D.C.'s Department of Parks and Recreation is rolling out a lottery system for its popular summer camps.
The District’s Department of Parks and Recreation bills itself as “the agency where the fun happens.” But for parents trying to get their children a slot in one of the department’s summer camps, the experience has often been anything but.In previous years, registering meant going online at a certain day and time and hoping that your application landed in the queue ahead of everyone else’s. Most of the time it didn’t.
Officials say the lottery is a more equitable way to handle camp assignments, especially for some of the most popular locations. In a press release, DPR said: “All lottery registrations have an equal chance of being selected. Registering early for the lottery will NOT improve your chances.” The summer camp program is open only to D.C. residents.
