Summer 2025 Registration timeline:
March 3 – 4: Registration for returning families. Registration opens at 7 AM on March 3 and closes at 5 PM on March 4. A “returning family” includes any child who has been registered for a program at Common Ground since summer 2020, and includes any siblings who may not have previously been registered for programs. A link will be emailed in advance to eligible families.
March 5: Registration open to all. Registration opens at 7 AM and the link will be live on this webpage.
How does the camp waiting list work?
- If a camp/session is full and you wish to enroll then please register for the waiting list. There is no cost and no obligation to being on the waiting list.
- We will contact you if a spot opens up, and you can accept or decline at that point. We take children off the waiting list when a space becomes available due to a cancellation, and that can happen at anytime, from March up until two weeks before a session starts, at which point we close rosters to all changes.

FINANCIAL AID is available for summer camp. Complete the short application HERE to see if you are eligible for a fee reduction of 10% – 75%. The deadline for financial aid applications for camp is February 10, 2025. We will respond to applicants by February 14 to let you know how much financial aid you are eligible for. Being ELIGIBLE for financial aid does not guarantee a spot in camp and does not guarantee that financial aid funds will be available when you register. More information will be sent to families who are eligible for financial aid.
