Calling all Summer Eco-Camp fans!

Online registration for Eco-Splorers & Eco-Tots is set to begin Friday May 1st at 8 a.m. but you can jump on the summer camp fast track now!

In an effort to improve your camp registration experience, we have created a way for you to fill out the required camp forms PRIOR to the first day of registration. This will make your registration go faster, and decrease the chance that your child will be placed on a camp waiting list.

Step 1: Register your child for “2026 Fast Track Camp Forms”
Step 2: At checkout, complete the required forms and waivers as instructed.
By registering for this fast track “program”, you will bypass some forms during the camp checkout process! It will simply tell you “You have completed all the required forms.”

Please note, this "program" does NOT register your child for any camps/programs. It simply serves as a way to expedite your camp registration by completing the required forms ahead of time. Additionally, Park District staff will be able to send you updates and reminders leading up to camp registration by using the list of those who have completed the forms.

If you do not take this step, you can complete the required forms & waivers during regular camp registration. However, the registration system will not hold the camps/programs in your “cart” or your child’s spot until all forms have been completed and payment is received.

Parents — remind yourselves that bulky, puffy coats can jeopardize a snug fit in a car seat harness.

Dress your little one in snug-fitting layers instead. 🧒✔️
