This program is unavailable.
R.E.C. Camp- Recreation Experiences for Children
Is a wonderful twist on the traditional day camp. Packed with recreation, sports, and arts & crafts, there is never a dull moment. This child-centered day camp is the perfect blend of choice activities, group games, free play, and the ever-popular field trip and swim day. Campers have the opportunity to meet new friends, learn new things, and have fun.
Each day, campers participate in choice activities, group games, and indoor and outdoor play. After a morning on the go, there is lunch and quiet time to rejuvenate and be ready for an afternoon of fun activities. Campers get to choose their activities that come from the counselors in camp. There are a variety of activities to choose from each Summer.
Thursdays afternoons, each session, is a swim trip. The group will visit a pool or beach. Friday mornings, each session, is a field trip such as bowling, ice skating, or berry picking, for example.

Summer School or an Enrichment Camp?
Is your child attending Summer School, or do they want to do a morning or afternoon Enrichment Camp? If so, add a half-day option of R.E.C. Camp- morning or afternoon, and make it a full day of camp for your child.
ENRICHMENT CAMPS
If doing a morning or afternoon Enrichment Camp- register for the opposite R.E.C. Camp half-day option, and the Camp Staff will get or bring your child to their next camp, after having lunch together.
SUMMER SCHOOL
If your child is doing Summer School, register them for the half-day afternoon option of R.E.C. Camp.
NOTE:
1. If Summer School is Mon-Thurs, we will accept campers all day Fridays, if registered for an "Afternoon Option" of R.E.C. Camp.
2. If the Summer School day ends before the afternoon session of R.E.C. Camp begins- that's OK, register them for the afternoon option, let us know your child is in Summer School, and then have the Summer School Staff bring them down to the Cafeteria. There, they will meet up with the R.E.C. Camp.
