Things to know before you begin
Program participation is available on a first-come, first-served basis. In order to be eligible, participants must be between the ages of 8-16 years (participants who are 7 must turn 8 by August 30, 2025). The 5-week cost for each program option is as follows:
- Residents of Cleveland: $85/child

- There will be no after-program care this year.
Please review the Parent Handbook and save or print a copy for reference. The handbook will answer many of your questions about registration and the program itself.
Registration procedure for 2025
- Submit one program participant application online for each child.
- Attend an in-person registration session with your camper to complete their physical and pay the program fee.
Step 1: Online application

What happens at registration?
- Medical screenings: Medical screenings will be provided during registration free of charge. Physicals performed within three months prior to the program's start date (after March 10, 2025) are allowed with a doctor's signature. No camper will be allowed to participate in NYSP without a physical/medical screening.

- Proof of residence (i.e. a utility bill) and a photo ID.
- Copy of birth certificate if participant is 8-10 years old.
