At KCC, we are always looking for ways to improve our camp experience while continuing to support our amazing staff through training and engagement. As part of these efforts, we are adjusting our regular camp hours to 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM.
We will continue to offer extended care from 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM each day for an additional fee. Extended care from 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM will be $25 for the week.

Cancellation and Refunds
All KCC programs may be subject to cancellation or modification.

If you wish to cancel your registration, an email requesting cancellation must be received by DayCamp@KensingtonCommunityCouncil.org two weeks prior to the start of camp and a 50% cancellation fee will be retained. If you cancel less than 2 weeks before the start of your camp week, 100% of the registration fee will be forfeited. While we do what we can to make the camp environment safe, families are reminded that the possibility of COVID-19 transmission cannot be eliminated.
