Campers should wear closed-toe shoes, a t-shirt, and shorts or pants. You may want to send a sweatshirt or fleece with your camper as our building can run a bit cold in the summer. PreK campers should always bring a change of clothes in their bags and a small blanket for their nap time. All campers should reference the weekly welcome letter so that they may be prepared for special days and activities. This letter is sent the Tuesday before camp starts.

Please note: Day campers and outdoor sports campers are strongly encouraged to wear sunscreen. If you would like sunscreen reapplied, please complete the medication form during registration.

Campers have snack time at 10:00 am and 2:00 pm each day. Snacks from home are always welcome, or for your convenience, you may purchase weekly snacks for the AM or PM snack period during the registration process. The weekly price for snacks is $5 for AM snacks and $5 for PM snacks. Pre-ordered snacks can be purchased through your camp account and ordered as late as Friday before each camp week.

Each day will feature one snack such as Goldfish, Cheez-Its, Pirate’s Booty, Veggie Straws and more, depending on availability. Gluten-free snacks such as Veggie Straws and Pirate’s Booty are always available for campers with food-sensitive allergies.

Campers will not visit the PAWS store during their camp time. Campers should bring snacks from home or pre-order snacks through their camp account.

Lunch is available for purchase. Each day there will be a hot option and a vegetarian option as well as a salad and sandwich bar. Dessert is provided 3 times a week. Lunch must be purchased by noon on the Tuesday prior to camp start. Students may also bring their lunch.

Lunchtime is 12:00 pm –12:30 pm and is fully supervised by counselors and instructors.

Parish Summer is a nut-free campus.

Parents do not need to park and walk their child(ren) inside. Counselors will unload your child(ren) from your vehicle and will walk them to check in with staff. Drop-off for Extended Day AM begins at 7:30 a.m., 8:45 a.m. for morning camps, and 12:15 p.m. for afternoon camps.

We understand that your child may have conflicts or an illness. However, we cannot prorate the cost of the camp or offer make-up days for missed portions of camp.

Your child must be 3 years old and toilet trained. View policy below:

Children in all PreK camps are expected to be fully toilet trained before entering our program. It is expected that the child is toilet trained, stays dry for several hours, and uses the bathroom during our restroom breaks or when they request to use the restroom. In addition, children must be wearing underwear in our camps and may not wear pull-ups.

The following are a few of the signs we see when your child is toilet trained:

• The child recognizes when they need to use the toilet.
• The child stays dry for an extended period of time.
• The child can undress and pull up his/her own pants.
• The child can wipe him/herself after using the toilet.
• The child can wake up during nap time should they need to use the restroom.

Provide at least 2 changes of clothes, including pants, underwear and socks. Soiled clothing will be placed in a bag in your child’s backpack to be taken home.

• If restroom accidents occur, parents will be notified with the understanding that the issue needs to be addressed and corrected.
• If multiple accidents occur in one day, the parent will be notified and must pick up their child. If not corrected by the next day, the child will have to stay home the remainder of the week. No refund will be applied.

A sample schedule for the Parish Summer Day Camp can be found here. This is not a hard and fast schedule but will give you a general idea of the day to day.

If you arrive late for drop-off, please park and walk your camper into the school and staff will walk your child to the camp.

Please park and walk inside the school and staff will bring your child to you. We cannot accommodate pick up within the 15 minutes prior to the start of carpool.

All phones or other electronic devices must be kept in bags or backpacks during camps, extended care and lunchtime.

Absolutely not! We welcome campers from all area schools or home-school as well as relatives or friends visiting from outside of the Dallas area.

Campers are accompanied by a camp administrator, counselor or instructor at all times.

Please use the grade your child will be entering in the fall of 2023.

If your child will be in Primer, since that progresses differently at each school, please select Kindergarten.

All summer camps for 2023 can be found on the browse programs page of our site. Each camp has a registration link that will take you directly to UltraCamp, our registration system, for that specific camp. You can also go directly to UltraCamp to browse and select camps.

Camps and classes are limited in size and are available on a first come, first served basis. Scheduled payments must be fulfilled in order to retain your child’s place in any camp. The $25 registration fee and the $50 per camp deposit will be retained for all canceled registrations. Camps/classes are subject to cancellation due to insufficient enrollment. If a class or camp is canceled due to insufficient enrollment, you will be fully refunded. We will endeavor to make cancellation decisions as early as possible.

Please enroll in camps that align with your child’s grade in the fall of 2023.

Registrations received after Thursday at noon will incur an additional fee of $50 per camp.

We happily accept walk-in registrations on a space available basis.

Camps can be added at any time via your online account. If you need to make a change to an existing reservation, please contact us at summer@parish.org.

If your preferred camp is sold out, please feel free to sign up for the waitlist for that camp. There is no fee associated with the waitlist and there is no obligation to enroll if space becomes available. If space becomes available, you’ll receive an email. You will have 24 hours to register for that spot.

When you completed your registration you should have received a confirmation email with details about your registration.  You can also log back into the registration platform at any time to update family information such as authorized pick-ups or medication, and view current, past or upcoming registrations.  A new way to view current year registrations is to create/log into your ParishPlus account and navigate to the UltraCamp registration tab.  When you first visit this tab you will be asked for your UltraCamp ID number, and it offers a lookup tool.  Once this account ID is linked to your Parish Plus account you will be able to view current registrations.

Your reservation confirmation email will include a receipt, which gives the names and dates of the camps for which you registered. We send a weekly welcome email mid-week prior to each camp start date, which gives information about carpools and other common questions, as well as specific information about any items required for specific camps or performances. Please note, most camps do not have special information. We post pictures to social media on a regular basis throughout the week, please follow us to see how much fun the campers are having! Some workshops include teacher reports that are sent home to families, that information is noted in the details about those camps. Finally, each Friday we send another email newsletter wrapping up the week.
