What is Allerton Day Camp all about?
Allerton Day Camp is all about discovering art and nature while having fun outside! Each week of camp has a different topic, but they all share a common goal of spending quality time outdoors.
We hike every day, play countless games and explore the art and nature found only at Allerton Park.
Where is camp held?
Camps are held in one of two different buildings in the Park. Your registration materials will include detailed information about where to drop your camper off.
Do you offer extended day?
Yes! We offer BEFORE and AFTER care to extend the camp day. Times are listed on the registration form and online. Participants must be pre-registered to use Extended Day.
Participants may be dropped off 5 minutes prior to the start of camp and will be allowed a 5-minute grace period after the end of camp. If you need care earlier or later than those times, you are required to sign your child up for Extended Day. Regularly late pick-ups will be charged a P.M. Extended Day fee for that week.
When is the deadline to register?
Camp registration continues all summer if space remains available. Individual weeks of camp can fill quickly. Registration closes for individual weeks of camp 14 days prior to that camp.
Can I reserve a spot in camp?
Yes! You can hold your child’s spot in camp with a non-refundable deposit of $50 per child per week. Your spot will be held until payment is due 10 business days prior to the start of camp. If payment is not made 10 business days prior, the spot will be opened up to the waitlist without refund of deposit. When payment is made, your deposit fee will be applied toward total camp fees.
Do you offer any discounts?
Yes! Registration and full payment of 4+ weeks of camp at once (any 4+ weeks of camp during the summer) will result in a 10% discount of registration fees. Please note that this transaction must be made all at once. Families are eligible for this discount if they split 4+ weeks between multiple campers in the same household.
What is your cancellation policy?
Participants may cancel their registration and withdraw from camp up to 10 business days from the start of camp and receive a full refund of the registration fee minus a $20 administrative fee. If a participant cancels fewer than 10 business days prior to the start of camp, they will be charged the full fee for that camp.
My child turns 5 or 8 during the summer, can I still register?
Your child must be 5 years old before the start of their first day of camp for Acorns and 8 years old for Adventurers.
Does Allerton offer transportation to and from camp?
Piattran provides Allerton Day Camp rides to and from the pool as well as providing a transportation alternative for parents getting kiddos to and from camp!
To set up rides for your camper, you should submit a current Rider Intake Form directly to the Piattran office at least 2 weeks prior to camp. To arrange payment of rider fees, please contact Piattran directly. Due to administrative processes, camp staff will not be collecting rider fees or intake forms for Piattran. If Piattran does not have your camper’s form and payment one week prior to the start of camp, your camper will not be able to ride Piattran, including Adventurers going to the pool. If you have any questions regarding this service, please contact Piattran directly.

ADVENTURERS ONLY INFORMATION
My camper is attending Adventurers Camp. How do I set up rides to the pool with Piattran?
Piattran provides Adventurers rides to the pool twice per week. Campers will need a current Rider Intake Form on file and payment paid directly to Piattran. If Piattran does not have this form and payment one week before the first trip to the pool, your camper will not be able to ride Piattran. See above for Piattran contact information.
Do we need to purchase a pool pass?
Campers will not need to purchase a pool pass! Pool fees are included in the camp registration fee.
