General Information Summer camp programs provide a safe, adult-supervised environment where children can participate in
recreational and educational activities. These programs are intended for children who meet the
following qualifications:
have the ability to follow directions in a large group setting
respond appropriately to adult supervision in a large group setting
perform basic self-help behaviors
Many activities are held outdoors, so campers should be prepared to spend several hours each day
outside. Parents are responsible for applying sunscreen each morning and for including one or more drinks
with the daily lunch. Water and ice are provided on field trips and during outdoor activities. If extreme
heat and/or weather conditions limit or cancel field trips and/or outdoor activities, the camp staff will
implement a modified program. Weather conditions and/or warnings and watches are monitored
closely and updates are relayed to supervisors on field trips and factored into each day’s planned
events. There is a fee associated with each weekly camp. This weekly fee must be paid in full no later
than each Monday morning in order for a child to remain in the camps. Community Education reserves
the right to make changes to this schedule up to and during Summer Camp weeks.
