Prior to registration, families NEED TO sign in to their online account to verify:
- that your address is correct
- all family members are listed
- UPDATE your child’s grade to reflect the grade they will be in NEXT SCHOOL YEAR (2026-27).
This will ensure everything is accurate and updated so that there are no barriers when registration opens.
ESSEX JUNCTION, ESSEX TOWN, and WESTFORD RESIDENTS
We will utilize an online registration format and will continue to honor participation credits for current families. Registration dates will be rolled out in a tiered system according to participation credits and awarded as follows:
- ONE participation credit for each week of Camp Maple Street, Camp REACH (Fleming and FMS), Camp Discovery, and Camp Nova attended last summer (maximum of 9 credits).
- TWO participation credits for each day of the week regularly scheduled for Rec Kids afterschool in the current school year (maximum of 10 credits).
Households with multiple children will be assigned a tier based on the child with the greatest number of credits in the household.
Household residency determines which camps are available for registration:
- City of Essex Junction residents receive priority registration for Camp Maple Street and Camp REACH at Fleming.
- Town of Essex residents and Westford residents receive priority registration for Camp Discovery and Camp REACH at FMS.
- Camp Nova registration is available for City, Town and Westford residents.

The second is a payment plan option which will require a minimum down payment of 25% of the total cost to secure registration. The payment method for this down payment will be automatically charged for the remaining balance for each week as follows:
- April 1- 25% of total cost
- May 1- 25% of total cost

ENROLLING IN OTHER EJRP CAMPS
If you would like to enroll your child in other EJRP specialty camps that take place during the week that your child is enrolled in one of our full day summer camps, you will receive a 25% discount for these specialty camps. You must register and pay for these camps separately and in person/over the phone to receive the discount. For on-site programs at Maple Street Park/ADL, our staff will escort your child to and from camp if they are attending Camp Maple Street or Camp STAR. For on-site programs at the Founders/Essex Middle School locations, our staff will escort your child to and from camp if they are attending Camp Discovery. For off-site programs, parents/guardians will be responsible for getting their child to and from the camp. Exception: Camp Maple Street and Camp Discovery participants may not enroll in an additional swim lesson outside of their camp lesson during the day. Summer Camp and Swim brochure will be released in mid March.
