Camelot Community Center: Hours, Programs, Rentals & Map

Hours, Address & Contact

For the current gymnasium and building calendars, open the official Camelot facility calendar PDF linked from the City’s center page. Confirm the month shown on the document before relying on an activity time.

Facilities: What Is Available?

For a broader explanation of how public gym memberships, scheduled courts and activity fees work, see our community recreation center visitor guide. Always use Camelot’s own schedule for actual availability.

Gym, Basketball & Pickleball Schedule

Camelot’s published 2026 activity calendar includes open basketball, teen basketball, beginner pickleball, recreational programs and reserved gym sessions. These are examples of scheduled activities, not guaranteed daily drop-in times.

1. Open the current Camelot facility calendar from the official center page.
2. Find the gymnasium schedule for the applicable month.
3. Check whether the activity says open play, registered program, league or rental.
4. Ask about membership and any additional instruction fee.
5. Call 757-485-7400 if your trip depends on a particular court being open.

Membership & Daily Access

Chesapeake offers recreation-center memberships for residents and nonresidents. The City identifies low-cost access to gymnasiums, game rooms and fitness facilities, but membership rules and eligible areas must be checked before purchasing.

A complete current 2026–27 membership price table was not confirmed from the City’s accessible current facility information, so older rates are not presented as today’s prices.

How to Get a Membership

1. Check your category. Identify your age and whether you qualify as a Chesapeake resident.
2. Prepare documents. Bring identification and proof of residency if requesting a resident rate.
3. Find the application. Open the City’s official forms page and locate the Community Center Membership Application.
4. Review restrictions. Ask about use of the gym, fitness room, game room and any age-specific rules.
5. Complete registration. Submit the official membership application and pay the confirmed amount according to City instructions.

Stay & Play After-School Program: 2026–27

Stay & Play is Chesapeake’s after-school recreation program for children ages 6–12. Children must be at least 6 years old and have completed kindergarten. Camelot is one of the listed 2026–27 participating centers.

Activities include supervised sports, games, arts and crafts, social development and special events. The program’s scheduled operating period is after school dismissal, rather than all-day child care.

How Parents Register

1. Read the official 2026–27 Stay & Play page.
2. Confirm that the Camelot location has an available space.
3. Check child eligibility: age 6–12 and completed kindergarten.
4. Review the registration form, payment choices, refund policy and pickup arrangements.
5. Prepare child information, parent/guardian contacts and any required emergency details.
6. Submit the registration using the City’s instructions and confirm the child’s start date.

Important: A listing of Camelot as a program location does not guarantee open enrollment. Check vacancies and transportation or school-pickup arrangements before paying.

Adult, Senior & Seasonal Programs

The center’s activity calendars and Chesapeake’s recreation announcements describe community programs for various ages. Past Camelot schedules have included senior club meetings, open basketball, beginner pickleball and civic-group activities.

If you are primarily looking for age-specific social activities, meal programs or senior services, use our senior community center services guide alongside the City’s current Camelot calendar.

Camelot Community Center Rental Fees

Chesapeake permits approved private and organized events at its community centers. The City’s rental information includes meeting space, a club room with a kitchen, and gymnasium rentals for organized athletic events.

Rates are drawn from the City’s published Community Center Rentals page. Its meeting-room nonresident listing is not consistent for all named center groups, so the Camelot nonresident meeting-room price should be confirmed directly. After-hours rates differ.

For comparisons of deposits, hourly charges and how to choose the appropriate event room, see the community center rental planning guide.

How to Reserve a Room or Gym

1. Pick your space. Ask whether the club room, meeting room or gymnasium can accommodate your event and intended guest count.
2. Select dates early. Prepare two dates at least 21 days ahead. Reservations can be arranged up to three months in advance.
3. Confirm activity restrictions. The City’s policy limits gym rentals to organized athletic events, subject to availability.
4. Review total charges. Calculate the hourly rate, rental duration, $100 security deposit and any after-hours costs.
5. Complete the form. Download the City’s Community Center Rental Application. Print it and provide the required original initials and signatures.
6. Book in person. Submit the application and make the full payment at Camelot. The City does not hold dates without completed paperwork and payment.
7. Keep confirmation. Confirm entry time, setup, cleanup, equipment and the rental end time.

Cancellation, Refund & Overtime Rules

• Cancellation or rescheduling generally requires at least 21 days’ notice.
• The City’s published policy makes $20 of the rental fee nonrefundable upon cancellation.
• Rescheduling carries a $20 processing charge.
• Security-deposit refunds can take approximately 2–6 weeks, depending on the payment method.
• Overrunning the approved reservation can trigger after-hours charges plus an additional $25 per hour.
• Setup, breakdown and cleanup must fit within the reserved time.

Location, Parking & Directions

Camelot Community Center is located at 948 King Arthur Drive, Chesapeake, VA 23323. Use this street address for navigation, rather than confusing it with similarly named Camelot facilities in Omaha, Nebraska or Arlington Heights, Illinois.

The City lists a playground and recreation facilities at the center. It does not publish a confirmed visitor-parking-space count on the main Camelot facility listing, so no unsupported parking total is provided here.

Which Chesapeake Community Center Should You Choose?

Chesapeake operates multiple recreation centers. If Camelot’s chosen class is full or its gym is booked, another center may have suitable availability. Check official schedules before driving to a different facility.

The City’s community centers directory provides official facility information and links for individual locations. Different centers may offer different sessions or availability.

For a comparison of how another municipal recreation center handles memberships, activities and family programs, see our Yes We Can Community Center visitor guide. Its rates and services are specific to New York, not Chesapeake.
