PURPOSE: The Spotsylvania Parks and Recreation Department’s Camps are designed to teach children the fundamentals of each particular activity. Participants register according to their age and are grouped according to skill levels (for sports camps), at the instructor’s discretion. Age waiver forms are available to move your child up one year older to the next age group for sports camps only (with the exception of Tennis).

REGISTRATION: To register, complete the separate registration form and return it along with the fee and a copy of your child’s birth certificate (if one is not already on file with the department) to the Parks and Recreation Department. Each participant will receive a t-shirt, which they may keep (sport camps only—no t-shirt for arts, music camps, Engineering for Kids camps, fishing camps, horseback riding camps, 7 Habits of Successful Teens, or advanced football camps). Please indicate your child’s shirt size on the form. Please make your check payable to: Treasurer, Spotsylvania County. There will be a $50.00 service charge on all returned checks. 2.95% NON-REFUNDABLE CONVENIENCE FEE CHARGED ON ALL CREDIT/DEBIT CARD TRANSACTIONS.
