Camp Extended Care locations are limited. Please check locations while planning camp registrations.
Extended Care provides one hour of additional care in the morning and/or afternoon for campers at their specific camp location. Only campers who already are enrolled in full-day camps can attend extended care. Camps ending before 4 p.m. are not eligible for extended care. Campers choose from supervised activities including board games, cards, drawing, coloring and age-appropriate movies. Registration for extended care is weekly, be sure to register for two weeks if your child is in a two-week camp.
*Advance registration is required as space is limited.*
Extended Care refunds are given in full if requested prior to the camp week. No refunds are given once the week begins.
A $1 fee will be charged for each minute after 5 p.m. that parents are late picking up their camper.

Help us make your campers’ experience the best it can be. Fairfax County Park Authority welcomes campers of all abilities, backgrounds and experiences. Please let us know if your child has any emotional or behavioral challenges as well as any intellectual or physical disabilities. Please reach out to us at fcpaaccess@fairfaxcounty.gov or fill out the Request Accommodations form online with additional details about your camper in advance of the camp start date.
Please provide advanced notice of any accommodation requests. If the request is less than 10 days before the start date, the Park Authority will attempt to provide services; however, we cannot guarantee your accommodation request will be fulfilled.

Whether your child wants to refine their existing skills or try their hand at something new, the Park Authority has a camp that they’re sure to enjoy!
