Registration
Camp Payment Option
The Deerfield Park District 2013 day camp registration lottery took place in January 2013. You may still register for day camp if there is an opening in the program you want for your child. Camp site locations, listed in this brochure, may change because of maintenance work at Deerfield schools. We will advise you immediately of any changes should they occur.
Camper Lists on Display! Information about camper lists will be included in the camp parent manual that will be mailed the first week of April. If you want your child’s name included on this list (for car pools, birthday party invitations, or so other youngsters can call your child to play) please fill out the appropriate form in your camp packet and return it (with your completed Health History Form) to the park district. While everyone may look at the camper list, only those who have given us permission can have their child’s name listed. We can’t list a name unless you specifically ask us to do so. Once the camper list is compiled, you may see it at Camp Information Night or at the park district registration office.

A camp payment plan is offered for the 2013 camp season. Your camp fees may now be paid in five (5) equal monthly payments through an automatic installment billing process. Installment billing must be set up as an automatic charge/debit to a credit card or from a bank account. All automatic (or electronic) account withdrawals (ACH) and credit card charges will be processed on the 15th day of February, March, April, May and June of 2013. Please be aware that this is the only payment plan that will be offered for camp fees. It is expected that all camp fees will be paid in full prior to the start of the first day of camp for participants to attend camp. For more information and/or enrollment forms for this payment option, please contact the registration office at 847-945-0650.
Camp Refund Policy One week prior to the start of camp, you may receive a refund on a camp fee less your ($50 or $100)* nonrefundable, nontransferable deposit. Once camp begins, refunds will be granted only for medical conditions or if you are moving out of the park district. In this case, the ($50 or $100)* nonrefundable, nontransferable deposit will be deducted and the refund will be prorated based on the date when participation will end. *(Amt. depends on camp.) If your child is unable to continue in a program because of a medical problem, you must submit a letter from your doctor on his letterhead to receive a refund. If you are moving out of the district, you must submit proof in writing that you are moving, in order to receive your refund.
If a child engages in behavior(s) which may result in bodily harm to others, an immediate meeting with the parent may be called. If such behavior warrants it, immediate suspension or expulsion may result. Temporary suspension from participation due to misconduct will not entitle participant to a refund. An adult shall receive one verbal or written warning. The second incident may result in suspension from the program, event or facility. If an adult physically strikes a person or object or throws an object at another person, or takes any other action that may pose a real threat of bodily harm to others, or is verbally abusive to others, s/he may immediately be suspended or expelled from the program or facility.
