Seattle Parks and Recreation day camps at Hiawatha and Ravenna-Eckstein community centers are at capacity for Sept. 9, 10, 11. In the event of a Seattle Public Schools teacher strike, parents or guardians can still register their children for day camps at remaining available centers. Available centers include:

• Northwest Seattle: Ballard, Bitter Lake and Magnolia community centers
• Northeast Seattle: Meadowbrook and Northgate
• Central Seattle: Miller and Queen Anne community centers
• Southwest Seattle: Alki, Delridge, High Point and South Park community centers
• Southeast Seattle: Rainier, Rainier Beach and Van Asselt (with Jefferson) community centers

Seattle Parks and Recreation, in partnership with the Associated Recreation Council (ARC), is expanding currently scheduled before- and after-school care into all-day camps on Sept. 9, 10 and 11.

The day camps, which will operate from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., will take place at 16 designated community centers around the city with capacity for approximately 850 children. They are for youth aged 5 to 12 who are enrolled in regular Parks and Recreation/ARC 2015-2016 school year before- and after-school programs. These day camps will operate only if school is not in session and will operate at no additional cost to families.

Parents or guardians can still register children by phone or at their home community centers. Registration is first-come, first-served. Before- and after-school program registration paperwork must be completed to be eligible.
