Summer Camp Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy's popular summer camps are unique, age-specific programs held in beautiful Frick Park. Led by Parks Conservancy educators, these five-day camps encourage children and teens to learn, play, and grow in our city's biggest classrooms: parks!

Registration for camp opened Tuesday February 15th, 2022, at 12:00PM (noon). Most of our camps are now FULL. Please read about each camp in the next section and join the waitlist for the camp according to your child's grade level this fall. We will let you know if a spot becomes available.

Each child may participate in one camp each summer. Please do not register a child for more than one session. Space is limited and we strive to have as many children experience our camps as possible.

Note that adding a camp ticket into your Cart does not reserve the camp ticket.

Registration will be in two steps. After you purchase your ticket, please check your email to complete the second step to provide camper health & emergency contact information.
