We were considering signing up for the DC Dept. of Parks & Recreation summer camp at Lafayette Elementary. I'd be grateful to hear about the experiences of anyone whose children have gone to DC DPR camp -- at Lafayette or elsewhere.

I would love to know too! I have no reviews on these and there is just one week I want to send him to DPR and I am getting super anxious.

My son attended a Discovery camp at Brent last year, for one session. It was about as you would expect from a really cheap camp. Nothing horrendous, but not a spectacular experience. I recall a lot of sitting around and a lot of disciplining.

We may do another two-week session (signups are tomorrow), but wouldn't do more than that.

I would be wary of Lafayette - they are redoing the rec center and it will be under constructions all summer.

In the past Lafayette DPR summer was held in the actual school

That will also be under construction - at least part of it. I'd call and ask them.

They are doing DPR in early Education rooms at Lafayette. Won’t be under construction.

Does anyone know if you can double-book one kid at two different DPR camps for the same session? Obviously, we'd have to withdraw from one and attend only the other. Not that I expect to get so lucky. . .

Argh! I was at the ready at 11:59, but then the site loaded slowly. By 12:03 Session 1 for our top choice was filled and I was waitlisted at #12. I did get into the other sessions we wanted, and also booked an alternative for session 1 if we don't get off of the waitlist. Dammit man!

I tried that last year and it wouldn't let me. I had registered for a less desirable camp as a safety and then got errors the next day when I tried for the camp we really wanted. The other parent quickly created an account and was able to register for the preferred camp, and I withdrew from the safety.

Today I had two browsers going and the one running behind said I couldn't add because of duplicate enrollment.
