2020 Summer Camp Registration

While the Dublin Community Recreation Center (DCRC) remains closed, you can still register online for summer camps beginning Monday, March 30. The City plans to operate its 2020 summer camp program as normal, subject to change based on state recommendations or directives pertaining to the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis.

In an effort to accommodate those who may be experiencing a financial burden, the City has decreased the required registration deposit for Wyandot Camp from 50% to 25%. Additionally, a full refund will be issued for any coronavirus-related cancellations. Should camp group sizes become limited, priority will be given in the order in which registration was received.

For questions please call 614.410.4550. The DCRC front desk will be staffed for phone calls on March 30, March 31 and April 2 from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. For questions outside those dates and times, please leave a message and our staff who are working remotely will get back to you as soon as possible.

Coronavirus/COVID-19 FAQs

The City of Dublin is working closely with state and Franklin County health officials to monitor the spread of the virus and to take precautions to guard against further spread.

You may have some questions about Dublin summer camps related to COVID-19, such as:

• How will you keep my child safe?
• Will camps be limited to smaller group sizes?
• What is your communicable disease management plan and procedures?
• Will my child be required to have their temperature taken upon arrival?
• What are your protocols if a child or staff tests positive for COVID-19?
• When will you know if camp is going to take place?

Those are all great questions that we are working on answering through partnering with experts at Franklin County Public Health, Ohio Department of Health, and American Camp Association, the City’s camps accrediting agency. Your child’s safety is of utmost importance to us and decisions will be made accordingly. As more information becomes available, look for updated communication on our website and via email.
