Summer Camp registration –– we strive to be better |
|
The first day of summer camp registration for Skokie residents was held this past Sunday, January 30. Unfortunately, Skokie Park District staff efforts to improve this process were not entirely successful and we were disheartened to hear of the many problems that occurred due to the high volume of online traffic.
Improving camp registration is a priority for our staff and the process WILL be better next year. We would like to thank everyone for their patience and for participating in the district's popular summer camp program. We always strive to make this entire experience a positive one, from January registration to the last day of camp in August.
If you have any thoughts or suggestions, please feel free to email me here.
Sincerely ~ Michelle Tuft, Executive Director, Skokie Park District
