Day Camp and Half-Day Camp

Our very popular day camp is back!  Our camp seems to get bigger and bigger every year.  We will be taking a field trip each week and will be spending more time at each site.  Field trips are scheduled for Thursdays and are listed below.  We will be swimming again, every Wednesday, at the swim club in Warrington.  The facility we use, Bridge Valley Elementary School, is a perfect place for camp.  We have air conditioning to escape the heat, a huge gym with a climbing wall, a large multi-purpose area to do crafts and play ping pong.  We will bring in different inflatables EVERY OTHER week this year.  Other activities such as kids trivia, name that I tune, a DJ dance party will be brought in when there is no inflatable scheduled.  You also receive a cool shirt when you sign up (one shirt regardless of how many weeks you sign up for).  Our friendly Camp Director and counselors will make your kids happy they decided to come to our camp.  We hope to have new ideas, new crafts and plenty of fun activities for you this summer.  Half day is also available and includes the trip for the week.  All of our counselors are trained in first aid and CPR.  We do not provide snacks, juice or lunch.  We will provide time each day for snacks but you will be responsible for providing the snacks.  Full day campers should bring two snacks each day and half day campers should bring one snack each day.  Time is provided everyday for lunch.  Campers should bring something to drink every day, preferably juice or water, NO SODA.  Parents can download a Frequently Asked Questions at the bottom of the Parks and Recreation page on the website that helps answer any questions you may have.  THERE IS NO PRO-RATING OF THE WEEKLY COST.  Register Here>>

Teen Camp

This active camp embarks on four full day trips each week. Trips range from paintball, the beach and water parks to amusement parks and even whitewater rafting.  The campers will be gone from the site for the whole day.  Times for each trip will vary but the majority of the trips leave every morning between 8am and 9am and return anywhere between 5pm and 7pm.  We want to maximize the amount of time at each site and with some locations further then others, it makes it difficult holding to certain times.  Register early as there are only 45 slots each week which fill quickly.  THIS IS A RAIN OR SHINE CAMP AND NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN ONCE CAMP STARTS.  If we encounter inclement weather, alternative trips may occur.  *Schedule subject to change based on availibility and bus schedules.  Register Here>>   SESSION 1 & 2 ARE FULL.
