Spring Break Trips
If your child is enrolled in Spring Break Camp, they are automatically pre-registered for the Spring Break Trips.  No additional trip fees are needed.  Parents are only required to sign an authorization form that is found in the registration packet.  Children enrolled in Spring Break Camp will be picked-up by a school bus (not airconditioned) and returned to their camp site.

The Spring Break Adventure Trips program is offered to children who only want to participate in the trips and not the camp. Children are transported to trips by school bus (not airconditioned) and supervised by City of Peoria Recreation staff. All trips will leave and return from Cheyenne, Coyote, and Paseo Verde. Please register for only one of the locations. No food or drink can be brought on the bus ride. We recommend that sun screen be applied prior to attending any outdoor trips. Click here for more information on The Spring Break Adventure Trips program.
