener will be grouped with other children entering Kindergarten.
Groups remain fixed and under 15 campers. Our ratios are:
Yes! Campers must be entering the same grade. We ask that each family fill out the “Friend Request” area during registration. We will always do our best to accommodate friend requests, but can not guarantee campers will always be placed in groups with their friends.
Kids in the Game camp provides for an active day! Campers should wear comfortable sneakers that they can move in and clothes they can play games in. Younger campers are encouraged to pack an extra set of clothes to leave in their cubby.
All belongings should be clearly labeled with your child’s first and last name.
Families are responsible for packing snacks and lunch each day. We are a nut-free camp!
Parents/guardians are not able to be on site throughout the camp day. While we appreciate our campers’ loved ones wanting to stop by, only campers will be allowed in the building. We strongly encourage you to ask about their day after pick-up so they can share their experiences with you at that time! Camp Directors and Assistant Directors are available to answer questions during drop-off and pick-up.
Kids in the Game is partnering with four separate childcare benefits providers this summer to provide increased access to summer camp! Check with your company’s benefits administrator to see if you are eligible for any of the following:
The first step is to determine what benefits are available to you. You will go through the benefits provider and reserve your camp dates. After we receive confirmation from the partner, we will send instructions on how to put these reservations into UltraCamp, our registration software. All reservations must be added to UltraCamp prior to your first day of camp.
You cannot put the registration into UltraCamp until after we have confirmed your reservation. If you would like to reserve a space prior to registering with your benefits provider, you can register for camp weeks at cost and pay the deposit to secure your spot. Once registered, you can contact us and we will assist in disabling the automatic payments that typically follow deposit payments. When your reservation is confirmed through the provider, we can refund the deposit.
