Summer Camp Registration is Temporarily Unavailable
WAIT LIST IS OPEN

Town of Wappinger Summer Camp 2022
Summer Camp update:
A little over a week ago, we temporarily suspended registration for summer camp. This was something that we hoped would only be a minor pause. Unfortunately, it has lasted much longer than expected. Our camp program,like so many other summer programs and facilities across the country, is experiencing a staffing shortage. We have been scouring all of the resources available to us to drum up camp counselor candidates.
Per state regulations, the number of campers that we can have is a ratio of 12 campers to every 1 counselor. This is to ensure quality supervision in the of interest safety. Therefore, fewer counselors means fewer campers.
Since the day we suspended camp registration, we have been unable to find the additional staff needed to reopen registration. Camp will be opening as planned and all children who are already registered seat’s are secure.
We understand that this is news that will cause a great amount of frustration for you. But, at this time, we have no choice but to open up a waitlist for camp. We promise that we will continue to do everything we can to solicit candidates. We want your kids to join our camp. We want them to be with us having a fun and safe summer, and we will do everything we can to make that happen. If we are able to hire more counselors, we will be able to let more campers in.
Please, if you know of anyone who is looking for a job this summer, send them our way.
Waitlist information:
The waitlist will open at 9am Monday May 9.
If we are able to accept additional campers they will be taken from the list in the following order, returning Wappinger Residents(2021), New Wappinger Residents, Returning Non-Residents, New Non-Residents.
If your child/children are accepted into camp you will receive an email notification and then we will call you to complete registration.

The Fine Print: While unlikely based on current covid trends, it is possible that children will be required to wear masks while at camp or during transportation for field trips. It is possible that even if these measures are not in place at the start of camp, they may be instated at any time based on BOH guidance. By registering your child for camp, you are confirming that you understand your child will have to comply with whatever PPE/Social Distancing/Safety requirements are in place at any given time or they will not be able to attend camp. There will be no refunds during the camp session due to disagreement with camp policy concerning Covid safety protocols and any refunds prior to the start of camp will be subject to our refund policy. There will also be no refunds if your child is expelled from camp (see disciplinary policy below) for failure to comply with safety policies.
