2008 SUMMER ADVENTURE CAMP
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 June 2nd and continue, Monday through Friday, until August 1st. Note: There will be no camp offered the week of June 30th-July 4th. Weekly field trips are generally held on Fridays. The price of the field trips is included in the weekly camp rate. The core program hours are 7:30am-6pm. Children must be picked up by 6pm. Ages Children in kindergarten through fifth grade during the 2007-2008 school year. Location Campers will start and end their day at the Wahoo Civic Center. Throughout the day, campers may also visit the parks, playground, and aquatic center. Camp Counselors The coordinator for the 2008 Summer Adventure Camp program will be Cassie Havelka. Ms. Havelka is a graduate of Wahoo High School and currently attends Concordia University.

Late Payments: A late fee of $5 per day will be added to your balance if the remaining balance is not paid in full the Friday before each session begins. 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 and microwave are 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 children to and from the aquatic center so they can attend lessons during these times. 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. Mandatory Parent's Meeting: Tuesday, May 20th @ 6:00pm Civic Center Gym Parents will be given a full program packet and general overview of the camp. Field Trips Field trips are generally held on Friday each week. Examples of past trips include: Mahoney State Park, Henry Doorly Zoo, Baseball Games, Roller Skating, Bowling, and more. A complete trip list will be made available on May 20th. |
