BROCHURE AND PRINTABLE REGISTRATION FORM
The Wahoo Parks and Recreation Summer Camp is a full day program for elementary age children. The summer camp is designed to provide an entertaining, educational, and most importantly…FUN summer full of various activities, games, crafts, sports, and field trips! The goal of the summer camp program is to allow children to enjoy their summertime while also providing opportunities for physical, mental, and social development. The heart of the Summer Adventure Camp is centered around establishing a close-knit group of friends. The children and their counselors participate in a large variety of activities geared towards their age level. Your child will learn, succeed, make friends, and build skills that will last a lifetime! Dates and Times The camp will begin on May 31st and continue, Monday through Friday, until July 29th. The core program hours are 7:30am-6pm. Children must be picked up by 6pm. Ages Children in kindergarten through fifth grade during the current 2010-2011 school year. Location Campers will start and end their day at the Wahoo Civic Center. Throughout the day, campers may also visit the parks, playgrounds, and aquatic center.

What To Wear Campers should wear clothes and shoes appropriate for both indoor and outdoor activities. Because many of our activities are active, sandals, flip-slops, and shoes with open toes are not a safe option. On swim days, campers should bring a swimsuit and towel. All clothing and towels should be marked with the child’s name. To protect against the sun’s rays, we recommend sending sun block with your child each day. Lunch/Snacks Campers will need to bring a sack lunch and two daily snacks. A refrigerator is available for use. Please label any containers for your child’s lunch with his or her name. Snacks may also be purchased at the Civic Center or Aquatic Center. Swim Lessons Campers that would like to register for summer swim lessons at the aquatic center may do so. Parents should register their children for classes at either 9:30am or 10:10am in any of the three summer sessions. Camp counselors will escort the campers to and from swim lessons each day Supplies The Parks and Recreation Department will provide all materials, equipment, and supplies necessary for the camp activities and games. Campers should leave all items of sentimental or monetary value at home. The Parks and Recreation Department is not responsible for personal items that are lost or damaged. Illness If your child becomes ill during the day, you will be notified immediately. If your child requires any medication (over the counter or prescription), written instructions and a parental permission note must be submitted to allow staff to administer and store the medication.
