Sport Camps

All of our Sports and Specialty Camps are licensed with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and are licensed by the Longmeadow Board of Health. These camps are designated by the word “Licensed” next to the camp name. If a camp is not licensed it still complies with our own strict guidelines for a safe and exceptional camp experience.
Due to licensing requirements, you must submit for each child enrolled in our Camps, a recent (less than 24 months old) Health Information form and a certificate of immunization (signed by a physician) with proof of Chicken Pox and Polio immunity. These forms are available at the time of registration and on-line at www.lprd.net. They must be completed and turned in prior to your child starting the camp program.

The Deadline to register for camps is the Wednesday prior to your session at 5pm to avoid a $10 late registration fee.
