Summer Camp 2023

We are thrilled to announce the Stafford Recreation Summer Camp activities for 2023.  At this time, we are releasing all of our camp offerings for the season so that parents can begin to plan what activities they would like their children to attend. We are once again using the a la carte menu for summer camp where you can choose as little or as many days and programs as you wish. 

Registration will open on Monday April 17th at 9:00 AM. Registration is on a first come first serve basis.  Please be advised that trips will be limited to 1 bus and there are size limits to some of our Specialty Camp programs as well as Day Camp. We encourage you to register early. Our online system will create wait lists if a program you are trying to register for fills. Open spots will be awarded in the order they were received. 

This year’s summer camp will run from July 5^th through August 17^th. Day camp will be held at the Ocean Acres Community Center and will run Monday through Thursday from 10 AM to 2 PM. There is no camp on Fridays. We are thrilled to once again offer our trip camp and an exciting variety of specialty camps.

This season summer camp registration and payments will once again be through an online portal which can be found at https://parksrec.egov.basgov.com/staffordtownship. Here you will find all of this year's offerings as well as the ability to create and update your online account and profiles.  Please plan ahead to make your registration as easy as can be.  We encourage all parents to follow the link and create your profile as well as your children's profiles in the system so that when registration opens, you are ready to go! If you created your account last year, please log in and update your child’s information for this year – specifically the grade they are entering for the upcoming school year. 
 
Campers may participate in any combination of the programs offered but it is the responsibility of parents to make sure the schedules do not conflict.
 
Out of town residents may register for an additional 10% fee that will be calculated at the time of registration.  
 

Please note: all registration for programs will be done through our online system and credit/debit cards are the accepted form of payment. Any exceptions to this payment method will be done on a case by case basis and must set up an appointment with Recreation Department staff. 

There is a 1.5% processing fee charged for these transactions. 

Stafford Township does not receive this fee, it is paid to the credit card processor for the use of the product software.

 If you have any questions regarding this, please contact Ken Ames at 609-597-1000 ext. 8595 or kames@staffordnj.gov   

Any of these programs are subject to change should any new guidelines or restrictions be brought forth by the State of NJ or the CDC and/or any staffing issues within Stafford Recreation. Programs may also be changed, cancelled or modified at the discretion of Stafford Recreation at any time.
