The Park District of Oak Park is proud to be accredited by the American Camping Association (ACA). This nationally recognized program, developed exclusively for the camp industry, focuses on program quality, health and safety issues. It also requires us to review every facet of our day camp operations on an annual basis. We have voluntarily submitted to this independent audit by camp experts and have earned this mark of distinction. Please look for the ACA symbol listed next to the camp name to find the camps which fall into this category. Staff to camper ratio is 1:6 for campers ages 3-5, 1:8 for campers ages 6-8, and 1:10 for campers ages 9-13. Campers must be within the camp's age range or entering the appropriate grade level of the session they are signed up for by thge first day of camp. Any registration submitted without a date of birth will be held until the date is verified. Parents or caregivers will be required to sign their children out of camp on a daily basis, unless we have written permission in advance for a child to go home on their own, in which case the child will sign themselves out of camp (only allowed for campers ages 10 and up). Each camper will receive a camp t-shirt for the first session of camp in which they attend. PLEASE NOTE! • Summer camps were Lotteried in the Spring Program Guide. Unless noted, summer camps are not a part of the Summer Lottery. Summer camps that were full at press time are not included in this Program Guide. • Register for camps that use grades according to what grade your child(ren) will be entering in Fall 2014. • Registration deadline for any camp that remains open for registration through its start date is the THURSDAY before camp begins!
