Child Records & Registration

ePACT is a system that is designed to create efficiencies for both customers and staff in maintaining confidential information in a secure and safe manner. ePACT maintains the same levels of security as online banking, and limits access only to the administrators who have been assigned privileges.

Through ePACT, you will be able to create/ update your own accounts, upload and complete the required forms giving DPR the necessary information for your child(ren).

ePACT allows administrators quick access to pertinent participant information, contributes to more “green” programs by decreasing the need for paper copies, and provides staff with a variety of ways to communicate with parents/guardians regarding program updates, alerts, and requests for information.

After registering for your desired program, you will be sent a link to access the ePACT system. Through this link you will be able to upload and complete forms including necessary medical information, emergency contacts and any special needs your child may have.

ePACT is also available in Spanish. In order for your program registration to be considered complete and for your child to participate, you will need to:

• Make any payments related to the programs you have chosen

• Ensure you have received a receipt of registration.

Programs with this icon are state licensed and require copies of Health/ Physical form, Age Verification (original birth certificate) and vaccination records prior to child attending camp.
