Camp FAQs

If you live in the City of Hartford and your child is between the ages of five-twelve, then your child is eligible to attend Hartford’s Camp Courant.

Registration forms are now available online and can only be accessed from Camp Courant’s website.  Click ‘Register’ to begin the online application.  To be considered, applications much be filled out completely and correctly, and must be completed by a parent or guardian. When registering your child, you may choose to register either on a week-to-week basis or for the full six weeks.

If spaces open up, registrants on the wait list, in the order the registrations were received, will be notified by email that they may attend. Attendance will be monitored daily and evaluated weekly to determine how many children on the wait list will be able to attend Camp.

All parents/guardians will receive a confirmation email after the online application is complete and you’ve clicked ‘SUBMIT.’  This does not guarantee your camper is enrolled for the 2024 summer camp season.  No spot is guaranteed until all the required medical forms have been uploaded.  Once we receive and review the medical documents, you will then receive a SECOND (2nd) confirmation email indicating your child has a guaranteed spot at camp. 

You will have the option to select one of the bus stops on the registration list that is most convenient to you.

Children must be at their designated bus stop no later than 8:30 am to be picked up for Camp. If your child misses the bus, he or she may not attend Camp that day. For the safety of our campers, parents are not permitted to drop off their child at Camp. Drop off is between 3:00 and 3:30 pm. Available bus stops are listed on the registration page. Attendance will be taken at each stop, and there are counselors at every stop who ride with the children to and from Camp. 

Parents Day will be held Saturday, June 22, 2024 from 9:00am – 12:00pm.  Transportation will not be provided.  Parents and guardians are invited to the campsite for a tour, and will have the opportunity to meet with the program staff to learn about all of the programs offered at Camp Courant over the summer.  Information regarding Parents Day will be sent electronically to registered camper families and an RSVP is required in order to attend.

All activities and services provided by Hartford’s Camp Courant are FREE of charge to Hartford’s children.

We suggest your child bring a bathing suit and a towel to Camp. If your child does not have a bathing suit or towel, one will be provided. Hartford’s Camp Courant is not responsible for personal belongings, and strongly suggests that your child does not bring anything valuable to Camp. We also suggest you write your child’s name on everything he or she wears or brings to Camp, and that he or she wear closed-toed shoes.

There is a section on the registration form for you to indicate whether or not your child will attend summer school. Once summer school begins, your child will be removed from the registration list. If your child’s summer school status changes, please contact Candice Colón, Program Director, at (860) 370-3470 or ccolon@campcourant.org
