Campers will need a backpack with the following items;

Campers will need to bring their lunch and a refillable water bottle daily. Lunches should be kept cold on their own for warmer environments as camps move locations both inside and outside throughout the day depending on the activities planned. As camps get closer, individualized plans for camps will be sent to give more specifics on the day to day needs of the camp your child is registered.

Miamisburg Public School transportation and trained Miamisburg Parks and Recreation staff will safely transport your camper when needed to field trips, before and after care, Sycamore Trails Aquatic Center and when applicable off-site camp locations.

ePACT is a secure emergency network that we use to collect medical and emergency contact information electronically for summer camp staff to use. Not only does ePACT replace paper forms, but it gives us another way to communicate with your family in the event that an illness, injury, or general parent communication regarding camp activities is needed.

1. When you register, you will receive an email to the account that you provide at registration.
2. Open the email and click the link to start your child’s profile.
3. Enter the required information. Be sure to have medical information, insurance, care provider contact information, allergies and medical history convenient as you fill out the fields.
4. Add or edit approved pick up contact information for each camper.
5. If you have previously registered on ePACT, it will ask you to confirm the information that was used or if changes are needed.

Camps are Monday through Friday unless otherwise noted, for example there is no camp on July 4^th.
