Mecklenburg County has announced the opening dates for its 2025 summer camp registration. According to the official statement by the Mecklenburg County, registration kicks off on March 4 and will continue through March 6. The camps offer a diversity of programs including sports, aquatics, and technology, which are designed to keep children both active and mentally engaged during the summer hiatus from school.

The sign-ups will begin punctually at 9 a.m. each day, so hurry to grab your spot since these camps are known to book up quickly. Eastway Regional Recreation Center and Northern Regional Recreation Center will open their registrations for Mecklenburg County residents on March 4. While Mecklenburg County residents looking to enroll their kids in camps at other recreation centers, nature spots, and also for aquatics camps, will have their chance starting on March 5. Finally, for those residing outside the county's lines, your opportunity to secure a camp spot is on March 6.

Understanding the importance of inclusion and accessibility, the county is also offering scholarships for these summer programs. Eligible Mecklenburg County residents are encouraged to apply for scholarship assistance by the upcoming deadline of February 15, with more information readily available online. These scholarships are intended to ensure every child can have an enriching summer experience, regardless of financial barriers.

Available for review right now, the list of camps can be found on the Park and Recreation’s ActiveNet activity registration site. Remember to set those reminders as spaces are going fast, so don’t miss out. For anyone interested in scholarship opportunities, it's high time to act to confirm funding is squared away before the registration madness begins.
