Camp Spark | Entering Kindergarten. Week 4: Critters and Creatures 

We are excited to meet your kindergarteners! Camp hours for our kindergarteners are 9:00-1:00. Please make sure that you have filled out our summer camp permission form, youth behavior management agreement, and the non-prescribed medication form.

Please send your child with these items daily:

  • Lunch (We are unable to take the kindergarteners to the free lunch program because it is during our swim time)
  • Water Bottle
  • Sunscreen
  • Swimsuit
  • Towel
  • Appropriate clothing for running and playing
  • Shoes that your child can run in!

(Remember to put their name on all their belongings!)

*Please leave any toys at home. (These tend to get broken, lost, or cause arguments)

Drop off will be at 9:00 in front of room A/B. Pick up will be at 1:00 outside next to the wading pool. There is not before or after care for this program.

*When checking out your child, leaders will be asking to see an ID and making sure the

ID matches the name on your child’s approved pick-up list. Anyone who will be picking up your child will need an ID each day of camp.

Your child will still be in their swimwear at pick up time. If you would like to change your child after camp feel free to use our classroom or bathrooms located in the building. We ask that you change your child away from the rest of the campers being picked up.

We can’t wait for all the fun we are going to have this summer. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

Thank you,

Ceci and Kyle

Camp Seeker | Entering Grades 1-3. Week 4: Kitchen Creations 

Kitchen Creations

Campers will be cooking in the kitchen throughout the week and taking home their own recipe book at the end. So, let's see what fun concoctions we can create!

Each day groups will be rotating through the kitchen and making a main dish and a side dish or dessert, along with fun games and activities.

***If your child has any allergies or dietary need please send an email to GeannaH@rrpark.org.

Here are some to dos before your child’s 1st day of camp:

Forms that need to be filled out before the first day of camp. Forms can be emailed to GeannaH@rrpark.org or turned in at the park’s main office in person.

    *Plan to spend a few extra minutes during drop off on the first day of camp to fill out any paperwork not turned in prior to the start of camp.

    • If your child has any special needs, allergies, and/or medical conditions, you can email me or talk with your child’s leaders at drop off.
