Attention Chicago parents: Set an alarm for 9 a.m. Monday.
Better yet, set multiple alarms -- because that's when registration for hundreds of Chicago Park District summer camps begin.
All available summer camp programs have been open for online viewing since April 24. However, registration for camps has not yet begun -- and registration dates differ across camps.
According to the Chicago Park District website, some camps open for registration on Monday, while others open for registration on Tuesday. Registration dates for each camp is listed under each camp's page.
Here's a timeline breakdown:
