This year's Summer Fun registration fee is $25.00 per keiki, with an additional activity fee of no more than $100 for participating sites that offer extra-curricular activities such as an excursion to Kualoa Regional Park. All combined fees will not exceed $125 per keiki.

Additionally, select Summer Fun locations will offer Summer Plus, which provides activities for enrolled keiki before and/or after the regular program hours. This extracurricular program is offered at an additional cost. The exact sites offering Summer Plus are being determined, and will be posted on the Summer Fun website ( bit.ly/summerfunoahu ) when they are confirmed.

Eligible families may qualify for waivers of the registration fee thanks to assistance from the U.S. Department of Human Services (DHS). Families who receive a DHS waiver must submit the document to their respective park at least two business days prior to the registration date. Photo identification must be provided when redeeming your waiver.

DPR is also privileged to participate in the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) in conjunction with Summer Fun. The 2023 SFSP is sponsored by the United States Department of Agriculture (lunch) and State and Local Federal Recovery Funds (snack). The combined assistance provides lunch and a snack to Summer Fun participants 18 years and younger in qualified areas.
