Camp began Monday, June 24, for the first of six weekly sessions. Week four, starting July 22, is full and the previous week, starting July 15, is very close to full. There will not be camp offered during the July 4 holiday week. The last week begins Aug. 5.

Daily activities include swim time in the lake, ropes course, climbing walls, zip line, trampolines, bounce houses, assorted sports and more.

This year Park and Rec has extended the daily hours with drop off at 8 a.m., camp beginning 30 minutes later and ending at 4 p.m. with pickup by parents. There are also more camper spots available.

Each week includes a field trip, as well as a Club Getaway catered lunch on Friday and a camper t-shirt.
