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 next to each week. We've added a few new trips and kept some old favorites.  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 that will be used every week, a large multi-purpose area to do crafts and play ping pong.  Kids will take part in outdoor/indoor games, water games, community building activities, arts and crafts and sports.  We will bring in different inflatables every week.  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.  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 manual from the Recreation Events page of the website that helps answer any questions you may have.  THERE IS NO PRO-RATING OF THE WEEKLY COST.  Register Here>>
