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.

Hello Camp Odyssey Families!

This is our schedule for our third week of camp, World of Wildlife!

On Thursday, Camp Seeker and Camp Rambler will be using Maxwell Hub for loading and unloading busses. We will be leaving after they do and arriving back before them, but please be aware that parking may be limited on this day! 

 Camp Hours and Location

Monday and Wednesday camp hours will be 9am-4pm. On Tuesday and Thursday camp hours will be 8:30am-5:00pm to account for drive time.

 Pick up and drop off will occur at 440 Maxwell Road at the Maxwell Community Hub. Please be aware there is not before or after care for this program.

Along with Camp Seeker and Camp Rambler, we will be heading to the Oregon Zoo for our last day of the week!

Unfortunately, we will not be taking the children to the gift shop this year or to the elephant ear food zone, the zoo no longer accepts cash for payments.

 We will be leaving promptly by 8:30am, so drop off starts at 8:00am. We will be returning to Maxwell Hub by 5:30pm. Both Camp Seeker and Camp Rambler will be loading and unloading buses at Maxwell Hub this day, so parking may be limited!

Paperwork

If you haven’t already, please be sure to fill out a Permission Slip, Youth Behavior Management Agreement, and the Medical Authorization for Non-Prescribed Medicine.

Once you have filled out these forms, you do not need to fill them out again this summer. If your child has attended in previous years, they do need to fill out an updated form.

When you pick up your child, please be sure to bring your ID so we can ensure your child’s safety. We cannot release your child until we have verified your ID against the permission slip for your child. If you would like to allow your child to check themselves out to walk or bike home, please be sure to check the top box, "My child may walk or bike home" on their Permission Slip. 

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.
