Child, Youth and School Services Summer Camps

Parents: Summer is near and we have just what

you are looking for to keep your children

involved and engaged. High Adventure 2011 is a

fun and exciting way for your teen to spend

part of his/her summer vacation. Youth Services

will offer program activities (Monday-Friday)

that will include field trips, arts & crafts, men-

toring, sports, cooking, and much more. This

camp begins June 6 and costs $55 per week,

special field trips are an additional fee. The

camp day begins at 9 am and ends at 6 pm, with

the exception of special field trip days. If

accommodations are required prior to 9 am,

youth will participate in the ―Promise Passport

Community Service‖ program and assist with

setting up daily activities starting at 7 am.

Attendance is limited to youth in 6th-9th grades

(youth eligibility for Youth Services programs is

based on the grade participants have just

completed, not the new grade they will enter in

the fall of the next school year) who are Family

members of active-duty military or Department

of Defense civilians employed at Fort Hood.

Legal proof of guardianship is required for

youth not residing with parents. Campers will

receive a USDA nutritionally balanced lunch

and after-noon snack. If your youth is allergic to

a certain food, a doctor’s statement must be

provided before a substitute food can be

served. Youth should wear appropriate summer

School-aged Services is also offering a camp for

youth in kindergarten through 5th Grade—

suits, towels, extra T-shirt, and sunscreen.

Please have a bag with your youth’s name

plainly marked on it to prevent confusion and

loss of personal items. Also, please mark your

youth’s clothing with name tags or a laundry

marker. Youth are responsible for their own

items. A lost and found box will be set up at

each site and should be checked daily. At the

end of each camp week items are discarded.

Youth are not allowed to bring bikinis,

open-toed shoes with straps, toys, hand held

games, glass containers, makeup, radios, tank

tops, cameras, money, or anything you don’t

want lost. New families will register at a site

registration at their home site. Kindergarten:
