IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARENTS Camper Space is Limited This Year! We regret to inform our camper families that after 116 years of saying, “Yes” to any Hartford child that wanted to attend camp, Camp Courant for the first time must put a limit on the number of children who can attend summer camp. This is due to reduced individual, corporate, government and foundation funding. Camper registration will be capped at the first 450 registrants for the first week of camp. Please read the following information carefully.
How will I know when my child can begin camp? · Only the first 450 registrants will be considered for the first week of camp. · Registrations will be taken on a first come, first served basis by the date received at the Camp Courant office where they will be dated and numbered. · Although registration forms will be collected through the schools, we strongly suggest that parents/guardians drop off or mail their child’s registration form/s to Camp Courant, 285 Broad St., Hartford, CT. · To be accepted, applications must be filled out completely and correctly, and signed. · The last date to register for Camp Courant this year is: July 9, 2010. · You will receive a green letter in the mail stating the date your child can begin camp. · Please do not bring your child to a bus stop until you have received a green letter. Children who have not received letters will not be on our registration list and therefore will not be permitted to board the bus. · Children who register after the limit for the first week is reached (450) will be put on a waiting list.
What happens if my child is placed on the waiting list? · If space opens up, or if additional funding creates more spaces, then registrants on the waiting list (in the order the applications were received) will be notified by letter that they may attend. · Attendance will be monitored daily and evaluated weekly to determine how many children on the waiting list will be able to attend camp this summer.
Are there any fees? No, all activities and services at Camp Courant are still offered FREE of charge to Hartford children.
What happens if it rains? Camp Courant is open everyday, rain or shine.
What time will my child be picked up and dropped off? Children must be at their designated bus stop at 8:30am to be picked up, and they are dropped off again between 3:00 and 3:15pm (See the list of the bus stops on the registration form.) A bus counselor is on every bus, supervising and taking attendance. Children must get on the bus and off the bus at the same stop each day. Parents may NOT drop off their children directly at camp; these rules are for the safety of the children.
Can I visit the camp? Yes, there will be a Parent’s Day on Thursday, July 1, 2010. A notice containing all the details will be sent with your green letter.

| Frequently Asked Questions Can I visit the campsite before I register my child? Yes. Camp Courant will be holding its annual clean-up day Thursday, June 10th. If you would like to visit the site then, please call Beth at 241-3674 to make arrangements. How much does Camp Courant Cost? Camp Courant is a free day camp for Hartford children. There is no cost. Will my child be fed? One of the many services Camp Courant offers its campers is two nutritious meals a day, and a healthy snack. How will I know if my child can begin camp? You will receive a Green Letter in the mail, stating the date your child may begin camp. Please do not bring your child to a bus stop until you have received a Green Letter. Children who have not received letters will not be on our registration list, and will not be allowed to board the bus. How will I know what bus stop my child will be at? Simple. You select the bus stop on the registration form that is closest to you. What time will my child be picked up and dropped off? Children must be at their designated bus stop at 8:30 am to be picked up, and they are dropped off again between 3:30 and 4 pm (see the list of bus stops on the registration form). A bus counselor is on every bus, supervising and taking attendance. Children must get on the bus and off the bus at the same stop each day (your child is only on the registration list for the bus stop you chose and will not be allowed to board the bus at any other bus stop). Parents may NOT drop their children off directly at camp. These rules are for the safety of the children. Does my child need to bring anything to camp? Just a bathing suit & towel (if your child doesn't have a bathing suit, one will be provided). Camp Courant is not responsible for personal belongings, and strongly suggests your child not bring anything valuable to camp. We also suggest you write your child's name on everything they wear or bring to camp. back to top | |
