Registration
Registration for these camps begins upon receipt of the brochure for residents and March 8 for nonresidents.

Registrations will be accepted:

• Via Fax (847) 501-5779;
• Online: www.winpark.org;
• In-person at the administrative office (540 Hibbard Road); or mail to 540 Hibbard Rd., Winnetka, IL 60093.
  

Payments
You may either pay in full by cash, check or credit card when you register for camp, or Winnetka residents can take advantage of the partial payment plan of two equal payments. Here’s how: When paying by check, write one check for 50% of camp fees, then write a second check for the balance, but post-date it to May 31 - the day it will be deposited. If paying by credit card, half of your fees will be charged to the card upon registration, but the balance will not be charged to your account until May 31. Please indicate on the registration form if you are using the partial payment plan.

A 10% discount will be given to resident families with two or more children enrolled in the full six week program of Kiddie Camp, Happiness Is or Almost Anything Goes if registered before May 5.

Late Registration
The registration deadline for these camps is June 6, unless camps are filled prior to that date. Any registration received after the June 6 registration deadline will be assessed a $25 late fee.

Refunds
If a refund request is made prior to June 5 at 5:00 pm, a full refund, less a $10 service charge per person, per session, will be granted. After June 5 and through the third day of camp, a full refund, less a $50 service charge per person per session, will be granted. No refunds will be granted after the third day of camp. We do our best to issue refunds as quickly as possible, but delays are sometimes necessary to ensure accuracy. Check refunds take approximately 2-3 weeks.

Parent Manuals
Parent manuals for these camps are mailed in early June. These booklets contain information about lunches, snacks, camp clothes, water activities, beach and field trip schedules, and hours.

Included in your manual is an emergency form. It is very important that these forms be filled out completely.

Parent Night
(Kiddie Camp, Happiness Is, Almost Anything Goes)
Join us for a parent information meeting in the Park District Community Room, 540 Hibbard Rd., on June 16 at 6:00 pm. Although not mandatory, this is an excellent opportunity to learn more about camp and meet the staff and other parents.

Camp Staff
Each camp is supervised daily by a qualified adult. Counselors at each camp are a mixture of mature and enthusiastic college and high school students.

All staff members complete an extensive training program which includes supervision, safety techniques, curriculum development and CPR.

Friendship Requests
Friendship requests may only be submitted for Kiddie Camp, Happiness Is and Almost Anything Goes. Only one friend may be placed with your child.

Friendship requests are only accepted if the form on page 9 is completely filled out. You may only request one friend and that friend must also request you. Before submitting a friendship request, you must have the approval from the parent of the child you are requesting to be with. Friendship requests will not be accepted after June 11.
