- How does lunch and snack work?
-
Campers should bring a refillable water bottle, packed lunch and afternoon snack with them each day.
- Do campers swim at the Wyoming Family Aquatics Center?
-
Yes! Campers will swim daily and go through a swim test which will determine what access they have. They will receive a green or red band accordingly but parents always have the option to request a red band for their child and not do the swim test.
- I plan to sign my camper up for the swim team, will the camp staff once again be able to walk them to camp from the pool?
-
The short answer here is yes, those are our intentions as we understand how vital this convenience is for many of our camp parents. There will be a fee associated with this add on.
- Will the camp go on field trips?
-
Yes! We are scheduling field trips as we speak and will go on a variety of field trips. However, we will not go on a field trip every week as we will at times bring enrichment to camp. For weeks when we go on a field trip, there is a $25 field trip fee.
- Tell me more about the camp staff!
-
Chris Skidmore is the Camp Director and has been overseeing summer day camps for over 18 years. The summer camp leadership team will consist of (1) Camp Coordinator and (3) Camp Managers. In addition, we will have a staff of roughly (35) camp counselors and (5) CIT's - aka - Counselors in Training. Many attended camp here at the Wyoming Rec Center and bring with them their talents, skills and enthusiasm! They represent a mix of local high school / college students and professionals. Many either plan to be teachers or already are.
- Any other information you'd like summer camp parents to know?
-
At Wyoming Recreation, we love summer camp and are counting down the days until summer returns. Our goal is to provide a camp where kiddos can be their true authentic selves in a supportive environment. We encourage creativity and will provide plenty of platforms for our campers to grow. Campers are from a variety of communities so there are plenty of opportunities to see old friends and make new ones! Families will once again have the ability to purchase a concession card for your camper to use at the pool each week. We will sell these in increments of $25 per card. Each camper will get a camp t-shirt to wear. We are an electronics free camp meaning campers are not permitted to bring their devices to camp (phones, tablets, etc.). Our camp is on a daily schedule that includes sports / games, arts / crafts, leadership / team building, outdoor education and of course plenty of time for exploration. We are fortunate to have an air-conditioned gym on site and (3) turf fields that we will utilize for programming. The pool is connected to the Rec Center as well for an easy walk each day.
