Finding the Right Camp

Finding the Right Camp

Search for camps, classes, and programs from the search bar on Enrichment.kids. This guide covers searching and filtering, the activity categories, and what the labels on listings mean.

Search and filter

Start with a location. Type a city or ZIP code in the location box to see programs near you. Then narrow the results with the filters above the list. Each filter has an Apply button, and Clear removes all of them at once.

Age

Tick the ages you want, from Under 1 through 18, or Adult, then click Apply.

Dates

If you have specific dates in mind, set a range. The Dates filter works best on listings marked Availability! or Waitlist only, because their session dates are known. It appears when your results include those listings.

Categories

Pick activities such as sports, cooking, or performing arts, or a feature like a pool. Only categories with programs right now are listed. See What the categories are for the full list.

Statuses

Show only listings with a certain label, such as Availability! or Opening soon. The labels are explained in What the labels on listings mean.

What the categories are

Programs are tagged with one or more of 36 broad categories, so you can browse without wading through hundreds of narrow options:

What the labels on listings mean

LabelWhat it means
Availability!Open spots, shown up to date. You can register on Enrichment.kids.
Opens and a date, such as Opens 3/28Registration opens on that date. The Statuses filter calls these Opening soon.
Waitlist onlyThe program is full. You can join the waitlist for a specific session and hear from the provider if a spot opens up.
VerifiedThe provider has claimed the listing and confirmed its details, but isn't taking registrations on Enrichment.kids right now, either because they register families elsewhere or because registration isn't open yet.
Updated and a date, or no labelAn unclaimed listing: we added it from our own research and the provider hasn't claimed or confirmed it yet. It shows an Updated date if it changed in the last 30 days, and no label otherwise. The Statuses filter calls these Unclaimed.
SponsoredThe provider is promoting this listing. Clicking it opens the provider's own website in a new tab, where you can find their details and sign up.

Listings that haven't been updated in 18 months are archived and no longer appear in search, so the results stay current. Providers can also archive a listing themselves at any time, for example when a program ends.

Read a quick description

Most listings in your results have a small arrow on the right. Click it to see a short description of the program without leaving the results.

Open a listing

  • For programs that register on Enrichment.kids, clicking the title opens a page with full details and the sessions you can sign up for.
  • For other programs, the title opens a page with the program's details and a link to its own website, where you register.
  • Sponsored listings open the provider's website in a new tab.

Register

When a program shows Availability!, pick a session on its page and register. You fill out the provider's forms and pay in one checkout. For a full program, join the session's waitlist from the same page. For the step-by-step, see Detailed Overview of the Registration Process.

After you register

Watch your email for messages from the provider about anything to know or prepare before the program starts.

Frequently asked questions

What does it mean when a listing has no label?
It is an unclaimed listing that hasn't changed in the last 30 days. The details came from our own research and the provider hasn't confirmed them, so check with the provider before you plan around it.

Can I register for a Verified or unclaimed listing on Enrichment.kids?
Not today. Those providers aren't taking registrations here, so the listing links to their own website, where you sign up.

A program I saw before is gone. What happened?
It was most likely archived, either because it hadn't been updated in 18 months or because the provider archived it. Archived listings don't appear in search.

Do I need an account to join a waitlist?
No. You can join a waitlist without an account. You do need one to register, and you can create it during checkout.
