Camp ECHO & ECHO Extreme – Summer 2024
This camp is jam-packed with a variety of non-stop activities that will keep your child going for the entire day. The majority of the day is located outside where children play, exercise, gain independence, learn life skills, make friends, and have a memorable summer. In addition to arts, crafts, sports, and games, campers explore the outdoors through fishing, hiking, scavenger hunts, and more. There will also be swim days and field trips weekly. A field trip list will be available shortly.
Camp counselors are mature and enthusiastic high school students, college students, and adults who provide a non-competitive environment for children to relax, have fun, and be kids. Most of our counselors have been with the Park District and the camp program for a number of years.
Registration
Register your child in the grade level he/she is entering in Fall 2024. Registrations are accepted online or by completing a Registration Form and returning it with payment to the Community Center, 255 Briargate Road, Cary.
Weeks are to be paid in full 7 days prior to the start of each week. Failure to pay 7 days prior may result in removal of your spot in camp. To ensure proper staff to camper ratio, all camp registrations must be received no later than 12:00 pm on the Thursday prior to camp. If space remains, spots will be filled via the waitlist.
To qualify for resident rates an individual must reside within the boundaries of the Cary Park District. While boundaries of other taxing bodies in the community are different, you may confirm whether you are a Cary Park District resident by looking at your tax bill under the taxing bodies you support.
Multi-Session Reward
Attend six or more full week sessions of camp per child to receive a $25 Park District gift certificate. Multi-session rewards can only be earned on full week camps.
Required Forms
All campers are required to have a 2024 Emergency Card, Camper Code of Conduct, and Registration, Refund, and Payment Acknowledgement filled out, submitted, and on file before the first day of camp. These and other forms will be available by April 8 and may be found in the Forms section.
