These changes have been made as safety is everyone’s top priority while maintaining a great camp experience for our campers. Read specific details according to each camp, available below. Camp WBOur action-packed day camp, Camp WB, features unique arts and crafts projects, sports, games and nature exploration and education.

Nature CampsNature Camp is a great place for children to become immersed in the natural world around them, in a fun, safe setting. Every camp day they will explore our trails, engage in active play, crafts and have unique interactions with live animals!

Contractual Camps
We are delighted to be able to work with independent contractors to be able to offer other camp experiences for your child. These camps include a variety of sports, art and science offerings. Details are included in our Camp Guide.
Registration Information:
Registration begins April 19 at 8 am. Early registration for 2019 & 2020 Camp WB campers is on April 16 from 8 am-4:30 pm. Register by June 1 and receive a $10 discount on each week of camp (unless stated otherwise). All camps will take place outside for the 2021 camp season. See the Parent Newsletters for specific inclement weather details. In some instances, if inclement weather is predicted, we will contact you via phone and email. A make-up day has been pre-scheduled for select camps. If no make-up day is offered, a prorated refund will be provided.
Here is a checklist to help you:
1. Camp Agreement and Release Form
This gives our staff basic information about your child and gives permission for your child to participate in the camp. This form is required.
2. Concussion Form
This form is required by the State of Michigan. It must be turned in with the other forms prior to the start of camp. This form is required. If you've completed this form for a previous camp or program, you do not need to complete it again.
3. Medication Administration Policy and Permission Form
This policy, adopted by the Commission in February, 2011, describes the conditions under which your child can receive medication during camp hours. The form is only needed if your child needs to take ANY medication during camp hours (either over-the-counter or prescription and includes inhalers, epi pens, etc.). One form must be filled out for each medication. Please note: part of this form must be filled out by your physician.
- Paperwork only needs to be submitted once for the entire summer. Must have a valid digital signature (i.e. with timestamp), typing in a different font will not meet the requirement.
- Camp forms must be dropped off (4640 Walnut Lake Rd.), emailed* (camps@wbparks.org) or faxed (248.738.2529). *Scanned camp forms are preferred over a cell phone photo of your forms.
- Once your camp waivers have been processed, you will receive an email confirmation. At that point, you can register online or give us a call for assistance.

Financial Aid Program
Our 2021 Financial Aid Program is currently under review. We will have an update April 12, 2021.
The Financial Aid Program is designed to assist West Bloomfield families in a financial way by subsidizing the cost of up to two programs and a maximum of $200 per child, per year; on a first-come, first-serve basis. In January, the Commission approves an annual amount of money as matching funds for this program.
