Portland, OR Summer Camp Data

All data on this page is collected through ProjectKids's automated data pipeline. We do not rely on self-reported submissions or third-party aggregators. Our process:

1. Scheduled automated scraping — Our scraper visits each camp provider's official website on a schedule (three times a week January–August, weekly September–December) and extracts session-level data including dates, costs, age ranges, schedule types, and enrollment status.
2. LLM-assisted extraction with confidence scoring — We use large language models to parse unstructured web content into structured data fields. Each extraction is assigned a confidence score. When the primary extraction and a secondary verification pass disagree, a reconciliation step resolves the conflict.
3. Gold / Silver quality tiers — Sessions where all critical fields (dates, cost, ages, enrollment status) are confirmed from the source receive a "gold" quality tier. Sessions with partial data are classified as "silver." Quality tier is tracked internally and influences how data is displayed.
4. No paid placements or ranking influence — Camp ordering and inclusion are determined entirely by data quality and relevance filters. No camp provider has paid for placement, priority, or favorable positioning.
5. Community-reported corrections — Parents and camp providers can report data issues directly from any camp listing page. Reported issues are investigated and resolved within 48 hours.

Limitations: Cost data is available for 111 of 287 camps (39%). Some camps publish pricing only after registration opens or require contacting the camp directly. Enrollment status depends on each camp's website accurately reflecting their current availability. Extended care and financial aid data are self-reported by camps and may be incomplete.
