DCPR Summer Camps
Thank you for your continued interest in the DC Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR). We are pleased to share information about our new Summer Camp Lottery Program, which opens today for all DC residents and DC families interested in our summer recreational programming for children and youth.
DPR heard the feedback from residents for a fairer shot at summer camp opportunities, so this year we are proud to announce a new lottery system for DC residents. In the past, families had to log on at a specific time during the workday with thousands of other families trying to get a camp slot. Slots would be gone within minutes. The new system removes the frantic rush and allows families over THREE WEEKS to consider and make their camp selections. All lottery registrations have an equal chance in the automated and randomized lottery, ensuring equity and fairness.
Log on to DPRSummerCamp.com to learn more, review camp options, and register:
