Residency

What does it mean to be a City of Hyattsville resident? And why are fees different for Non-City residents? 

A City of Hyattsville resident refers to those who live within the incorporated limits of the City of Hyattsville. Residents pay City taxes and therefore pay a reduced fee. Please note that having a Hyattsville mailing address does not necessarily indicate you are a City of Hyattsville resident. 

To verify your residency, type your address into our Residency Verification Map.

Wait List

If a camp session is full, you can sign up for a wait list. The list will be used as space becomes available up to two weeks prior to the start of a camp session. A staff member will contact you if a spot becomes available. You can see your place in line through your RecDesk account.

Fees

All fees are the cost of one (1) child each session. 

**Additional participant applies to household with multiple children attending camp after registering one child.
