What to know before you SIGN UP FOR SUMMER CAMP

Access Pass

City of Portland residents can register for a free Access Pass to receive an ongoing discount of up to 90%, which can be applied to camps (as well as admission to recreation centers and pools, classes, lessons, and other registered activities). The pass is valid for 12 months from the date of enrollment. No proof of income is required. Your Access Pass will automatically apply to eligible activities for 12 months.

Register online at portland.gov/parks/discount, in-person, or over the phone.

Payment Plans

You may pay the entire balance or make a down payment of at least 20% for each camp you register for. If you are using PP&R’s Pay What You Can discount, the 20% deposit should reflect the balance after the discounts have been applied. Final camp payments are due seven days before the camp start date.

To help manage payments, PP&R encourages setting up automatic credit/debit payment plans, with the final payment being due seven days before the start of each camp. You may request to not have automatic credit/debit payment plans at time of registration by speaking with a customer service representative (in person or by phone only).

Withdrawals and Refunds

If you need to withdraw from camp, an 80% refund will be issued if notice is given at least seven days prior to the camp start date. This amount would reflect any Pay What You Can discounts that were applied.

No refund will be offered if notice is given less than seven days before the start of the camp. In situations involving life changing events, severe medical issues, or financial hardship, customers may contact customer service for the site/program providing the camp to request an exception.

Requesting Support

Inclusion Services provides accommodations for people that need any additional supports or assistance to take part in PP&R classes and activities that are in their chronological age group. Activities are done in an inclusive setting.

To request an accommodation:

1. Register for your desired activity.

2. Once registered, please complete an inclusion request form which can be found online at portland.gov/parks/air. Once Inclusion Services received the completed request form, you will be contacted by the Coordinator who will establish a support plan for the participant. Contact 971-284-5060 if you have questions.

Request for accommodations should be made a minimum of 10 business days prior to the start date of the class or program. Requests made fewer than 10 days in advance should still be submitted and all efforts will be made to provide an accommodation in a timely manner.

Portland Parks & Recreation uses ePACT to securely collect and manage critical emergency information for camps. Using ePACT replaces the need to fill out multiple paper forms and ensures we have the most up-to-date and accurate contact and medical information in case of emergency. Expect to receive one email invite per child from ePACT. To avoid duplication, one parent/guardian (one email address) should accept the invites and complete the detailed emergency record for ALL family members. Please make sure we have a good email address for you.
