Summer camp registration day is very competitive, and camp spots fill within minutes. You will be required to pay a $50 deposit to secure the spot.

Click here for some tips for registering on registration day.

For Nature Clubs, PA Day Camp, March Break and Winter Break Camp:
If it is at least a week before registration opens, you can apply to the bursary before registering. If your bursary is confirmed we will send you a coupon code to use when registering.

If it is less than a week before registration opens, we cannot guarantee we will have time to review your application before registration.

If registration is already open, we recommend registering to confirm your spot first and then applying to the bursary. If you apply to the bursary before securing a spot the program may fill before we can confirm your bursary. You will be required to pay the full fee to secure a spot. If you would like to apply to the bursary but are unable to pay the full price of the program, please contact Julia Miller-Black, Programs Supervisor, at jmillerblack@highparknaturecentre.com.
