Camp FAQs
Day Camp readiness and some tips to prepare your camper for the best possible experience
Attendance and Registration
Before attending any of our programs, make sure you're already registered your child to participate. Online registration is available via Enjoy! Online. Please note that we will not be able to provide any refunds or make-up classes due to absences.
Waiting Lists
If the program you are interested in full, you may place your child's name on the waiting list. In the event waiting lists grows and if resources permit, another camp may be added to accommodate participants off the waiting list. If someone withdraws and a spot in the camp opens, we’ll contact the first participant on the waiting list. If offered a spot, you will be given a deadline to register and complete payment. If the deadline has passed and payment was not completed, your spot will be given to the next person on the waiting list.
Drop Off / Pick Up
There will be designated spots for drop off and pick up participants. Make sure to bring a form of photo identification (i.e. Driver's License). Please check your welcome letters for more information.
Transportation
Unfortunately, bus transportation to Foothills Nature Preserve is not available this summer. You will be responsible for providing transportation to and from any camp you register for. While we recognize the loss of the bus transportation may be limiting, we apologize for any inconvenience.
Camp Guidelines
City of Palo Alto camps are in full compliance with the most current State and County guidelines around childcare, camps, and other educational or recreational institutions for children. Please note, safety protocols may change as conditions and directives change.
