The Parks and Recreation Department prides itself on offering a high-quality, well-staffed, and engaging summer camp program. With rising costs and increased difficulty in staffing, the Department has made some changes to the program to help ensure that a quality camp experience is not sacrificed. These changes will help us manage group sizes, balance staffing, and ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for every camper.
The most notable changes are:
Limited enrollment/grade caps - limiting enrollment allows us to better plan trips and special events and give us a set number of campers so we can hire an appropriate number of staff to keep optimum camper to counselor ratios.
Registration - with camp space now limited, we are opening registration to Whitpain Township residents first on February 26 at 10 a.m. Non-residents will be able to register approximately one month later if there is space available.
Also new for 2026 the weekly Kona Ice truck visit will be included with your camp registration.
The core of the camp program isn't changing, and campers will still experience weekly trips, in-house special events, theme days and more.
