Vail Rec District’s summer camp registration now open
Sara Eaton, Vail Recreation District
The Vail Recreation District’s summer day camp registration opened Monday morning at 8 a.m., offering active and engaging camps for children ages 2 and a half to 12.
To register, visit http://www.vailrec.com/register. Before registering, be sure to have an updated online account. Parents and guardians will need to update and confirm their child’s grade (the grade they will be going into after the summer). First-time users can also create an account.
Organizers are reminding participants that all registrations for day camps will go directly to a waitlist for the summer. The Vail Rec District will allow entry into camp based on Eagle County Public Health’s recommendations and requirements regarding residency, group size, etc., and will contact participants to confirm if and when they have been moved from the waitlist to an enrolled status. Organizers recommend signing up starting Monday for all preferred dates, and then sending registration forms to community@vailrec.com to be appropriately prioritized for enrollment.
