The process

Four small steps. One huge exhale.

Here's exactly what happens between finding a camp and your kid showing up on day one.

1. Search & discover

Browse verified camps across Washington DC, Maryland & Virginia by category, age, price, mode (in-person or online), and location. Every listing shows real dates, real pricing, and real parent reviews — no calling around to confirm details.

2. Compare & watchlist

Found a few options? Add them to your watchlist instead of trying to remember which registration opens when. We track each camp's registration window for you, even ones that haven't opened yet.

3. We book your spot

When a watchlisted camp's registration opens, Recess Sync notifies you immediately — or, with pre-filled forms, submits your registration the moment the window opens. You confirm by text. No 5:59 a.m. alarms, no refreshing a form for twenty minutes.

4. Enjoy the recess

That's it. Track upcoming sessions from your dashboard, message the provider if you need to, and get back the mental energy you used to spend on registration day.

What it costs

Browsing and watchlisting camps is free. We only charge when we successfully save you a registration slot — see current pricing on the homepage.
