Parkland Kids Camp is
a summer recreation program for children ages 5 to 11 (kindergarten through
grade 6). Children must be five years of age by June 16, 2008 to enroll
in the program. The program locations are Park Trails Elementary School
and Riverglades Elementary School for all sessions. The program hours of
operation are from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM. Extended hours are not available.
Children are grouped according to the grade level they will be entering
in the Fall of 2008. The children are placed in a camp group of 25 children
or less that are supervised by three to four counselors (Senior Counselor,
Junior Counselor, and Counselor In Training). The Camper to Counselor Ratio
is 7 to 1. The program consists of sports, arts & crafts, games, special
on-site activities, and field trips. Field trips are taken aboard air-conditioned
motor coach buses. Field trips are taken three days per week to facilities
located in the tri county area such as movies, bowling, water parks, arcades,
skating, museums, etc. Basic field trips are included in the cost of the
camp program.
