| I have my "dream" camp, and then my fallback if that one fills up too quickly. Problem is that the fallback sign-up date happens before the "dream" sign-up date. I guess I wait for the dream date, and hope the fallback camp doesn't fill up? Advice anyone? |

| Re which sites will have which summer camp options: Usually individual sites have the same programs year to year. I'd Google a copy of last year's camp catalogue. |

Does anyone know which camps are held in a school (and not a rec. center?)
Thanks! |

| I think there may be some changes this year-- eg Macomb is no longer on the list. I was told by someone at DPR that all camps will be at rec centers this year, not at DCPS schools. |

| Thanks for the heads up. I wasted many hours at the "Day of Chaos" I'm glad they are trying something new.... we'll see how it works! |

Should I really trust DPR with my little one? (Little Explorers age)? Do they have mainly teenager 'counselors'? Is it organized?
What was your experience last year (at what specific sites)? Obviously the price is attractive. How about quality? I'm fine with play -- is it safe, supervised, fun? |

Yeap, this year DPR is NOT having any camps in schools. They are all going to be at Rec Centers.
Wayan, I am in the Petworth facebook group. Are you guys planning on sending your kid to the Peworth Camp? Thanks, Eva |

| Has anyone been able to find out how they will treat online versus in-person registrants? Seems like a mess waiting to happen. |

| Any tips on the Verano camp, did anyone try it last year? I am thinking that I should perhaps register in person...thoughts? |

The verano at Cleveland was horrible. The staff/kids spoke more English than Spanish. It was a waste of my biligual child's time and a waste of my money.
I am not sure what DPR is doing this year. I am not sure if they are doing 1 or 2 locations and am not sure of the locations. |

| FYI, that link is accurate- I used it yesterday to get the locations for each camp. But DPR's website is horrible and down half the time, so if it doesn't work just try again in a few minutes. |
