The Chicago Park District is launching the first phase of an initiative to improve its Summer Day Camp program registration process and address long-standing registration frustrations starting with the 2026 season. To better meet the needs of Chicago families and enhance equitable access for all summer camp applicants, the Chicago Park District is conducting a comprehensive evaluation of its Summer Day Camp program and registration system. As the Park District moves to improve registration to the cost-effective summer camp, residents will have an opportunity to provide feedback, ask questions and walk-through the camp sign-up process during two webinar sessions led by Park District staff on Tuesday, April 14 at12 p.m. and 6 p.m., the day after the Summer Park Schedule is made available on the Park District website. Residents are invited to submit questions and suggestions for the webinar prior to April 14th by filling out the form available at www.chicagoparkdistrict.com/day-camp.
