Peter G. Barber, Guilderland Town Supervisor, Welcomes You to GuilderlandRec.com

Guilderland Families,

Happy May! Camps are now open for registration to residents of Guilderland, as well as non-residents. Check out our Virtual Summer Programming Brochure for details on our sports & enrichment camp offerings, as well as the Tawasentha 1/2 Day Camp! Sign up today to ensure your campers spot!

If you are interested in having your child do the 1/2 Day Camp with Swim Lessons (2 week commitment), please register for the wait list for the session you would like on GuilderlandRec.com. Our office will create levels and notify the families that get into swim lessons the Thursday before the session starts. Payment will be due at that time. Your child is welcome to join us for our regular day camp program if he/she doesn't get into swim lessons!!

Our Learn to Swim program is open to Guilderland residents only. There is still space available in Session 1 (6/28 - 7/12, no lessons 7/5)! At 9:50am, there are spots in level 1, level 3, level 4 and level 5. At 10:25am, there are spots in level 2, level 4 and level 5. There are also still open spots in Sessions 2 - 4. Register today to make sure your child is able to get into swim lessons this summer! Check out page 10 of the Summer Programs Brochure and the Learn to Swim registration page for more information! We will also offer our Lifeguard Certification course this summer – Info on page 7 of the Brochure!

With the small swim class sizes this summer, we are asking that families only register for one session of swim lessons (Including the 1/2 Day Camp with Swim) to allow as many young children in town as possible to participate.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions/guidance, we will not offer bus transportation for camp programs this summer. All camps/lessons will require camper drop off and pick up. If there are specific drop off/pick up instruction for your programs, we will email them out to you prior to the start of the camp!

We have not received any updated guidance from the State/County for this summer. As of now, all of our programs will still follow our Recreation Programming COVID-19 Participant Guidance from 2020. If you are planning to register for programs this summer, please make sure to read the guidance, upload your campers updated immunization records, update your account with two current Emergency Contacts, and opt in to the email and text notifications!

Our office is located at 181 Route 146, Altamont, NY – We are open Monday – Friday 8am – 3:30pm. Please call our office at 518-456-3150 if you have any questions! Looking forward to seeing you in our programs this summer!

When you register for camps this season, we will be looking for your child's most recent immunization record. If you submitted a copy of your child’s immunization record to our office, they are now added to your GuildelandRec account. Please take a moment to review each member of your household account. We will need an up-to-date submission of your child’s immunization record prior to the beginning of camp.

For your convenience, we will be implementing a feature that allows you to upload your child's records directly to your account. The steps to upload immunization records are as follows:

Login into your Account
Click “Members”
Select a Member by clicking on their name
Scroll to the bottom - you will see Required Documents and Immunization Records
Click on “Upload”
Click “Browse” to upload the file
Click “Submit”

Please note there is not a clear indication which file or even if the file was uploaded successfully. Steps can be repeated if necessary. If you experience any difficulty, for assistance, call the Parks and Recreation Office at 518-456-3150. In addition, records may be mailed or dropped off to Guilderland Parks and Recreation, 181 State Route 146, Altamont, NY 12009, faxed to 518-456-3156 or emailed to boyta@togny.org. The submission of immunization records will be reviewed and approved by the Parks & Recreation Department.
