Registration for Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation’s 2020 Summer Camp Series is open and spots are filling quickly. Campers can enroll in just one week or the full summer, depending on need and availability.

CCPR offers 12 full-day camps for ages 5 to 15. These camps will run Monday through Friday from June 1 to July 31. Camp hours fall between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m., varying by camp. Several summer favorites will return including Chillville, Success on Stage and Move to Improve. New this summer are Under the Sun and Camp C.A.R.E. Every week campers will participate in theme-inspired, hands-on activities, indoor and outdoor play, and for most camps field trips and visits to The Waterpark.

“We are thrilled to introduce two new camps this summer,” said Jennifer Brown, CCPR’s Director of Extended School Enrichment and Summer Camp Series. “Our staff spent a lot of time developing new curriculums to meet the needs of our campers and their families. We can’t wait for another summer of fun!”
