2026 Affiliate Enrollment

Current UC Davis affiliate priority registration will begin on March 16th. To prevent our registration portal from experiencing technical difficulties, we will be staggering our registration times based on grade level:

UC Davis Affiliate Verification

We will verify that everyone that registers during the priority registration period is a current UC Davis affiliate (Staff, Student, or Faculty). Non-affiliated registrations will be cancelled and refunded. 

Waitlists

Once a camp session has reached its maximum capacity, the waitlist will automatically become activated and you can add your child's name to the waitlist. Participants will be notified if and when a spot becomes available. Please Note - Campers placed on a waitlist will no longer be able to register for the session you are waitlisted for. Once on a waitlist the only way to be registered for that program is through the office.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do you categorize by grade level if the system uses age restrictions?
Camper experience is enhanced when interacting with peers at or around their developmental level. Age isn't always the best indicator of that level. Unfortunately, the portal doesn't allow restrictions by grade level, only by age, so we've done our best to align the two. If you run into an error trying to enroll a child that doesn't meet the age requirements but is the appropriate grade level, send us an email so we can work through it together!

What about waitlists?
Waitlists will open once a program reaches it's capacity. Once a camp session has reached its maximum capacity, the waitlist will automatically become available and you can add your camper's name to the waitlist. Participants will be notified if and when a spot becomes available.  Please Note - Campers placed on a waitlist will no longer be able to register for the session you are waitlisted for. Once on a waitlist the only way to be registered for that program is through the office.

Will there be spots left in camp for Community Registration?
The majority of spots in camp will become available during Priority Registration. However, we will be continuing to reserve a handful of spaces in each program for release during Community Registration. The number of spaces will be dependent on the total capacity for the program and will be determined by Youth Programs staff members.

What is the fee structure?
Youth Programs has a single-price fee structure, so all families pay the same. Price ranges may be shown for programs that have offerings over the 4th of July, those sessions will be prorated to reflect that there will not be programming on that day. Additionally, we will be using an early bird pricing system moving forward. All programs will be priced at their early bird rates for the first week from March 16th to March 22nd, at which point prices will rise to the level they will maintain for the rest of summer.
