Parents in Euless, gear up for the summer scramble. It's that time of year again to register your kids for some sun-soaked fun at the city's Summer Adventure Camp and Summer Teen Camp. Euless Parks & Community Services Department is rolling out a lottery system to keep the sign-up process fair and square. So, if you want to secure a spot for your tot or teen, get your ducks in a row. Applications are already flying in, and deadlines are creeping up faster than the mercury in a Texas heat wave, according to the City of Euless.
Euless residents who have been around the block—those with kids who've attended camp before—jump-started the process on February 1, and have until the end of the month to get their names down. New pioneers to the area kicked off their applications on March 1, and the window stays open until March 31. If you're from out of town but had your foot in the door last year, mark your calendars for April 1, because that's your time to shine, with the whole month to register. For the procrastinators or those held up by the hustle of life, there's a catch-all day on May 7. You miss these windows, and it's no campfire songs for you.
If you're eager to get your kids off the couch and into the great outdoors, visit the Parks & Community Services page for all the nitty-gritty, including registration forms, and a parent handbook that's likely thicker than the plot of your average summer blockbuster. Or, if you're more of a talker, dial-up 817-685-1666 and get the lowdown from a real, live human. Don't dilly-dally, Euless is looking forward to making this a summer for the scrapbooks, with or without your kid in the picture.
