You can do this in person on the first day, OR you can do it online by logging into your account using the link in your confirmation email. You will see a red button that says "record consent."

The KidSpirit staff are the greatest group of people you will ever meet! Our hiring process is highly selective to ensure we find the most enthusiastic and knowledgeable high school and college students around. Each staff member attends 22 hours of intensive training, including CPR and First Aid certification. Staff consistently receive feedback and evaluations to ensure they continue their path to excellence. All instructors use a structured lesson plan template for every activity/class.
We teach developmentally appropriate sports, fitness, art, academic skills, and more. But the fun doesn't end there! As a part of our KidSpirit mission, we guide our campers along to teach them the social and emotional skills they'll need to form lifelong friendships, all while taking part in sports, arts, and science instruction. Visit our KidSpirit mission page for more information on our curriculums and skills!
We try to post our Summer Day Camp activity schedules on our website as soon as registration opens. Occasionally we do not have that information at the time of registration because we begin enrolling for our camps while we are also hiring for the amazing staff that bring our camps to life, and we work to align our activities to the skill sets of our staff to offer the best experience possible.
We ask that everyone please share their insurance and medical information with us when you register your child. Whether you are registering by the phone or filling out the form online, please be patient with us during the medical history portion of the registration. Thirty-two medical history questions may seem like a lot but in the event of an emergency, it is important that we know as much as possible about your child so that our staff and medical responders can provide quality care. Each of the questions we ask could save your child's life.
All participants requiring medication during the hours they are at KidSpirit must fill out an additional form, and bring the medication in the original container to the KidSpirit office. All medications will be kept in the office and dispensed as prescribed by a doctor.
Yes! If your preferred group is already full, you may add your child’s name to a wait list when registering. You are not obligated to switch classes if the activity becomes available. You will be notified if your child has been moved off the wait list.
Yes. However, KidSpirit charges a $25 administration fee to switch classes after registration. If there is a medical reason, the fee will be waived if a doctor’s note is provided.
For privacy reasons, we cannot share information about other participants' registrations. You may want to speak with the other child's guardian to coordinate your registrations.
If you would like to register for a certain group you may do so during registration. If you would like to change the group your child already registered for, call, email or visit the office for help.
Yes. You must apply by the scholarship deadline as listed on the Summer Camp Fees & Payments page.
