- 5% off for 5 or more camps
- 10% off for 10 or more camps
- 15% off for 15 or more camps
Discounts do not apply to Extended Care, Drop-In Days, or Specialty Camps run by Outside Vendors.

Payment and Cancellation Policy
Payment in full is due one week prior to the first day of camp. A non-refundable $25-per-camp deposit is due at the time of registration.
Extended Care does not require a deposit; payment is due one week prior to the first day of the week. Campers who are dropped off to camp more than 15 minutes early will be sent to Before Care and charged the drop-in fee. Campers who are not picked up 15 minutes after the end of their camp will be sent to After Care and charged the drop-in fee.
Drop-Ins do not require a deposit; payment is due at the end of the week.
Registrants may elect to pay their total camp balance at the time of registration. If so, any cancellations will result in a refund less the $25 deposit.
Registrants may also elect to use the Summer Camp Payment Plan. Once you have paid the $25 per-camp deposit, the remaining balance, including Extended Care charges will be charged to your card one week prior to camp. In the event of a cancellation, your card will not be charged for the remaining camp balance.
If a camper wishes to switch camps, provided space is available, he or she may do so with no additional cost. If the cost is greater than the original registration, the difference will be due the week prior to camp. If the cost is less than the original registration, you will be refunded the difference.
If registration is deemed to be insufficient one week prior to the first day of camp, PDS reserves the right to cancel that camp and refund your payment in full. Unfortunately, PDS is unable to prorate a camp fee for any day(s) your child may miss. Except in cases of illness or emergency that is disclosed to PDS prior to the start of a camp, refunds will not be given after a camp begins.

Elementary-aged campers should register for their grade for the 2026-2027 school year.
We are now using UltraCamp for summer registration. You will need to create an account on UltraCamp that is separate from your PDS account.
Create your UltraCamp Account here.
Scroll down to your child’s name and click on it. From there, you can click on edit my bio information and you will be able to select the grade from a dropdown menu.
Choose the grade your child will be in as of Fall 2026.
At the “My Reservations” page, you will be able to click on the camp name. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, and click “Cancel Reservation.” Please note that you will not be refunded the $25 non-refundable deposit fee.
Double-check that your camper is not registered for a camp at the same time. If you are registered for a morning of Camp PDS, your camper becomes ineligible for the Specialty Camp happening at the same time.
To fix this, cancel the current reservation, and indicate “Switching” under reasons. This will help us know to waive your $25 fee. Then, you should be able to make the correct new reservation.
If you are still experiencing issues, please email us at
