Welcome to Summer Camp 2026!

The Park District of Franklin Park is excited to welcome campers ages 2 to 14. If you are looking for a high-quality, affordable camp program, look no further!

Camps by Age For Discovery and Teen Camp, please register your child according to the grade they are going into for the Fall 2026-2027 school year. For Tot and Sunshine Camp, your child must be the correct age for 2, 3, and 4-year-olds by the first day of camp. Friend and family grouping requests are not permitted.

Session Length Tot and Sunshine Camp sessions are four weeks long, and Mini Session is three weeks long. Discovery and Teen Camp sessions are two weeks long, and the Mini Sessions are one week long.

Days of Week To accommodate families, we offer three registration options: Monday through Friday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (M/W/F), or Mix and Match (M&M). M&M allows you to pick three days of camp instead of the traditional M/W/F. For M&M, the days must remain the same for each session and be submitted upon registration.

Vacation We will permit a one-week rebate once per summer and per child if requested at registration to accommodate family vacations.

Camp Staff Park District camp counselors, group leaders, and managers participate in an extensive training program to provide a fun and safe camp. Specific staff-to-camper ratios are always maintained. The staff-to-camper ratios are as follows: • Kindergarten & under: 1 staff to 6 campers • Grades 1-2: 1 staff to 8 campers • Grades 4-8: 1 staff to 10 campers

Registration Information • Resident registration opens Tuesday, March 3. Please ensure your residency pass is up to date, or you will not be able to register.

• Non-resident registration opens Thursday, March 5.

Camp Registration Deadlines • To plan activities and maintain staff-to-camper ratios, we ask that you register for each session by 5 pm on Friday before the new session begins. You may register after this deadline only with permission from the Program Manager, provided space exists. In addition, registering after this deadline will delay your child’s start date at camp.

• Day of camp registration is not permitted. If you register your child after the session has begun, your child may start camp the following day once their emergency and medical information is submitted via ePACT.

Spring into Summer 2026

Summer Camp

Field Trips

Family Situations

Discovery Camp goes on a field trip once per session. Teen Camp goes on a field trip twice per session. The days of the field trips vary depending on site availability and schedules. Tot and Sunshine Camps do not go on field trips. Camp schedules, including field trips, are available on the Park District website. Please check the camp schedule for field trip dates and locations.

Staff understand and respect the differences in all families and will do their best to accommodate individual circumstances. In divorce or separation situations, Park District staff will not act as an intermediary between parents and will contact the police if necessary. All custodial parents/guardians should be listed as parents/guardians in ePACT. If requested, we can email both parents/ guardians.

Parent Manuals

In cases where the child is subject to a court order (i.e., Custody Order, Restraining Order, or Protection from Abuse Order), a Certified Copy of the most recent order and all amendments must be uploaded into ePACT.

The Parent Manual, which includes more detailed information, such as what to bring to camp, is available on the Park District website.

Inclusion Services The Park District of Franklin Park welcomes participation in all programs and activities by individuals with disabilities and special needs. The Park District works cooperatively with West Suburban Special Recreation Association (WSSRA) to support children who enroll in Park District programs.

If your child may need additional support due to a disability, don’t hesitate to contact the Park District in advance – call 847-455-2852 or email srivera@fpparks.org. Our recreation team and WSSRA will evaluate each request to determine what accommodations or aid your child might need. Participants requesting inclusion services must adhere to the Park District of Franklin Park’s Behavior Management/Code of Conduct.

Camper Emergency Forms The Park District of Franklin Park utilizes ePACT for camper emergency contact information, pickup authorizations, pertinent medical information, and medication dispensing authorization. Within 24 hours of registration, an email invitation from member.support@epactnetwork. com will be sent to the parent/guardian to complete ePACT forms.

Please check your spam folder if you do not receive the email within the 24 hours. All fields and forms must be completed and submitted a week before your child’s first day of camp. Campers must have updated ePACT forms submitted by drop-off on their first day of camp.

Without a court order on file, both parents will have equal access to their child as stipulated by law. The Park District cannot limit the access of one parent at the request of the other parent, regardless of the reason. Staff will contact the police should a conflict arise.

Camper Expectations The Park District of Franklin Park reserves the right to dismiss a camper from our camp program if they do not demonstrate appropriate behavior. Please review the Park District of Franklin Park’s Behavior Management/Code of Conduct.

Code of Conduct/Behavior Management Camp staff and managers take reasonable steps to reduce the risk of wrongdoing when camper misconduct occurs. A prompt resolution will be sought for each situation. If the risks cannot be eliminated, consequences will result and may lead to suspension or dismissal from camp. Parents/ Guardians must acknowledge the Park District Code of Conduct in the camper’s ePACT forms. For more information on types of misconduct and consequences, refer to the Parent Manual and/or ePACT. If a parent or guardian intimidates, threatens, or harms their child, another child, a staff member, another parent/guardian, or damages Park District property, he/she will be subject to suspension from Park District property under the Park District Control Ordinance. The length of suspension depends on the violation.
