By registering, participants agree to abide by all Carol Stream Park District rules and policies while in summer camp. Participants not following our code of conduct may be immediately and permanently suspended.

Our goal is to accommodate as many families as possible. Space in the Outdoor Adventure Camp program is limited. The Carol Stream Park District reserves the right to adjust minimums, maximums, and locations based on the availability of space, staff, and enrollment in order to maintain the safety, structure, and integrity of the program as a whole. Maximum enrollment may be updated at any time, without notice.

Reprinted receipts and Flexible Spending Reports (including all potential childcare expenses within a given time frame) are available for your records. The Carol Stream Park District is not responsible or liable for determining childcare expenses. Tax statements are automatically emailed to households with email addresses on file and mailed to all other homes by the end of January each year.

The Outdoor Adventure Camp program will utilize ePACT for participant information. Registered campers will receive an email to input or confirm necessary information including, but not limited to: authorized contact and pick up people, swim permission and emergency information.

All campers must have ePACT profiles completed prior to their first day of camp. Campers will not be permitted to attend until ePACT information has been completed.

If your child has any special medical, physical, psychological, emotional needs, or receives any special services from CCSD93, list them in detail on your registration material. Lack of information may adversely affect the Carol Stream Park District’s ability to accommodate the needs of your child and may necessitate that participant’s removal from the program. The Carol Stream Park District is not responsible for any injuries, complications, damages, or losses due to withheld information. All participants must be toilet-trained and are responsible for all of their own toileting needs (i.e., fastening their own clothing).
