Summer Camp 2025

Register

Dates & Times 

June 30 - August 22, 2025
​There are 8 weeks of camp in total.

Camp hours are 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. daily. 
We understand that parents are busy during the day which is why our summer camp starts earlier and ends later than most other camps. 
Due to our extended hours, there is no before or after care for our summer camp. 

Ages

5 - 12, no exceptions. Kids attending MUST be at least 5 years old by the start of the week(s) of camp they're registered for.

Cost

Our Summer Camp is $270/week, per child. 
​The 4-day weeks in July and August are $230/week, per child.
 
The cost of our camp is the same as last year. No increase in 2025!

What to Bring 

Here is a list of things your child is required to bring to camp daily in order to have a successful week! 
  • Running shoes 
  • Nut-free lunch with AT LEAST 2 snacks 
  • Water bottle 
  • Sunscreen
  • Hat or baseball cap 
  • Full change of clothes 
  • Swimsuit and towel 

Weekly Activities

We run a general summer camp to appeal to every kid who attends. We make sure to include different activities so that all children are having fun while at JPRA. We do sports, running games, arts & crafts, outdoor time, swimming in the JP pool, and we take frequent trips to St. Luke's Park where the kids can play at the park and swim in the wading pool. We also do weekly field trips at no extra cost, usually on the Wednesday of each week.

Registration

Summer Camp registration opens February 5.

​You can register in-person at the front desk of the community center OR online. 
​*Please note that online registration has a 6% extra processing fee that the system charges. We are unable to refund this charge.*

We cap enrolment at 40 kids/week. We recommend registering early to guarantee your child's spot.

Please do not blanket book weeks just to save a spot. Only register for weeks that you plan for your child to attend. Refunds are up to the discretion of the Children's Programs Coordinator and are NOT guaranteed. If the start date of camp is within 2 weeks or sooner at the time of a refund request, refunds will not be considered.
*Payment is needed to reserve your child's spot.
