Sunshine Camp – Summer 2024
Let your child “shine” at this traditional day camp where it is always sunny and fun! Children will enjoy weekly themes, arts and crafts, music, water fun, and meeting new friends during our summer adventure together. Each week camp will have a scheduled water day with sprinklers, bubbles, and outdoor fun.
Each camper must bring a sack lunch, a towel and come to camp with their swimsuit on under their clothes for outdoor water play on their scheduled days. Children must be three years old by the first day of camp. All children must be toilet trained and independent in the bathroom (no pull-ups).
Registration
Cary Park District resident registration begins Monday, April 8. Non-resident registration begins Monday, April 15. Registrations are accepted online or by completing a Registration Form and returning it with payment to the Community Center, 255 Briargate Road, Cary.
Full payment of the first session of attendance is required at time of registration. All other sessions are required to be paid in full 7 days prior to the start of each week. Failure to pay 7 days prior may result in removal of your spot in camp. A Cary Park District payment plan can be arranged for camp registrations. Payment options include cash, check, and most major credit cards.
To qualify for resident rates an individual must reside within the boundaries of the Cary Park District. While boundaries of other taxing bodies in the community are different, you may confirm whether you are a Cary Park District resident by looking at your tax bill under the taxing bodies you support.
Required Forms
All campers are required to have a 2024 Emergency Card and the Sunshine Camp Discipline Guidelines complete, submitted, and on file before the first day of camp. These and other forms will be available by April 8 and may be found in the Forms section.
Withdrawal/Refund Policy
If you need to withdraw your child from camp, a withdrawal form must be completed and returned to the Program Manager at the Community Center. Forms will not be accepted at the camp site. More information on the Refund Policy will be available in the Summer Program Guide available by 5:00 pm on April 1.
