DAAPcamps 2025 Registration Now Open!

Register now—spaces are filled on a first-come, first-served basis! If the system accepts your registration, your camper is in. If your camper's registration is successfully processed, their spot in the camp is automatically secured—no further confirmation is needed. Registration remains open until camps reach capacity or May 5, 2025, at 5 PM, whichever comes first.

Register using the link below. Once registered, you’ll receive an email with links to required camper forms (due by May 19, 2025). You'll complete camp selection, camper info, and deposit payment. After registering, you'll receive an email with links to required Camp-Specific Forms. Have medical insurance info, doctor/dentist details, and current medications on hand to fill them out.

UC Employees: If a camper’s parent or grandparent is a UC Employee, request the UC Employee Discount before registering by contacting event.services@uc.edu. You will be provided with a code to use when paying, along with including your M# during the registration process.

Scholarships: Register first, then apply for a scholarship by May 5, 2025 (details in your confirmation email).
