Fun Days Track Out & Summer Camps
About Our Camps
Apex Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources offers many camps during the summer and track out camp opportunities throughout the school year. Track-Out camps are offered for those attending year round schools, and Summer Camp information is published each year in March for those on a traditional schedule.

Fun Days Track-Out Camps
Fun Days Track-Out Camp is now FULL DAY! Campers will partake in games, arts & crafts, sports, and more all built around weekly themes. In addition, there will be an off-site field trip at least once per week. Daily recreational activities include use of the gymnasium, arts & crafts room, Hunter Street park, and other amenities. A Parent Information email will be sent out to the designated "Head of Household" email in the week prior to their camp week. This email contains the Parent/Camper Handbook, Program Schedule for the week, and other important information and reminders. Out of an abundance of caution, we do not release Program Schedules, including field trip locations, to individuals not enrolled in that camp week.
*Please note that Fun Days Track Out is integrated with Fun Days Summer Camp June 22-August 14, 2026. Year Round School families seeking camps during those weeks should plan to sign up for Fun Days Summer Camps during this period.
- What is Fun Days Track-Out Camp?
-
Our new FULL DAY camps are designed to accommodate all Tracks throughout the year and run from 7:30am-6pm. Each week campers will play active and passive games, show their creativity through arts and crafts, learn something new with science projects, tap into their music/movement/drama skills, go on off-campus field trips on our new mini busses, make new friends and create lasting memories! Registered families will receive an email prior to the start of the camp week with schedule information.
- How can I register my child(ren)?
-
Registration dates for each season are listed in our tri-annual Program Guides. The first two weeks of registration are reserved for Apex residents, however non-residents are welcome to sign-up once their registration period opens. Registration can be done online at www.apexnc.org/peakconnect or in-person at one of our staffed facilities.
- How much does it cost?
-
Fees for each week will vary slightly depending on the amount of days included. Currently, a full 5-day week of camp costs $220 for Apex residents and $235 for non-residents. The price decreases from here for weeks with under 5 days. Full details about the cost of each week can be found in the Program Guide or during online registration.
- What if my child doesn’t fit in the age range for camp?
-
Fun Days Track Out: Our year-round camp is open to children ages 6–11 as of the first day of camp. Age exceptions may be considered for 5-year-olds who are enrolled in full-day Kindergarten and have completed their first 9-week cycle. Proof of enrollment (including child’s name, school, and track assignment) must be submitted to Megan Jones at Megan.Jones@apexnc.org prior to in-person registration. Approved age exceptions must be registered in person at the John M. Brown Community Center. All registrations, regardless of age exceptions, are processed on a first come first served basis. We do not hold spots as you are going through the approval process.
Fun Days Summer Camp: Due to the demand of registration, we are unable to process age exceptions for campers that fall outside of our 6-11 year old age range. We encourage families to check out the Program Guide for additional camp options for their camper.
Fun Days Summer Camps
Fun Days Summer Camp is held at the John M. Brown Community Center for children ages 6-11. Camp operates from 7:30am-6:00pm, Monday thru Friday. A Parent Information Email will be sent out to the designated "Head of Household" email in the week prior to their camp week.

- What is the Wait List?
-
The Wait List is a tool that we use once a program has reached its maximum number of participants allowed for the program. Participants on the Wait List will be placed based on two factors:
- Residency Status – Apex Residents receive priority over ETJ and Non-Residents in their Wait List position
- Date & Time of Registration – once residency is established, the date and time at which the participant was registered on to the Wait List further determines their position
- What is my residency status?
-
For the purposes of Apex Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources program registration, an Apex resident is considered to be any family or individual that resides within the corporate limits of the Town as defined by the Apex Planning and Community Development Department. Non-residents who may have an Apex address but live outside the corporate limits are considered “ETJ” (Extra Territorial Jurisdiction).
If you have questions regarding your residency status, please call us at 919-249-3402 or use this map to check your address. - Can I check my position on the Wait List?
-
APRCR staff cannot inform you of the spot you are in on the Wait List, but can confirm that you are on the Wait List and how many other participants are on the Wait List. Registration on to the Wait List does not guarantee a spot into a program.
- What happens if a spot opens up in a program?
-
Once a determination is made by APRCR staff to release someone from the Wait List, staff will contact the first person on the list as determined by the above stated factors (please see “What is the Wait List”). Participants will be contacted by phone first, followed by email if no answer, as determined by the Main Contact on your account. Once contacted, a family will have 24 hours to respond back. Failure to respond within 24 hours will authorize APRCR staff to go to the next person on the Wait List.
Individuals that accept the position for registration will be given a timeline to complete their registration. Failure to meet that deadline will result in removal from the waitlist and the next eligible individual will be contacted.
- I have more than one child on the Wait List, what happens if I get a call?
-
Unless otherwise stated, openings offered to the Wait List are on an individual basis. Due to our firm maximum numbers, we cannot override our maximums for siblings, other family members, or friends that were on the Wait List but not called. In order to maintain fairness to those on the Wait List, openings are non-transferrable, even within households. We appreciate your understanding!
- When should I expect to hear something?
-
Registration Withdrawals and Transfers can be requested in accordance with our Refund Policy. Please note that any Wait List notifications would come from APRCR staff no later than 5pm on the Thursday before the start day of the upcoming week of camp.
Camp Forms
Fun Days Track Out & Summer Camp: While registering via PeakConnect, please ensure all guardian emails are accurate. Guardians designated as the "Head of Household" will receive an email invitation from the ePACT Network to complete Participant Profiles within 24-48 hours of their initial registration. These profiles must be completed prior to the first day of camp, and no later than noon on the Friday before camp starts. Parents with multiple campers signing up will receive separate emails. Parents will be prompted to Reconfirm their camper profile(s) every three months to ensure that information is accurate and up to date. If you have any issues or questions, please email Megan.Jones@apexnc.org.
Medical Needs & Inclusion
Fun Days Track Out & Summer Camp: If your child may require the use of any medication (including emergency medication, such as an Epi-Pen) during our full-day camp programs, you will be prompted to complete a medication form found in ePACT. Medication will be collected at check-in on Monday and will be returned at the conclusion of the week. If your participant has a disability or cognitive disorder, please note that a staff member will reach out to you for additional information to ensure your camper has a successful experience. For any medical or inclusion related questions, please contact Emily.Saunders@apexnc.org. For more information about inclusion and medical support services, click here.
