2026 Great Escape Day Camp Registration

Application for Enrollment - Summer 2026 (June 8 – August 7, 2026).

Please complete one application for each child.

Please Note: Every effort will be made to accomodate reservation requests. Once your registration is processed, you will receive an email, confirming the dates your child will be able to attend camp. Your child will be put on the Wait List for any dates we can not immediately accomodate.

Please know, the Wait List is heavily monitored, throughout the week. You will receive an email if/when your child has been moved from the Wait List to the Camp Schedule.

We strive to move the Wait List as much as possible, as far in advance as possible. However, some requested dates simply do not open up or do not open up, until the last minute. As stated, we continue monitoring for open dates, through the week prior to your requested dates. If we are not able to accommodate, you will receive an email communicating this, possibly as late as the week prior to your requested dates.

Please complete below in the event of not being able to contact a parent / guardian in an emergency.

Great Escape 2026 is an 8-week program open Monday–Friday from 7:30am–5:30pm.
