Campers will need a backpack with the following items;

  • refillable water bottle,
  • self-sustainable lunch,
  • change of clothes in case of a mess,

No. 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, 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. 

This will depend on the camp your child is in! Please refer to our 2024 Summer Camp Guide to find where pick up/drop off will be for your camper.

Yes, the majority of our camps run from 9am to 3:30pm. We recognize that this can create challenges for family schedules, so we offer before and after care for most camps. Before care hours are from 7:30am to 9:00am and after care from 3:30pm to 6:00pm. Campers in before or after care will be transported to/from extended care to/from their enrolled camp. Please visit our Summer Camp Magazine (page 10) for more information on the before and after care program.

Practicing the 3 R’s

Respectful, Responsible and Ready

Respectful, Responsible, Ready! At Camp Miamisburg we will prioritize the 3 R’s: Respectful, Responsible, Ready!

Campers should be Respectful of others and their equipment, Responsible for their actions and their belongings, and Ready to participate and listen to instructors.

The 3 Rs make it easy for campers to remember the expectations we have while attending Camp Miamisburg. Miamisburg Parks and Recreation Department is committed to ensuring a safe, nurturing environment for all campers attending. This expectation is enforced in a fair and consistent manner. Individuals may lose the opportunity to participate in certain camp activities and guardians will be contacted if these expectations are not met.

Campers are expected to:

  • Take responsibility for their own behavior
  • Be courteous
  • Be respectful of others and their property
  • Cooperate with others
  • Speak appropriately
  • Seek alternatives to verbal and physical conflicts
  • Exhibit self-control
