Summer Camp 2009
“Pirate Camp”
The objective of our camp is to keep your child’s mind and body active during the summer while having fun and building new friendships in a safe and friendly environment!
Pirate Camp is a fun filled summer camp for children ages 3-7 (all children must be potty trained). This camp will have a different theme each week and different weekly activities pertaining to the theme. Some of our daily activities will include, sports, arts and crafts, music, community projects, water play, movies and much more.
Camp will begin June 1st and go through July 31st . Each week will begin on Monday at 8:00am and end at 12:00 or 2:00pm. There will be a $25.00 one time non refundable camp registration fee due at the time of registration to cover supplies. The cost per week for one child staying until 2:00pm is $80.00, until 12:00 $60.00. We ask that you please register your child by May 1st to ensure availability. If you register after May 1st the following fees will apply: One time registration fee of $30.00, the cost per week for one child, $80.00 from 8am-12:00 and $100.00 per week from 8am-2pm.
The late fees apply to everyone that registers after May 1st and to anyone that would like to add on an extra week that they did not register for prior to May 1st. If you would like to attend on a daily basis the cost will be $30.00 per day. If you register for a week of camp and your child does not attend that week, you will be charged a $35.00 fee for that week that you do not attend.
All camp payments must be paid in full on Monday morning when you bring your child to camp. You may attend camp every week or you may choose the weeks that you like best, each week will be different.
(tell your friends!! You don’t have to attend ARA to attend the camp!)
