Little Apple Day Camp

Kids who have completed Kindergarten through 6th grade as of May 2026 will enjoy a summer full of arts, crafts, swimming, excursions, and more at this Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) licensed day camp. It is based in the City Park Pavilion and runs weekdays from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm. All trips and activity fees are included in the session cost. Snacks are provided, and lunch is provided by Unified School District (USD) 383. Attendees may take swimming lessons for an additional fee.  Registration opens March 2nd at 8:00 am.

A Youth Waterpark pass will be included with your child's paid registration for Little Apple Day Camp. This pass can be used at CiCo, City, or Northview Waterparks during regular open hours, during the 2026 Waterpark season. This pass will not need to be brought when LADC attends the pool during the day.

This activity is eligible for a payment plan or can be paid in full. A minimum of 50% of each session's fee is due to reserve a child's spot. Sessions must be paid in full within five working days prior to the first day of each camp session.

Little Apple Day Camp Weekly Sessions

Little Apple Day Camp is expanding its offerings to better serve families by introducing weekly camp sessions, in addition to our traditional full-session of LADC.

The new week-long sessions provide the same high-quality activities and field trips offered in the full Little Apple Day Camp experience, while allowing for greater scheduling flexibility.

These sessions are based in the City Auditorium at City Hall and runs weekdays from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm. All trips and activity fees are included in the session cost. Snacks are provided, and lunch is provided by Unified School District (USD) 383. A Youth Waterpark pass will be included with your child's paid registration for Little Apple Day Camp. 

Available Sessions

Required Forms

Before you jump into filling out the Registration Packet, please read all information outlined on this page.

The registration form will be a fillable PDF, however, the signature lines MUST be filled out by hand, as KDHE does NOT allow digital signatures. The 20+ lines of locations we may travel to are a lot of signatures, however, the more we have signed here, the less we will have to have signed during camp time.

This packet is significantly shorter than in past years, in hopes of saving your time and ours. This now means that EVERYTHING in this packet must be filled out (with the exception of the optional back page). KDHE has granted us permission to use this form as long as they have all the information they need during our inspection so please make sure these pages are filled out in their entirety. If anything is missing we will contact you prior to the start of camp.

Lastly, we are still NOT allowing these to be turned in electronically/via email. These packets must be completed and turned in, either by mail or in-person, to any of the Recreation Centers by May 4, 2026. It is not required to have the registration packet completed in order to register. You can register when registration opens, and turn the packet in at a later date before the deadline. All In-Person registrations must be done at the Anthony Recreation Center at 2415 Browning Ave, Manhattan KS, 66502.
