Thank you to those of you who have reached out regarding our 2020 Summer Camp Program and to those who took the time to take our Summer Camp and Program survey which has provided crucial feedback as we prepare to open Hilton-Parma Parks & Recreation and await the opportunity to run in-person programs again, such as Summer Camp.
While much is still unknown at this time regarding definite programming/opening dates and mandated safety guidelines, it is possible we will open and operate with social distancing, equipment sharing and capacity restrictions. We are actively monitoring County, State, and CDC guidelines in order to provide as much of a safe and sanitary environment as possible. We are committed to increased cleaning and sanitation efforts in order to continue to provide exceptional parks, open space, trails, facilities, programs & services. Staff are assessing programs and facilities for social distancing opportunities and securing supplies (i.e. sanitizers, soaps, scanning thermometers, individual camper equipment/supplies).
At this time, we are opening a pre-registration for those interested in Summer Camp. The pre-registration will open on Tuesday, May 26 and no payment will be required at this time. The pre-registration will simply add you to an interest list as we await details in the event a program is feasible. Pre-registering does not mean your child(ren) is/are registered for the program or guaranteed a spot. Please know that we expect capacity to be limited and our pre-registration maximum will be lower than traditional years. If and when official registration opens, we plan to admit participants based on the order of pre-registrations. This will serve as a precursor to a potential lottery system and open registration.
As soon as we have firm information, we will share it with the community via email and our Social Media accounts. We thank you for your patience and understanding as many factors are going into the decision making and planning process.
IMPORTANT NOTES: Dates, locations and fees are not finalized at this time and are subject to change. All of these factors will be dependent on camp operating restrictions and facility availability. Should there be major capacity restrictions, priority will be given to Hilton-Parma residents.
