PlayCamp at The Sue

Started in 1966 by former Parks Supervisor Sue McCollum, Playcamp is located near the Midtown area and is the city's oldest fee-based camp. Located in the beautiful Lafayette Park area, we offer a camp with small camper to counselor ratios and a fun mix of both active and passive games. Besides our 20-acre park area we feature a ballfield, playground, tennis courts and a multipurpose center with a gymnasium and classrooms. Camp is for 5-year olds (providing they have completed kindergarten) thru 12 years of age. Campers bring a lunch and a drink, and we provide a morning snack.

Playcamp Lottery registration will be Monday, April 7 from 9:00am - 9:00pm. Registration must be completed in person at the center. Since this is a lottery-based system, arrival time does not affect your chances.

The lottery drawing will take place the following morning, and all participants will be notified of their results the same day.
